Each day for the past week, I've been marking how much water is being used by my reef. I took a piece of blue masking tape and applied it vertically on the acrylic reservoir I made. Each day around the same time, I drew a line, marked the day and time it was measured. What I've discovered is that the ATO reservoir holds more ...
I just got my new Oceanic dual overflow 140 gallon. I have been researching and think I'm going to plumb it with the Herbie method. I got a joke of a wet/dry filter with a built in skimmer that I had had thought of maybe taking the bioballs out of and using as a berlin style sump. Otherwise, I will need to get a new sump.

Total cost ~480 If I choose LED I will probably go with a MaxSpect ...

To keep humidity levels down in the fishroom, it's important to have a vent fan that exports moist air out of the home. With my last tank, humidity was a factor but once the vent was installed, a marked improvement occurred. During the remodeling project, I tried to clean up the old fan but it had shorted out, leaving a dead motor in its wake. When the 280g was running, the vent was directly over the tank. I felt that was the perfect spot because it would exhaust heat from the ...
