can you post a pic? maybe somebody will know exactly what you have

hey i don't know much about them, however, I would first try to identify it, then if you have a qt tank i would put him in there for a while to see if he settles down, i assume you ordered online. it may have been a rough ride and only putting out defenses or something like that. It probably...

every now and then my toadstool goes into remission for a few days. I used to get concerned about it but now it is just something it does and I know he will be back in a day or two at full strength. my question is why do they do this occasionally and when they do only one longer dead looking...

interesting thread, i can be swayed both ways, the person who has a 5 galllon nano tank with the 55 gallon sump does have a nano tank as the display. but it is a 60 gallon system. hmmm not sure I would switch it around and have the 55 as the display and get a 10 gallon on the fuge...

the exact opposite for me, mine is from my return line, I have been planning a little diy elbow in the line and running the line under the water, my skimmer is absolutely silent, (red sea berlin)

X's orbit is my old power compact orbit fixture, i got the orbit extreme with the halides in it. i took out the wooden dowells and put in acrylic rods to hold the rock work btw

it isn't more surface area really for protien skimming it is more surface area for gas exchange. but the more surface area he means is it is more room for more equipment in the sump. if you have a longer sump you can house the skimmer and have baffles and return pump and it isn't all cramped.

no skimmer running on the tank now? also if you used a UV sterilizer it might help out alot if it continues to be a problem...

x just got the lights from hombby and is very satisfied with quality and price, ask him a few questions about it

I hate to admit it but he's right

http://www.fishlore.com/aquarium_light.htm i couldn't find something to guide you for a 24" deep tank,,, if you look you will find

this one is short and quick What type of lighting should I use? Choose lighting based on the animals in your aquarium. • For a basic fish tank use one or two wattage bulbs. • For basic reef tank and freshwater planted tanks use 3-5 watts per gallon. • For a deluxe reef tank use 7-12 watts per...

well let me be the first to take a crack at it in laymans terms. your gonna need a len or a chrisrd if you want professional advice. I have a 125 gallon and I have the outer orbit extreme, 4X96 watt power compacts and 3 150 watt metal halides, I probabbly should have gotten the 250 mh's...

I have a rocking chair from the sixties. I will post a pic someday soon

I agree with cindre, The pics are blocked at my work so I can't see them until I get home but I can invisions what you are posting. He mentioned bio balls and built in protien skimmer. I agree that you can do a glass tank with baffles and a return pump and a seperate "in sump" protien...

I am not jealous at all, your in better hands with len. He da man! thanks Len, show this guy a pic of your tank?

I didn't know , well props to you too. It is very interesting design, I can't wait to see it with plants in there and the overflow box going. looks good i guess you showed people in work huh?

Len he likes your advice, keep it coming!!!!

I was the only voter, i just went with the least lol inch per gallons not the reverse

what's great about this design is that there are no baffles. you don't have a little section for evaporation for a pump to starve. the whole sump is the last baffle. terrific set up, very impressed I can't wait to see it in action and let us know how it turns out.
