  1. Looks ok to me. The best bet is to let let it run a few months and see if crud builds up anywhere and then adjust them so it clears that area too. You may not be able to without more pumps or just learn where the dead spots are and move the rocks a bit or just clean it out regularly.
  2. I hope you have better luck with the dual chamber brs media unit. I have had one for a while now and its a clogorama I run there gfo in the first and have used alot of diffent kinds of carbon in the other and after a few days the flow starts to slow down then the carbon side gets a rusty brown/orange film in it and even with a okld MJ1200 at max flow nothing will go thu and I have to clean it all. I thought at one point it was the gfo braking up from to much flow but even at the point of it hardly moving the film develops. If I had it to do over again I would get seperate reactors. But I would like to hear how it goes maby its just me . I will probly end up getting another single and just leaving the second chamber empty.
  3. thanks for the info now I have to many things to pick from and will never make up my mind
  4. Thanks copenhagen was the one I was trying to remember out where I live its country or nothing ,
  5. Any recomendations for a store that has modern bedroom furniture other than Ikea lol. Looking for sharp clean lines and simple. thanks
  6. It don't mater what you buy now in 6 months after you get the feel for it your going to change your mind on about everything anyways so get cheep and used stuff where ever you can. Watch the forsale sec for t-5 or metal halie lights that will fit your tank.. Home Depot is your friend
  7. I have a pm redline 175 that I was using on my 110g listed in the forsale section at $150. I upgraded to a bigger skimmer because my tank is getting bigger soon .
  8. well the forsale forum here is an awsome resorce to get started on a budget.
  9. Umm I think you are in the wrong place if you think no one will judge you laugh with you and at you but not for buying a pair of fish you really want. enjoy
  10. I would say if you post your tank size and if its a fowler or reef would help. Me personaly depending on Size I would guess 48" I would look into a used led like the SOL it might not be big enough for 48" though.
  11. you might want to consider renting the tile saw from a box store they are way better to use than the el cheepo ones and you dont have to store a tool you will probly never use again lol. I know I would do that and I own one of the el cheepo home depot saws.
  12. Hey you broke mine by fixing yours lol
  13. Ya I brush my teeth regularly
  14. The water level of the tank is within 1/4 in in the 60 in length of the tank . So the tank is fairly level The high over flow is on the right.I raised the left side of the pipe that crosses the sump an inch and slowed the return a bit and its back to level I'm going to raise the flow back up in the am when I can keep an eye on it I had the sledge out but decided to try it next if the flow don't work
  15. I have an over flow box on each end of the tank with a 1" durso pipe leading to a 3/4 bulkhead drain in the bottom. The 3/4 drains lead to a 1"1/4 pvc pipe that spans accross my sump to join both 3/4 drains . Each end of the 1 1/4 pipe has a 1 1/4 down spout one side dumps into my skimmer the other side SLOWLY drains to my sump. recently one over flow has been filling to the waterline of the tank and the other is still 2-3" from the water line any Ideas why ? and how to fix the problem. I just tried moving 1 end of the 1 1/4 pipe about an inch to see if mabey air is trapped in there after a few hours I am going to lower it back down and lift the other side to see if it changes anything.
  16. also the android app for the apex is very cool to if you get it. They have an Iphone one also but I cant comment on how that works. Now to get the apex working my DIY leds and I can rip out my rkl and change over to the apex for full control The way the RKL works led totaly sucks as far as I am concerned. and I probly should have just got a new light controller but I am a eq junky and thought the apex looked cool lol.
  17. and if you dont have a static ip for your router then go to dyndns.org and you can set up a free account and it will monitor your router so when you isp changes your address it will auto update it so its like you have a static ip its a bit complex to get your apex sending info over the net if you dont know how to do networking and I dont. It took me probly 4-5 hours total to get it all set up,
  18. ya its actualy ez comparted to getting your apex to send info over the internet lol. If you have a static ip setup already just go to reefchat.org make an account then click on extras then sig generator and a side menu will open that says help. It just takes like 10 min for it to reflect any changes you make when you edit your sig. then its simply paste the link to your sig file and there ya go.
  19. Hey I said don't look! just testing my sig
  20. LOL thats not even funny they just did a leap year sale 10% off everything
