Nothing a generator won't fix , some of the most incredible places that I have been to were dry dock.

Well it looks as though I am going to be a father .LOL
I noticed my Open Brain coral has a baby growing on one side of it.
I will try to get a pic but it is covered most times by the Mother.
Very...

Cool

It just goes to show that you learn something new every day LOL.
It's still to small for his needs if you follow the rule of using a skimmer rated for double your water volume , do they...

Not sure what is causing this have you tested you water lately ?

Tim

I agree with Coach try adding some type of black or blue background , you will be amazed at how it will change the look of you Reef.

Keeping up with water changes should help with the algae a...

You have a few options.

It is possible to go skimmerless if you are willing to stock lightly and feed lightly , also you would need to be very consistant with water changes.
Many people are...

I used boiling water on the couple I could see and added a couple Peppermint Shrimp to take care of what I couldn't , never seen one again.

Tim

Octopus makes a great line of middle end skimmers , I have seen very good reviews on other sites with very few bad comments.
They have built a very good reputation and are affordable.
I have been...

Simple floor test to see if its concrete or wood.
Get a small nail and try to hammer it in to the floor , if it goes in it's wood , if not its concrete. :hmm3grin2orange:

Small update today.

I had been planning to add a remote Refugium for some time and today I finally got a chance to do it.

I had a small refugium in my 35g sump and the light I was using was...

Fantastic looking Reef ,thanks for sharing.

With the water volume of a 29g it should help a little and any time you can add more rock , water and Cheato it can't hurt.
I would try to keep the water going through the HOB a slow as possible.

Very nice tank at a good price , but if your not well experienced with Reef keeping I would not even think about it.
There is just to much to learn and to great a risk at loosing everything in the...

It sounds like you overflow return box is just to small to handle the volume of water from your pump.

Best option is to have the tank drilled for 1 1/2 return , it has none of the issues that the...

That for sure Coach.
One of the big things for me when I planned out my Reef was to make maintenance as simple as possible , so no matter how lazy I feel I will still do it.
ATO and basement sump...

Larger the return hose the more volume it can handle.
I think 3/4 inch is to small , I use 1 1/2 hose on mine and I still divert some water from the return into my Fuge.

Tim

I have read that it not a good idea to reduce the pumps flow from the return , its harder on the pump.
Redirecting the volume of water is the way to go.

You can branch a line off the return back...

If the pump is draining the sump faster than the tank can drain your water would be overflowing onto the floor from the DT .

Can you post a pic of your sump and Aquarium , maybe we can spot the...
