Hmmm. I thought there was an acrylic plate above the sock, for you to secure your tubes to. How will you secure your tubes..will they just lay in the sock or something? I am confused as well. Your first pic looks a bit different.

1. I meant to use the BH-100 inside the sump. So where does it suck from and where should the return go? Although I am not familiar with this skimmer, just by looking at it I would probably route the return somewhere away from where the suction is..maybe route it to return chamber is possible...

Hey @Navdeep, my responses are below, in bold. Hope this helps. I have a BH-100 HOB skimmer and want to continue using that in here (since its pretty new) That's probably fine. Need a Refugium for sure Your large center chamber might be able to be used as a refugium. Filter media... How does...

I enjoy watching your progress. I especially love the "Lumber Tax" rant. :beer:

That's what I said. ;)

Thank you so much for the tips! I thought as much. My levels do appear low. This is the first I tested them. It's intriguing because D-D advertises slightly higher levels. I will test again just to make sure I have a correct baseline. I have that same calculator bookmarked! Glad to see a...

Testing the Big Three I have been looking up my favorite corals, and what my water params need to look like if I want to keep them successfully. I went to Reef Raft and purchased a Red Sea Reef Foundation Pro test kit. Although my tank is still cycling, is it worth it to keep tabs on my...

I am interested. :) I live in east bay, work in Santa Clara, and will have to coordinate a time to come out there. You've got PM!

You like how slim the 150's in comparison?

I actually didn't think about the 150, a little bit because I wanted a light that had the dials up top to adjust spectrum. Not only that, but what I really wanted to incorporate was one single light fixture, I guess I wanted the least amount of clutter on this tiny tank. I almost went Radion...

Cool thanks. That's what I'm hoping. I had a sump with filter socks on my last setup so obviously my water was like Waterford Crystal no matter what lol. Nothing is blowing around, even with the upgraded pump. I used Fiji Pink. I was super tempted to use Oolite. I've never seen it before...

Thank you so much for the kind comments!! That Sharks collapse about broke my heart. Ugh. :( On the bright side, here's a couple pics from this evening! Qq, my water just isn't as polished as I'd like it. I'm new to the AIO style of filtration. I'm running bags of carbon and filter floss...

Beautiful additions!

Looking good! That is a very beautiful tank. Love black silicone too. I see you're going bare bottom?

I'm telling you! Isn't that much better than doing the tourist thing? Having a BBQ on the beach, perfect weather, friends, what more can you ask for? I want to go back now!! Are your friends also aquarists, into diving? On a side note, I paid $9 for three onions at Safeway in Kihei. :O

You guys are funny! Okay I remember Paia..we stopped after lunch at a shave ice place right there on the main street. Did you happen to visit Mama's Fish House by chance?

Paia..that's up where all the wind surfing is right? You must have had a great time..were you surprised at how "slow" life was on Maui?

Wow that's awesome!!! When on Maui, I stay at Ed and Suzzi Robinson's place in Kihei. I don't dive, but I'm really interested in getting into it. I love that turtle! Very beautiful coverage. Simply amazing!

Very interesting! I will check that out!

Thanks Dan! What didja use to saw the rock? I have a bandsaw at work..it's got a metal blade on it though. Any tips? Thanks for the reassurance on the temps. :beer:
