So last night my 3rd zoa frag melted away and 3 more frags have been closed up. Sounded like I had some sort of zoa eating pest in the tank so I dipped the zoas and the only things that fell out were a ton of pods... Now I introduced pods to the DT and refugium a couple months ago to diversify...

I actually had this same problem when I bought a used mp10. The propeller wouldn't spin and had a bit of resistance to it. From my understanding if the wetside has any resistance to it the dry side is not strong enough to spin it. I had to buy a new wetside and when I tested the new wetside it...

I've been considering this for the future. Right now all I have are frags so not much is being consumed but I feel like once everything starts growing this may be worth while, especially if I dive into the SPS world.

So I ended up getting a Trigger system tideline sump spec to follow: Dimensions: 36" long x 18" wide x 15" high Skimmer section: 10.5" x 17.5" Refugium section: 8" x 17.5" Total water volume: 41.7 gallons (larger than the display...) - I ended up pulling one of my mp10s from my 29g biocube and...

Makes sense. No I do not..

Did that too =)

I actually did tape it =). The tape was clear so it is kinda hard to see. Thanks!

Talking about Petco sales and tanks lying around, I have a 20g long that I purchased thinking of making it into a sump. This never happened and I just ended up buying a sump, so I have a brand new 20g long just sitting around if you want it let me know.

Finally got the sump in and in the process of making rodi. Unfortunately it is a long process to make enough water for this much volume. I plan to mix the salt in the tank and wondering if I should take the dry rock and marine pure block out when putting in the salt. Plan to add some prime as...

I have Sonic and I have to say it is great. Havn't had any major issues with the service and finally not having crap upload speed (had Comcast previously, great downloads real bad upload speeds) has been a godsend for uploading files. Not to mention download speeds are top notch. I'd have to say...

Haha yah I had to take the chance had a bunch of buckets and towels on stand by just in case. I'll have to make a trip out to lowes and pick up some thing to hold the PVC to a 2x4 that will be pushed up against the pvc. I'll make sure it isn't pulling or pushing on the PVC good to know these...

Yes that was the one thing I definitely wanted to test lol

Those are actually not even cemented yet (the 90 degree elbows). I only put them there b/c the water fall was really loud so just during water testing i just added them so the water splash wasn't so loud. I havn't gotten my actual sump yet so I didn't want to do anything permanent for the time...

Hmm I'll look up what i'll need to buy to support that. I am not even sure how I would. The part that makes it kind of difficult to support it is because the plumbing never goes under the stand. I can't fit a sump under the stand so I opted to place the sump behind the stand. This makes it so...

Well as some of you may know I have started a new project. Since the petco sale was going on and I was running out of room in my biocube I started up a 40g breeder and decided to give a hand at doing a bit of custom work. So far the stand has been built and the plumbing is in a temporary stage...

I saw something like this as well and was debating about it but I heard siliconing acrilyc to glass doesn't hold well. I think I've just decided to see if I can find a used professionally built one.

This made me laugh out loud at work and every one is now staring at me... I laugh only because this is me. I really need to just buy the thing and chalk it up as an investment. Your absolutely right. Buying the tools to build the stand ended up costing me more than just buying a stand... and the...

Yah I think i'll start looking into buying a used one. Seems like they go fast will have to be on the look out. Also I suppose the pros do make sumps way better than I could possibly build one haha.

Hmm as I was looking at lowes and home depot, 3/32 or 1/8 thickness is the only sheet of glass I could find that they sell. They don't seem to sell 1/4 " unless I some how missed them... Did some research and a lot of people are claiming that the glass eventually bows or is pretty fragile where...

Yah there seems to be one right by where I work(SFO). Will have to check it out after work. Dang.. finally got a hold of some one and they said they don't cut glass any more =\ oh well. I've always been the adventure type I shall cut it myself!
