Ok, So here is a semi-stupid question LOL... The stand for my 75 gallon glass tank (48x18x21) has an open top... Tank just sits on the stand with the frame and no where else. being a reef, and saltwater being heavier than fresh, should the top of the tank be solid, or is this the norm for...

wanting to do everything correct the first time, so wondering on the overflow plumbing if it makes any difference if I use the flexible hose, or Scehdule 40 PVC? Advantage of the hose is smoother bends, possibly less restriction?? Thanks:help:

Was going to see if I could salvage any of the Live rock I received, even though it had only been kept moist by the guy with fresh water... got 10 gallons of instant ocean and submerged half the rock in each of 2 5 gallon containers. Stuck a rio 1700 in one to circ, dropped my Sedra 5000 in the...

Wondering how the lighting from a pair of 35 watt automotive HID lamps would work for a reef... They can be had in kits of 2 for about 100 bucks, and come from 5000K up to 15,000K Each unit runs off 12V at about 4 amps... Have also seen newer HID ballasts that are 55W each with Bulbs.

Ok, I've had several months to sit back and look at things. I originally decided to go FOWLR and go to reef later, but I would rather do it right the first time and just go reef... I have a 75 gallon tank and stand, Eshopps 100 20 gallon sump, ASM G1 skimmer, And Sedra 5000A return pump. I also...

Quick question... Picked up a couple of the blue plastic food grade barrels for RO water storage... They were originally filled with Horse shampoo concentrate... Any way to ensure I get every last bit cleaned out? any special chemicals I may be able to use to make sure it's clean? Thanks
