    Not running skimmer

    A long time ago I had a 40 gallon cube that I ran without a skimmer. It had an old Euroreef RS-80 but the Sedra pump was so loud I ended up taking it off line. The tank was OK but I ended up doing more water changes. I eventually swapped it with something with a Sicce pump.

    DIY Algae Turf Scrubber

    I was hesitant to post because I don’t know if counts since I kind of cheated with AA doing much of the heavy lifting. Either way, appreciate the support.

    DIY Algae Turf Scrubber

    This is exactly what I was looking for. The device and the post. I searched the interwebs and your post validated my findings. The grow lights came with a on/off switch and I plan on splicing there and reusing the existing heads. I have an unused distroblock and will be ordering the power...

    DIY Algae Turf Scrubber

    Lights I really don’t like the wiring for my lights, I was going to run six transformers to a surge protector. That will go to a single outlet to my Apex. Does anybody know if I can use a single transformer that will split into 6 lights? I attached a picture of a single transformer to this.

    DIY Algae Turf Scrubber

    Intake I plumbed the intake with a gate valve so I can control the flow. I plan on using an existing controllable Tunze DC pump (I really hoard too much stuff) to feed it so I don’t plan on using the gate valve but it’s nice to have if I ever go with a AC pump or feed from a manifold. Drain(s)...

    DIY Algae Turf Scrubber

    Knowing my limitations, I didn’t think I’d be able to make an acrylic product that I’d be proud of so I reached out to Advanced Acrylics. After sending them my renderings and Jon had something nice made for me. The lid and rounded corners were a nice touch. I also bought some growlights on...

    DIY Algae Turf Scrubber

    Background: Due to some equipment failure, I changed my sump set up out and temporarily took my refugium offline. GHA took over my display and refugium while everything stabilized. My DT is now GHA free. Problem Statement: GHA is established in refugium and out competed my chaeto. It comes...

    Dorado's 3'x3' Cube

    This set up makes me want to get a cube tank again. Your setup is well thought out and looks clean. Glad the cyano problem worked out for you - usually when I get it I realized I needed more flow but there is more than one way to do things!

    Suggestion for additional reef fish and corals

    Beautiful tank! What size tank (dimensions) is it? Also in terms of fish, from the pictures you also have a clown pair and trigger but didn’t list it in your post though - do you still have those? I have a standard 240 gallon (8x2x2) and have a 10+ inch blonde naso and sailfin. Those things...

    Water waste management idea

    I’ve been struggling with the same dilemma about wasting the water since it can still be used for other things. I am not sure how/if it can feed the irrigation system but I plan on plumbing the waste water to a container on a raised stand. I want to tap the container with a valve where I can...

    New members who do not post or engage.

    Hey Jose. Not making excuses but the reason I don’t post often is because I try to only add helpful content, and many people beat me to the punch. Unfortunately, if I had to do an analysis of my posts here, I’m sure there would be a high volume in the Marketplace which is what I think the thread...

    Temporary Hair Algae Eliminator

    Long story but I had to take my refugium offline for a bit and then changed out my sump. Once I did this, GHA took over my DT. I used 3 doses of Reef Flux and it kept the GHA in control but it was temporary because it kept coming back (that’s why I did 3 doses). My tank eventually stabilized...

    Anyone know where to buy 2" Schedule 80 PVC?

    I bought a 10ft 1 inch schedule 80 that needed to be shipped to a Grainger location. Similar to your scenario, shipping was a few times the actual cost of the product itself. I would recommend Grainger but when I picked up they were on abbreviated hours and could only pick up on a short window...
