I live in central California where the temp ranges up to max of 110 or so during the summer. My main concern was the amount of current I will need for my tank. I am planning a few fish and soft corals, perhaps hards when I can afford a MH.

I am stuck in my decision of which pump to buy. I have a $60 gift card from Petsmart and I'd like to use this money for my pump. Petsmart only sells through mag 7 then jumps to mag 12. My dilemma is to get the mag 7 or the 12 and use a gate valve to restrict the flow. Here is the system that I...

I live in Fresno, CA and I was hoping to get some sort of reef society or club going or perhaps find an existing one. Please post or message me if you are interested. Also, are there any reefers in Sac that would want to show me there setup or know of any good LFS? I am going to Sac this...

I am planning a fish and reef tank and I was wondering what fish I should put in the tank? or Invertabrates? I have taken a fancy to the flamming angel and my fiance likes the wrasses but she hasn't picked on out yet. Any suggestion on fish compatability as well as reef compatability?

does anyone else have any concerns with the 700 gph? or perhaps the PH? Remember these PHs are planned for Maxi-jet 900's ~230 gph.

Any suggestions on equipment would be great as well as any comments. Sorry for the drawing, I had to convert the format inorder to post. SCWD idea was given by a fellow poster from reefs.org.

What do you mean by "do it right" this is in terms of the kalk. I was planning on perhaps a kent basic drip system, any suggestions?

I have two 55 watt pcs on the tank now and I was thinking about adding a 175 watt pcs, do you thing that it will be too much for a 28 gallon bow with a 20 gallon fuge? And how badly will this effect my evaporation? Also, any recommendations on kalk??

what about flexible clear tubing for carrying water from the main to the sump? Does HD have this tubing?

Well I just heard back from petsmart, the bow is the only aspect of my tank that is tempered. The other sides of my tank are all annealed glass. Ever heard of it? Can it be drilled?

Dam petsmart, they cannot make up their mind as to if the entire tank is tempered or not. They ar suppose to call be back and let me know. Anyways, I have two specimen boxes coming by mail incase I have to make an overflow box. In the rare case that the back glass is not tempered, where should I...

no, the whole dam thing is tempered. I will have to do a siphon skimmer/overflow. I am also planning on two maxi-jet 900's on a wavemaker. All this with a 20 gallon fuge down below.

I just called the manufacture about my free 28 gallon bow front tank(TopFin) and I found out that it is tempered glass. Should I just go our and buy a new tank or should I just do a overflow with a syphion? I had planned on adding bulkheads but from what I have heard, you can't drill tempered...
