    Tank Is Up And Running

    I would definitely get another powerhead. You want an hourly flow rate of at least 10x the capacity of the tank, in your case this would be 550 gallons per hour. Live rock requires a high water flow. Some say 20x the tank capacity! Get rid of the internal filter, and replace it with a nice meaty...

    Tanks Starting To Get Somewhere

    Very nice piccies there! Look like they should be in books! Is that a Seio pump in the left hand corner? I just got one but it sounds like a freakin' coffee grinder :angry: so i want to get rid of it. My Eden powerhead is totally silent by comparison.

    Hello! New Here. I Have A Question

    No, I don't want to risk it- I was just wondering if anyone else had used 2 part epoxy without problems. It's the best holding glue ever! :good: I can't use superglue as it dissolves on long term contact with water, which leaves good old silicone. I need some anyhow to stick the background...

    Hello! New Here. I Have A Question

    No, I'm actually in the UK - northeast. :good: So I assume the two part epoxy (Araldite) is a no-no then? on the resin bottle it says toxic to aquatic organisms, I was wondering once it set if it becomes inert. It's good strong stuff though - I use it for my RC planes. Yeah, I know about the...

    Hello! New Here. I Have A Question

    Thanks, I guess you mean the cyano superglue, that comes in small bottles? I want to keep the canister filter, as I believe this gives me more flexibility by being able to add charcoal and/or phosphate remover, plus it'll help with water movement. I'll very likely get another powerhead, and...

    Hi everybody! I'm getting back into marine fishkeeping after a 14 year absence - still doing lots of research and reading all about this live rock stuff...sounds amazing, :hyper: the Berlin system wasn't really widespread back then... Anyhoo... My question is about my protein skimmer. It's a...
