Hi Ian, No problem. Enjoy your reefing. Chelsea played very good. What boring boring Chelsea. In fact, i think most would play defensively against chelsea that make the game boring. Liverpool played like craps. By statistics, they played the most long ball tactics. Unless they play attacking football, then the match will be interesting. Who is boring? Just look at Liverpool n Man U match. Liverpool n Chelsea match in champion league too. Better spend my time in dreamland than to watch these matches.

Brother, better make sure your source of power supply is different breaker. If not will overload and trip.

Liverpool 1 Chelsea 4. Holy Cow. No one can stop Chelsea. Ole Ole Ole Ole.

eballast no problem as i have no problem with the aquamedic actinic using the same. 2 x 39W, 1 for 10,000k n 1 for actinic.

I do not know which. But i know which one must be avoided. I have used Aquaz and Aquamedic. Aquaz seems like never breakdown before even you use for 1 yr or so. But Aquamedic 10,000k. Bought 8 within 2 mths all blown. And i discover the end of the tube are all black. I have no problem with Aquamedic Blue. I am surprised that German made tubes are that poor. I sworn never to use Aquamedic Tube.

I have a few crabs in my tank. I have ignored it and now it becomes 3 inch big. I know there are 3 or 4 that size and some are smaller. Really must catch them with traps. I found some even use their claws to pin on the base of the sps. Hope to catch all. The moral of the story is be patience. When setting up your tank. Make sure you remove all nusiance pests. Hope that last time i cook the rocks with kalk powder and make sure the pH drop and also all the pest inside the rocks.

Yup. As well as your shrimps.

That is why must get more energy efficient pumps. Less power.

Be it yellow or six line wrasses. All are equally effective. But.............. once they are acustomed to your food. Nothing can stop those nudi.

Best is to get a pH controller to maintain your CR. so no problem after setting up no matter what your bubble count is.

Gray belle. But i prefer yellow belle regal.

Hi, Sorry. bought at $139 (3 weeks ago) selling at $110.00 Upgrade to continuous monitoring system.

Hi all, Selling almost brand new salinity and temp lab grad tester. Used for 2 times. selling because upgrading. Pls see http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=200753 for detail.

Well, alot of people miscalculated the size of sump (including me). And tank maker normally do not know it or unaware of it because you buying your own equipment. They normally guess or presume. Hence many have overflow problem during power tripped. Even with those info you have, it may not be accurate (length/dia of pipes, volume of alll pipes also contain water during normal operation). That is why i suggest you include a drainage pipe in the sump for overflow if you can connect to the floor trap. Just to be safe and keep your floor dry.

Hmm.. I presumed your return pipes are on top of your tank. So do some calculation on the volume of water that your pipe (submerged under the water, i.e. different in height) drawn during backflow. That volume + 50L(from your skimmer) = total volume of your sump (Remember to minus of the water that are running during normal operation!!!) This will tell you whether your additional water that go into your sump during electricity trip will not overflow (i.e. total = 120L) Hope you understand what i meant.

Yes, i believe tunze will suck in air and produce bubbles. unless you want to hide it inside your overflow box. Thus all eyesore tunzes will be covered. BTW your return pumps are too big, i hope you consider your sump ability to hold the water in case backflow. You may also use 1-way check valve, but again flow will be restricted. I dont know whether this will have impact if you using pressurated pumps.

Connect the main tank drain pipe and link to the drain pipe of your sump thus give you a main drain pipe. This also can be connected to your washing basin pipe (underneath your basin) which lead to your floor trap. Save alot of trouble doing water change.

I see, so no walls on the side blocking. Then should be ok. BTW, better calculate your pump flow and the size of your sump. Just in case electricity trip..... Sump overflow. I hope your tank maker can do that calculation for you. Just 1 last contribution. Since you are doing a water draining for water change. (I do not know how your drain pipe run to). Put a overflow pipe in your sump to drain off excess water in case of electricity trip.

I hope you consider your durso pipes are accessible. Just in case you need to do something.

Oh, 2 purposes. To circulate and to do water change.
