Hi all, My stand is 5'Lx2'D. I'm trying to figure out how much LED lighting I'll need to light up the interior of the stand. I'm looking at: https://smile.amazon.com/AIBOO-Counter-Cabinet-Kitchen-Linkable/dp/B073J4MFPX - 3W, equal to 30W halogen (each bar) - 300 lumen per panel ... wondering...

Title says it all: Both have never seen water and were purchased for a tank upgrade that's no longer happening (tank broke). Trigger Systems Sapphire 39 Sump. New from BRS is $530. There is one small scratch on the bottom of the sump (non-water side) from test fitting while the project was...

Hi all, I'm almost ready to prep and pain the inside of my stand and starting thinking about paint color. My current plan is to use one the appliance-epoxy/Killz/RedGard recommendations and paint it white - it always looks so nice and clean and bright with a door-triggered LED. :) That said...

I will update with a few more items as I get a chance to take some more pics. Now that my tank build is complete, I have a few items I no longer need to hold on to. UPDATED 8/28/18 : Bashsea Bio Fuge 24-10-14 Sump - NEVER USED, BRAND NEW with box : $200 picked up in Chicagoland - $235 shipped...

So I am in the process of starting my 40 Breeder with a RS-75 sump and a ES7. I have a Idea im playing with to eventually set up my 60 gallon and plumbing it into the singular sump? Would it be possible? I am going to upgrade the sump to have a refugium and longer as this one has its gripes...

Hey guys, finally getting around to starting my build thread. This is my second build and I regret not doing one of these on my first tank. Ive been in the hobby right at 2 years now. I started off with a 100 gallon drilled tank with a 30 gallon sump. I learned so much in that first year, Ive...

hello, i just installed my new sump trigger sapphire 26. All the plumbing are good and does not leak except for the part where the overflow pipe meets the bulkhead of the trigger sump. It leaks water from the top rim of the bulkhead where you insert the 1” overflow pipe. Do i have to glue it...

Bought this from Elite Aquatics a couple years back, almost to the day. It actually only saw water for maybe six months when I set up a second tank, but then bailed on the build due to a lack of time for two tanks in the house. Comes with a lid for the sock chamber and a water level adjuster...

Hello, reefers! Around Thanksgiving this year, I will be leaving the country for a month, and my biggest fear is imagining what my reef is going to go through. So, I look to the thousands of reefers here for advice on what I can do to prevent the most common mistakes. Since I have been...

I am looking for an aftermarket sump for the RedSea Reefer 625. The one that came with it is nice but not ideal especially for the refugium as it does not seem to "tumble" the Chateo Macro Alge and it seems to die off. Wanted to see what others were using.

Hi all! First 6 month cleaning of the sump. I have a ton of the attached ‘things’ growing in my sump. I’d like to clean and make it look pretty again. Should I clean them all out? Are they good/bad? Leave them. Advice please and thank you in advance!!

I am looking to build a ULM tank at some point that is fully automated and I have come across RODI units being plumbed directly to a sump or ATO within the cabinet to eliminate the need for carrying buckets of water. Redundancy of failsafes to ensure flooding the tank as well as your home does...

SOLD I am upgrading to a larger tank so I’m selling my Red Sea Reefer 450 that is less then 1 year old. I have a custom sump by Elite Aquatics, custom plumbing with a Spears manifold system that can accomodate up to three media canasters. The two aquamax media canisters will be sold with the...
