I large tank requires a lot of planning and research. Spend the time...draw it out and post your plans and ideas for others to critique. I agree that a large tank is much stabler, and in some regards, easier to maintain. The additional space provides more aquascaping freedom and permits...

I have several groups in my 180. Sometimes they school or hang-out together, other times they swim on their own. Including Royal Gramma's & blue Chromis

Nice job. I thought it was easy to use and offered many configuration options

I also got mine from Savko. Just saw it at Menards though. They sell it for hot tubs too

My guess is that they were referring to the upgraded motors in the 1" models. Ed has upgraded to a quieter motor now. I never had one of the older versions, but mine is very quiet

Very nice white polyps at nite or early am when feeding

fishpoo--i forgot to answer your question. There isnt an adjustment on mine. Is yours new? If you used it with Kalk instead of just RO, maybe it needs a cleaning?? Or maybe the H2O pressure is stronger than the float can handle... That could get dangerous

joekelley-I just bought one wed from Dirk @ Dirks Reef or something like that. $15 + actual shipping charge. Met him at CMAS. Got it today. Good price/service. All I have is a ph#. Send me an email if you need it(I dont have it with me). You need to drill a 5/8" hole.

I saw a 48" for $7 @ HD tonite. They are 40watt 6500's

I used an acrylic/plastics company from my local yellow pages. Or try: http://www.lifereef.com/products.html http://www.wetdryfilter.com/

Here's a good one... emergency items, especially the more common ones. Impellers, Bulk heads and other plumbing pieces not carried at HD, test kit refills, medication. Think about items that you would not want to wait for delivery. I also wish my LFS served coffee.

Not to add duplicate info, but I just went thru the same ordeal. I lost a jumper before I built my canopy. What a shame they were a beautiful couple. After a few months, I ran into another gold striped maroon that was very small. After acclimation, I added the new clown and they immediately...
