So which mods did you do? I will be modifying my seaclone in a few days. I have an airstone but not sure exactly how far down I need to place it and which type/size works the best. I also will be cutting an inch off the collection cup. Did you do any others? Thanks, Kim

using IP worked for me too.

I got this green slime stuff starting to grow. The red cyano went away. Will the chemi clean work on that if this green stuff gets out of hand?

Jumping in here to ask a few questions. After you QT your fish for approx. 30 days w/hyposalinity do you then go ahead with a FW Dip as well? If you do FW dip how long do you leave them in the FW? Thanks, Kim

Well my tanks is only 2 weeks old and I already have hair algae & cyano! I am glad you guys are telling me it will go away. I use RO/DI water with IO salt. My RO/DI unit is brand new and I have a TDS meter which proves my membranes aren't bad because it reads my water as 0. My lights are on...

Thanks again for your response. In that example you gave me of a closed loop there are no holes drilled. Doing some plumbing like that may be my best bet, although that was some serious plumbing. I am nervous about drilling holes in my tank when I am doubtlful I will be sure where to place...

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions, everyone has been very helpful. Anyone out there that uses closed loops and have pics that would be great. I'd like to see a bunch before I determine where I should even be thinking of putting mine. Thanks, Kim

I must have been tired last night because I re-read some of the FAQ's and I answered some of my own questions. :oops: But I still have questions about the #of holes I would need and how will I know where to place them? Also still wondering about the "whoosh" effect. :D Thanks again!

I thought I understood it but know after thinking about it overnight I am a little unsure. I read the FAQ's and it got me thinking too much! :oops: With a closed loop do you need any powerheads? Do you still use something like a Wavemaster Pro to regulate the circulation? And finally for a...

Funny that you replied because it was your tank pic that got me wondering what they did. I mean I understood it was for circulation but couldn't figure it all out! I guess my next question is if I am getting a tank, should I have a closed loop system in mind and have the back of the tank...

What do closed loops do exactly and why do you need it? And what are the alternatives to setting your tank up that way? Thanks, Kim
