Wow looks really cool man I'd really like to get a salt water tank set up once I move in with my girl and we get stable. I've always liked them and would like some neat looking fish. I really would like a lion fish.

See, that term pedo gets thrown around a lot.
Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

Hey why is your skimmer cup empty, shouldnt it have some shit in it?
Where you have your bio balls, dude once told me he took a bunch of McDonalds straws and cut them in little inch pieces, and it worked.

Thats whats up, im multi posting like a beast, but this shit gets me off. I once deconstructed a filter and filled the whole thing with ceramic rings. I was pushing 540 gph in a 40 gallon tank.
The bitch had flow my son.. and it was silent. I miss that flow sound, hella zen, you know?

There is such a thing as over cleaning... There are certain organisms and bacteria that need semi dirty water. You just gotta find that perfect balance.
The skimmer i have is rated for a 65g and i have a 30g. Granted, i have 10g in my sump and another 5g in my return bucket. Even with that added extra, i still keep the dial on the skimmer on the lower speed.
One thing i do want to work on is sectioning off my skimmer so i can add a sand bed underneath my macro and LR. I have no idea how i will pull this off, without spending any money...

Yeah that's what Im saying, when you have four seperate filters you can cycle the nitrate cleaning one by one and not kill off all your benefical bacteria, but not let them get so funked up that the nitrates start climbing.
What are you picturing with your sand bed? Give me a heads up on what you're picturing and I'll see if I can brainstorm something up. Its tough when I can't physically see your system..
We can get anything done for dirt cheap, I know that much.

I need some acrylic that will sit in between the skimmer and where the sand bed will sit. The only purpose of the separation is keeping the sand from being sucked into the skimmer.
