  1. SO you guys think changing my setup the way I described above will work good? I think I will buy a piece of Plexiglas and slide it between chamber 2 and 3, silicone seal it and have the water flow over it so I can place sand and rock with the algae in chamber 2. Should anything but the skimmer go into chamber one. I think it will flow nice by first hitting the skimmer, then into the fuge, then over to be pumped back into the tank. Tell me your thoughts...... Thanks
  2. My thought after doing more resarch.... Remove the bioballs and filterpads...close off the hole from the secong chamber to the third with plexi glass. Place my protein skimmer in chamber 1 (all the way to the left) Place sand/LR/algea in chamber 2. (Center area) drill holes 3/4 up to flow water into chamber 3 where it will be pumped back to main tank.(Right chamber) Any ideas on a good protein skimmer? Which algea for the fuge? Is this a better setup for running fish/LR/Corals
  3. I have been reading a lot about everyones refrigiums, what they are using them for and putting in them. I recently setup my 90 gallon tank with appx. 110 Lbs of live rock and about a 2" fiji sand bed. Currently as you can see in the picture below the water flows from left to right. It come from the tank into the bio balls and filter pad. The water then runs over the edge into the pool of water below with some live rock, then into a filter pad between the next chamber and my sump, then pumped back into the tank. I am not sure what else I should run in the fuge.. If anyone has suggestions on how to setup the fuge it would be greatly appreciated. I am setting up a protein skimmer this week as well.
  4. I am looking into buying a 75 gallon tank. Can anyone help me decide if the lights on this tank will allow me to grow coral and have a happy tank? Any insight on this setup would be appreciated.

  17. I recently bought a Typhoon III from Air Water and ICE and have used it for maybe 100 gal. My TDS readings are around 40. I am new to the hobby so I was unsure of what the readings should be. After looking around it should be 1-2. Did I do something wrong or could it be defective?
