Hello everybody,
Looks like I finally found a forum that works! :) I am just getting back into s/w, after a 10-year break. I had a CPR MicroReef that was fun, challenging, but being 6 gallons was quite limiting. I just found a used 60-g "cube" with a built-in lighted refugium (or is it a sump?), stand, for a price I couldn't pass up! So I will be asking lots of questions to get it going.
The store talked me into a pump that, upon closer examination, I found out is a "Pond Pump". Is that ok?
Also I've never set up anything with a return before - don't know where to start. (For example; where do I attach the skimmer? The pump? How does the plumbing all go together?)
I'll leave it there for now. Please let me know if you have any recommendations where to start. I do understand the principles (cycle time, water chemistry, so far) but I think I need a refresher course! :)
Brian
