  1. Pics of my latest setup!

    I've been working hard on this setup since I did an upgrade/relocation. It's been up and running for around 6 months now. The previous setup was up and running for well over a year. Made a lot of mistakes in the beginning because I listened to the LFS folks. Anyway, here's my new setup: 90g...
  2. Noisy Iwaki...user error?

    I just finished setting up my upgraded 90G in a dedicated "fish room" in my house. I worked very hard at limiting the noise with the overflow and sump and am now battling it out with my Iwaki 40RLXT. I thought it would be a good idea to bolt it down inside the tank stand with 1/4 inch rubber...
  3. Gravity flow rates tank to sump?

    I am in the process of upgrading my reef system now that I know what i'm doing :roll: Anyway, I am putting in a 90 gallon acrylic with a 30 gallon berlin sump. I plan on returning water (and providing current) via a Iwaki 1200gph pump. What would be the minimum overflow size to keep up with...

  5. Adding sand to an established tank?

    I started out with a pretty nice 3-4 inch DSB before the cyano breakout... :? After removing much of the sand with the cyano, I am looking to replace it. First of all, can this be done without kicking off another cycle? I really want to add about 3" of southdown mixed with live sand to the...
  6. Reef movie

    I just wanted to share a short 4 minute Quicktime clip of life in my three month old reef tank. I was really really bored the other night so I broke out the DV cam and caught some pretty good footage of my clowns playing in my new plate coral. Of course, the original footage is much nicer...
  7. MH upgrade to PC lighting

    Hello all! I'm new to the forum and I'm thinking about upgrading the lighting on my 55 Gallon reef tank. I have some Ricordia's and a leather right now, but I decided that I didn't want to be limited to the types of coral I can have. Here's what I have: 48" JBJ Formosa DX 4*65 PC lighting...
