Build Thread - Bo's box

I have been away from reef tanks for way too long, I'm starting a small apartment build based off my kids wanting salt again ( Blue Dot Ray from my oldest, and Japanese Dragon Eel from my youngest.) Living situation precludes larger tanks, but I've been having the itch myself so here is the...

Build Thread - .::Not Another 40B Build::.

Well here goes my DIY 40B w/ 20L DIY sump... I’ve been wanting to get into reefing for years, as my older brother has been at it for over 20yrs. The opportunity sprang when we were closing down one of our Fire Stations due to renovations. The tank was drained and left to rot, as nobody wanted...

Tank Crash

Ugh. Woke up this morning to essentially all of my fish dead. I'd love some help identifying what went wrong and how to avoid it, here is the time line: 3/5 used 2 little fishes coral epoxy for roughly 3 frags - not a lot but skimmer did go on the fritz. I left the skimmer on but unplugged the...

Going Fallow

So yesterday sucked. I woke up to all of my fish dead. Still not sure what exactly happened, leading idea is there was not enough oxygen as I was dosing bacteria while skimmer was overflowing due to coral epoxy. It is what it is. I’m trying to make the best of the situation and go fallow for at...

Sump thread

What size sump for a 150 gallon?

So, I am still in the pre-planning stages on my tank, and have narrowed it down to one of two sizes. Either a custom 42x36x18 or a 60x24x24. If i went the route of 42x36x18, in keeping with trying to have as much water volume as possible, I think I would DIY a 40B sump. However, with the...

Build Thread - My DIY/Ghetto/cheap build

You might want to cut the tops off of the bottles slightly below the water line of the sump to allow the sump water to drift over the surface of your DSB bottles, or maybe use the entirety of that milk jug for your removable DSB. giving you a lot more surface area. Also you should make sure any...
