Way to go Kabob ... that pic is terrific! Congrats!

What do you think of the quality of plumbing parts at Home Depot? Are there any parts you wouldn't get there? Ball valves? check valves? What is YOUR prefered source?

Thank you righty and leonard for your thoughts. Here's the scoop on my system. It's a 120G AGA tank with an approximately 30G custom sump. The main pump is an iwaki 70RLT. The top barbs are for the two main tank returns. The two barbs on the side go to a 30G above-tank refugium. the...

I'm assembling the plumbing that goes from my sump - - to my pump - - to my tank and refugiums. I'm poised to order these all from Marine Depot and Savko so I hope they won't mind that I borrowed their images to create this illustration to help with my planning. A few questions: 1) How is the...

My friend and I bought an established 75 gallon reef setup from a fellow reefer. We'd like to split up the tank to "seed" our own tanks at this point. Dividing up the rock, live sand, and fish are certainly no big deal .. but dividing the coral is a bit more challenging. I know that some corals...

I'm putting together a 120G reef and am lucky enough to have a closet nearby that I can use to house various hardware. This closet is actually for my water main/meter and street sewer access. MY QUESTION I'd like to use this closet to house my RODI unit and tanks for topoff and water...

I helped a friend of mine move a 75 gallon reef across town. I took a bunch of pictures during the move .. thought you'd get a kick out of our adventure. Enjoy! http://home.wi.rr.com/cyberplot/Opening%20Page.htm

Thanks for the welcome Rich. I've been a member of Reef Central for a bit now and recently learned of Reefs.org. I'm relatively new at this so I appreciate any words of wisdom I can get. I'm going to give this tank drilling a little more thought. Thanks again.

You're right that I really shouldn't assume that levels for the city are the levels I have in my house. I'll certainly take the time to take some readings at home. Copper is likely to be a problem that I can't ignore. I guess a RO DI unit will be an investment I'll need to make. Thanks for...

I'm curious what you think of these readings. I live in the city of Milwaukee and this link shows the latest compound readings in our city water. http://www.mpw.net/Pages/wqr2001.html (look about 3/4 down the page for a chart of compounds. ) With these levels, do you think I need to purchase...

I have a good lead on a 125 Gallon glass tank, 72X18X22. I'd like to take this tank and add internal overflows in each corner with intakes and drains in each overflow. 1) Can I add overflows to a glass tank myself? Does anyone have a lead on overflows for a decent price? Could I make these...
