Thanks so much for the advice, I have added the uv sterilizer to the last stage of the sump. I did not want to slow down the return pump so I added a small pump to the sterilizer and am depositing back into the sump before returning to the tank. If this seems to work I will add tubing so it will dump into the tank instead of dumping into the sump. Thanks again Sherri

I am adding a uv sterilizer and am needing some advise please. I purchased a 9 watt, the instruction say nothing about where to install it, except "do not place in water." I tried adding it to the skimmer pump but created too much head and the skimmer did not make skimmate. Suggestions? Greately appreciated.

If you have not found someone to head this up, I will be interested. I am not longer working (layed off) but did this sort of thing when working (Asset Manager). I live near Bastrop in Cedar Creek which may be a problem, but will try to work through them this time. Let me know Sherri

I am back from a visit to Corpus, and brought back some feeder shrimp and bivalves. The first picture is of the bivalves, after putting them in your aquarium or sump they will stir the subtrate and filter the water of nitrates as clams do. The second picture I borrowed from the internet, they are feeder shrimp. I would like to trade these for frags if you have something to trade if not they are free for the taking, but you have to come get them, I live outside of Bastrop, so bring a container.

Sounds like a great place to grow base rock into live rock with a little seeding!
