    Enough flow?

    Using the movement of this beautiful algae I’m working on landscaping , Does this flow look good? It’ll be a softie & LPS tank. I was finally able to do some deep maintenance after some procrastination (and replacing my RODI canister) and I decided to swap out a smaller power head I had in this...

    What to upgrade next?

    Hi all! So I have a 125 long LPS dominated mixed reef that I run on a pretty tight budget. I slowly add corals and upgrade equipment over time and it has been up and running for about a year and a half now. Everything is doing well in the tank, most of the corals are growing, albeit slowly in...

    Clogged drain or too much pump

    I've recently replaced the plumbing on my 135gal. The drain is basically a straight shot on one side and about a 6ft stretch on the other. I want to upgrade the pump to get more flow through the filtration and more flow in the tank. I currently have a jebao 4000. Looking to install a dcq10000 of...

    Anyone with FMK or any of the flow sensors on their tank?

    I've liked to add some flow sensors to my tank. I've had my eye on them for awhile; but the low reviews on BRS have scared me off. Anyone have any experience with these. It seems like the most common complaints it that it restricts flow. One user mentioned his 4700gph pump was only getting...

    Flow tips

    I’ve been having some issues with coral growth and one of the things that people recommend I do was get more flow. I have the Fluval evo 13.5 and I purchased a 256 gph power head but no matter where I placed it it thrashed my corals. So I now just ordered the sicce.5 as a pump and was thinking...

    Dosing Pumps with Reverse Cycle to clear tubes?

    I can't single out a dosing pump that has a reverse functionality and was wondering if anyone could list a few. Size doesn't really matter as long as it can be automated to pull fluid back into the reservoir after pushing it into the aquarium. The idea is that you can auto dose refrigerated...

    Been away awhile back with a question

    My old system has become a mess while I was away the last few months and I decided to set up a new system in my basement. There’s a ton of organics in the substrate (over feeding by my “professional” tank sitter) so I could use a fresh start. I have an 8x4 by 28 inch tall pool I will be using...

    Canister Filter vs Sicce Shark Pro

    Hi all, I currently have a canister filter under my 46 gallons bowfront reef tank. I hate it. While it gets the job done I was always thinking of one day replacing it with a sump. Now I see there is this Sicce Shark Pro submersible filter that looks really cool. Should I go with that or would I...
