    Submersable return pump

    I give up on this old Reeflo. It needs new bearings and I don't have the time to wait around to have it fixed. I need this tank running. The fish and everything are doing good, but without the sump operational, the skimmer is sitting idle. Anyhow, I'm wlling to trade this Reeflo for a...

    250W DE Bulb

    Doesn't have to be brand new, but if anyone has an extra one laying around collecting dust, I could use one. Thanks!

    36X36X36 Cube Beast!!

    Well my 180 may be pump-less right now, but I've transfered all of the live rock and fish out of the cube. So it's time to get it out of my dining room. Gets kind of crowded in there with a 180 and a 201 gallon beast! Anyway, I'm out in the Palm Springs area. Bermuda Dunes to be exact. I'm just...

    WTT Skimmer/ Sumps for 250W halides

    I'm going through the closet and thining out the things I have no use for. I have a huge Aqua Euro USA skimmer that's in decent condition. It doesn't have any pumps and it has a couple of chips on the lid. I also have a couple of sumps. One is glass and has a hole drilled for a 1 1/2" bulkhead...

    Plumbing Question

    I am in the midst of plumbing a new glass 180 and I've come across an issue I've never seen before. My return pump is a Reeflo Dart (old one) with a 1 1/2 inch output connection. The return bulkheads (there are 4 total) are 3/4 inch. If I put a 1 1/2 to 3/4" reducer somewhere between the pump...

    Back to SoCal

    Hello everyone. My name is Matt and my family and I are moving back to the Palm Springs area later this week from the Seattle area. One thing that I loved up here was the tight reef community that went out of thier way to help a fellow reefer. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with you...
