    Cannister filters for saltwater

    That wet/dry won't fit. The dimensions I posted earlier is the inside footprint of the cabinet... I already own a Seaclone 100 skimmer that can be used in sump or HOB. I was thinking maybe I can close off the top of a 5 or 10 gallon aquarium, turn it up verically so that the longest part sits...

    Cannister filters for saltwater

    I know I'm probably stressin myself out and I'm intimidated since I've never built anything before. I posted a pic of my tank & stand on page 9 of this thread if you'd like to view it. The wet/dry's dimensions are 16"x8"x12"....I believe 16 is the legnth.

    Cannister filters for saltwater

    I don't have the room to add the 3 chambers I had anticipated on (Intake, a decent area for the refugium, and pump outake). I wasn't "adding" another canister...what happened was that my current one broke down approx 3wks ago and so I've been stressing over trying to keep the fish alive &...

    How about the CPR aquafuge HOB refugium? What if I add some sort of mechanical &chemical filtration media in the first chamber? My cabinet dimensions are: 25" tall(20" height to the back opening for the tubing) x 11"wide x 14"deep. By the way, what is a "center brace" when talking about HOB...

    Cannister filters for saltwater

    OK everyone, I'm excited. I ordered 45 lbs of dry rock from Marco rocks that should be here next week and I'll start aquascaping. I've also added chaeto to my DT. As far as my idea for building a sump, I've realized that my cabinet space is way too small. The only realistic thing I can build is...

    Algae with good parameters

    Do you think if I get a Vortech MP10 wavemaker it could help with the issue? Anyone own one? If so, what are your thoughts/comments? I'm kinda scoping them out right now

    Algae with good parameters

    I have a sandsifting star, tonga snails, & dwarf zebra hemit crabs. For flow I have two 550 Hydor Koralia water pumps angled facing each other diagonally towards the water surface to create small waves

    Algae with good parameters
