Then running all my media in...

I hate filter socks, but I also hate detritus in my sump. I’ve been trying to come up with an idea for a replacement for a filter socks. I have a CNC machine here so I can build a lot of different things. I’d prefer if I could make something that uses filter floss or something that I can...

Hey everyone! New to the site as well saltwater! Currently, I have my tank that’s it. 55 gal, bare tank. I am making my own stand and hood, already in the process. My biggest question is about filtration. I’m not going to have the room to run a sump system. Was planning on running a canister...

I am looking through other options for the Juwel filterbox. I have up until now used it with the original sponges but am now considering removing the entire unit upon learning the sponges may become nitrate traps. The pros for removing would be: more space in the tank, less unsightly tech. The...

I just purchased a UV sterilizer for my 29 gallon mixed reef (Coralife Turbo-Twist 9w). I was wondering how many of you run a UV sterilizer and what you've noticed from running them, both the good and the bad? Do you run your UV sterilizer 24 hours, or only during certain times of the day...

I have a 29 Gallon standard aquarium. It does not have a sump and is filtered by a CPR Bak-Pak Skimmer and a Tidal 55 HOB filter. The next piece of equipment I would like to add is a UV Sterilizer. Most of the "better" UV filters seem to be large and would work best with a plumbed system...

My RODI unit is showing TDS out equal 1. Is that water ok for a water change? and when should I change those filters?

Hi, I am in need of a well priced RODI. I asked already in the New to SW section but I had no idea this category existed. If there's any deals/coupons currently going on out there I would love to know. Aiming for 4-5stage RODI that can handle silicates and chlorinates/chloramines. I really...

Hey Everyone, I am need of a RODI and I am not sure which one to pick. Looking for something that is priced just right that is well built. So far I have checked out KoolerMax AR-122, Spectrapure (not sure which model to settle on), and BRS Systems. Are there any other systems you would...

I'm currently running a marineland 360 canister filter and I've been thinking about changing the filter media. I'm using what came with the filter; from bottom to top: coarse foam, carbon, bioballs, ceramic rings w/ polishing filter pad on top. I've been doing a lot of research on canister...

Hey peeps, I'm running a marineland 360 canister filter. It's been up and running for 6 weeks now, cleaned once 3 and a half weeks ago. For some reason I am getting microbubbles (mb) from the return flow. The mb aren't happening constantly, they come in little spurts; I can hear that it's...

I'm on day 16 of my tank cycle and have brownish algae starting to grow over my dry rock. I started with about 25 lbs of dry dead rock and 20 lbs of live Carrib sea sand in my 29 gallon tank. I'm currently using Red seas reef mature pro kit and it mentions I need a protein skimmer but nothing...

Bought it off eBay had no manual so I'm not quite sure where the optimal water level to set it at. This is my first in sump skimmer and it is working quite well foaming and producing waste I would just like to know what the optimal level is

Hey all, I just got done designing the filter for my up-and-coming 20 gallon long reef tank. It will be made with black acrylic and siliconed together. Here's a pic of just the filter with dimensions: Alright, lets break it down. The first chamber is the overflow chamber, nothing too special...

Hi all:) Just going the through the list of "what to buy" for my new 30g. Filters: well, my tank came with one but looks ancient. I am curious what you all would recommend as a good one that not too pricey and works well for a few torch corals and clownfish. Also something that isn't too loud...

Does anyone know where I can find replacements for each section in this filter? I have had a 28gal JBJ tank for a long time now and have never replaced the stuff in the filter.

I have some equipment from a previous build that is taking up space in my closet. Everything is in excellent condition with original boxes. The list with prices (including shipping via USPS) is below, but I will also take offers. Let me know if you have any questions! Eshopps PSK-75H...

Hi Guys, My nano tank 15G/60L has been running great for over a year, water parameters look alright however I start noticing a caulerpa racemosa invasion and some dino. I am using crushed live rocks in my back filter and was wondering if I should keep it this way or if it could be generating...

Hello! I have had my tank for about a year now. It is somewhere between 40-50 gallons. The only thing I'm not to familiar with is my sump because I bought the tank already set up from someone, I just transported it to my house. I am interested in having a refugium. I am considering just getting...
