I have some nice big man made pieces and a few natarual ones. Probably 70lbs worth

Open to what type, looking for a home for my clowns. had luck with rbta or gbta. or carpet. Also looking for chaeto or macroalgae for my new 125 set up.

Hey guys, I finally just set up my 125 reef tank and I am looking into flow options for mixed reef tank. Considering ice cap 3k or jebao cp150 for main flow and maybe another power head near the bottom of the tank behind the rocks. Any experience with the ice cap 3k or the cp150? I am trying to stay under $160 in cost. I have a reef angel controller but may or may not control the pumps if it gets too costly.

Hello, I have a canopy that is too heavy for my tank. Anyone able to rebuild it or to build me a new one? I can stain it just need help fixing current one or building a new one. I live in kyle and work in south Austin. I want it to be easy access for my wife to assist with feeding the fish. i can trade equipment or pay for the help. Thanks and feel free to text me any questions. jeremy - 757-784-7479

Hey guys my canopy is very heavy. How much weight can a 125 with a center brace hold sitting on top of it? i was trying to find a lid stay mechanism for my canopy and after it broke a few I am thinking it’s just to darn heavy for my tank.

I could install filter socks at the fuge intake to remove the dt detritus. Could it work to tee off of main drain - and leave second drain as emergency? Or work by using both drains and no emergency? Even if one drain clogged there would be no flood in either scenario.

Hey guys could I get some help reviewing my sump, refugium design here? Please see attached file. It seems i have a few options. 1- tee of main return to send controlled flow to refugium which would be elevated and gravity fed to sump- skimmer- return. I would still have an emergency drain. 2- tee off return to feed the separate refugium, let it gravity feed to main sump 3 - run both drains and one feeding the refugium would have a valve to control flow. I have retained and painted inside out of my stand so far, painted the back of the tank, ordered all my lights. Just need to finalize the sump design.

Below is what the previous owner sent me if that helps. I am not sure if the previous set up is the best option for me due to the drains being run horizontally and lots of valve control potentially decreasing drain and flow efficiency.

Thanks for the replies. I plan on running the two sumps if possible. One for a refugium, and the other for skimmer, reactors, and the tank return. The tank will be a mixed reef and controlled with a reef angel set up. I have a lot of piping and equipment but am not opposed to purchasing needed plumbing. The sump on the left is sitting on a platform and has two holes for pipes on the right side to drain into sump two on the right. Which sump should be the refugium? Should I send both tank drain pipes to one sump or split them going to seperate sumps with a valve on one drain for the refugium. it looks like the sump on the right was set up for an external return pump. I have a brand new quiet one 5000 pump that I plan on using. is it best to run a seperate pump for a skimmer or tap into the return or drain to feed the skimmer? it looks like the previous owner tried to make some kind of wave maker that connects to some of the return piping. Any idea if that should be utilized? 3rd picture down

Finally have the funds to set my 125 gallon reef tank up. I have the tank pre drilled and a stand with two sumps along with a bunch of miscellaneous equipment from the previous owner. if someone who is very knowledgeable with plumbing and has experience with tank set ups is willing to come over and help that would be amazing. For your troubles I could give you a mr aqua 12g tank or a new 165w Chinese led light. i live in kyle in the hometown kyle neighborhood. Let me know if your interested in assisting.
