I am interested in buying something like this. Please let me know if this is safe for water and salt water mix. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/grd/4852263383.html http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Commercial-FG265500GRAY-55-Gallon-without/dp/B005KDB3TE/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1423515713&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=55+gal+drum+brute

Thanks Aaron good to know.

I am researching and looking to buy a return pump for a 36"L x 36"W x 17"H tank. The tank will be on a 36" Cube stand. What do you guys think about the Jebao pumps. There is a 3000 and 9000 model. If any idea on any other product please feel free to let me know. I want it as quiet as possible. Ric

Nice work. Great setup and great job.

WOW Chad, So far it is looking awesome. Love the idea of cabinet shelf style area in garage. Not only clean job inside but outside too. WOW Great great job.

Tanks looking nice.

Sorry to jump into this conversation but how do you bump up the pressure as I also have the same issue. My water pressure seems low. So just a 30 gl tank takes all day for me to fill it. Ric

Clean and sleek. Like it. Will take some to get used to it. But like it.

Yes I need a water tight baffle. I think i will ask Adam from Artfully Acrylic and how much will he charge me for this.

how hard it is to add a third baffle on a sump. if someone can add one how much for it. The only problem the sump is in use but i can always try and take it our for few days.

I love it love it love it. So excited and cannot wait to see the finished product. As you know I am a great fan of your tank. Very clean plumbing job (Awesome) Very clean setup. This tank will be a great TTOM.

Welcome Jake. Nice to see more hobbyist.

Nice setup.

Actually i just check for Reactors and I saw BRS has better prices. Lets see what Quantum can do for us. I don't know if GEO is better brand. New in reactors. Any advice.

I will be in if you do GB with Quantum Reef. I know for sure they can get better deals than BRS. Please keep me posted.

Agree. Both are awesome and been great to me. That reminds me I need to stop by there someday. Its been long time.

Nice. I think i need to do that too. Slowly will get there.

the hair algae does not look like normal hair algae. It looks more like dog hair stuck on the corner with lot of dust and dirt stuck to it. Hope that helps a little. It has dramatically gone down but I can never get rid of it 100%. Lights on and it comes back.

Hello Guys, Steve first i would like to thank you so much for all the great advice and ideas you gave me. Let me get into the issue first. My tank has been running close to two years now. It was fine after the move for few months and since then it has been a challenge to keep the tank healthy. There has been months when everything looked good and I am like finally then I get something from someone and boom i get issues again. Realized but late that does not matter who I get it from I should always quarantine it. I never had one but now I am planning to setup one. The last issue i had was few months ago getting Hair Algae and Red Bubble algae. Since then having very difficulty to get rid of it. Had weeks no lights on as I do not have anything left since I lost everything I had due to Hair Algae. It did reduce a major portion but still not all the way out. When I turn my lights on days later I start seeing algae again. Have done water changes and do not feed a lot as only have 3 fishes so only feed them like once every 3 days. The fishes look very healthy and fat, lol do not know what they have been feeding on. Tried everything and getting tired there. I had an incident few weeks ago and my sump cracked so I had to buy and replace my sump and with that opportunity replaced my plumbing to PVC. Lost my refugium as it was built in to my old sump. Was thinking of setting up a new refugium but the new sump only has two chambers and was wondering how can I keep chaeto in the sump without it getting sucked into my return pump. So i have a that as my new issue too. I got some ideas and will be setting up GFO and see if that helps but if any more solutions please feel free to let me know. Thank you Steve, sorry could not chime in yesterday as by the time got home wife needed help with the baby and that became the priority to get her to sleep. But will try to post pics later tonight if needed and also will try few of the steps suggested in this form.

okay with all the above issues still Baltimore is okay to visit. Awesome. Thanks guys.

So is it any good to visit. I was planning to go and take family this weekend. I don't want to pay and get disappointed. Does it mean DC Aquarium is better to go than Baltimore?
