Think it is near the 30X mark. Definetly above 25X.

Had a marine setup for around 6 months now. 240L + 30L sump, skimmer, 40kgs live rock, small clean up crew (5 mexican trubo snails, 3 hermits, 1 shrimp), few fish. I seem to get a lot of detritus/debris on top of the sand that just sits there. Looks like bits of algae, or broken bits etc etc...

I received my Live Rock two days ago. I have placed it all in my tank nicely, and added my Live Sand. I turned all equipment off, except for the heater. So there is nothing running, no skimmer, no powerheads, no flow to the sump. The sand hasnt completely settled yet, but it is slowly...

I am getting a large amount of evaporation. In my final chamber of my sump, I notice after say 12 hours, around half the final chamber has evaporated. I have no auto top up system in place, nor do I particluarly want one. How can I help prevent this water loss? I am going to buy a...

I am in the process of setting up my marine tank, and am having problems with my sand. I have bought few bags of ultra fine grain sugar sand, and using it both in my tank and sump. I have washed it thoroughly and now I have filled my tank with RO water. I have let the sand settle and am now...

I am nearly complete with my marine tank setup. I am now at the stage I want to add sand. I am going for around 1 inch sand in the main tank, and a 5 inch Deep sand bed in the sump. I do not want to add Live sand. I have considered the benefits and have decided to go with regular sand. I have...

Also for information my tank is a Juwel Rio 240. Does anyone know if these can be drilled? (i.e. are/aren't they tempered glass??)

Hi, I would like someone to drill my 4ft tank. I am London based! Is there anyone who can recommend someone who will provide this service in the London area? I know hardly any shops will offer it because of the risk. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I am designing a sump system for my marine aquarium and and up to the stage of calulcating flow rates etc. My question was quite generic - does there have to be a specific amount of water flowing down to the sump and back up to the main tank? (x lph) The reason I ask because I was thinking...

Thanks for your advice. Regarding the powerheads, I have decided that the Tunze 6025 and a Tunze 6045 will be decent enough for my setup. However, after reading on other forums people have difficulties with fish being sucked into powerheads. 1) How true is this? 2) What do I do to prevent...

Hi, I am in the process of planning my new marine tank setup. I have a 240L tank. I have done a lot of research, but still have a few questions. My first questions are regarding powerheads. I am looking to have a reef system with about 40KG of live rock. I believe I need to aim for around 30X...

Hi, I have bought a Juwel Rio 240 (240L, W:121cm, H:55cm, D:41cm). The tank is currently EMPTY. I am looking to start up a new marine aquarium and am looking for advice. I have done nothing yet, this is all the planning stages. I am chosing to go for a REEF type marine environment, as opposed...
