Thank you, littlereefers. I will check out the Sicce Syncra 2.0 pump. Controllable would be pretty cool, but would definitely increase the cost.

Hi Arnold! I am alive... downsized to only this tank, which used to live in my office. Hope you are also doing well...

Hi Mario! That is a good temporary solution, thank you. I hope you are doing well.

20 gallons isn't bad for a tank of that size!

Those Ecotech Vectras look really cool... would definitely be an ($$$) upgrade!

great way to deal with a difficult situation! I love shallow tanks. Just curious about the evaporation... can you estimate the number of gallons you have to replace each week? My 29 gallon tank (with no canopy and a 10 gallon sump) has a surprising amount of evaporation.

Thank you for the suggestion, NanoCrazed. I bought two Jebao powerheads in the past, and both completely died within several months (while the Koralias and Vortech have lasted for many years). I'm glad you have had success with a Jebao pump.

Hello BAR friends. Many years ago, I converted a glass 29 gallon freshwater tank to a reef tank. I did this by painting the back of the rear glass blue, having a friend drill a hole in the back, adding a drain, with a flexible black hose leading to a 10-gallon sump. I have been using a Maxi...

Looks amazing, Sergio! I love the aqua-scaping, and the acans in the front right of the tank.

Wow, that is an amazing story about your clownfish.

I'm learning from this thread, since I recently removed a couple of rocks from my tank that had hard-to-remove algae. I soaked them in a strong bleach solution for about a week, then blasted them with the hose nozzle, as Jon suggested. I left them out in the sun over the weekend, and they have...

I recommend a divider if you plan to use macro algae. Otherwise, you can just keep live rock with a skimmer in the middle compartment.

Cool video-- makes me wish I was able to join the behind-the-scenes tour. Thanks for sharing the link, Jwicked.

Jim, your tank looks beautiful! Clearly thriving. The copperband is a great addition. So glad the purple, desjardini and hippo tangs are getting along with the other fish in your tank. How do you keep the sand so clean?

The tangs look very happy in your frag tank! I look forward to visiting them and seeing your system now that it's fully set up and running.

Wow! Was it burrowed into a rock crevice? Were you able to measure the total length? Was this worm in your dual display tank?

RIchard, thank you for sharing that article. Acidification is not just negatively affecting coral reefs--it's already having an impact on our California coast.

When I lived in S.F., I bought my RO water from a dispenser at Whole Foods on 4th St.

I was hoping to attend the lecture tonight, but won't be able to make it. Sounds very interesting.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I used the screwdriver to break the vacuum seal, and the container opened easily! And I learned some interesting considerations from salt mixing as a result of this thread.
