Neato- could you fill in some details on lighting, filtration and circulation gear? Any big crashes/problems in the last three years? Thanks-

[CorbetJackson50]

lights 2x 250 DE 20K Halides
Filtration: DIY HOB fuge with low flow aprox 75gph, modded seaclone 150 skimmer.
Circulation: 2 seio 820's closed loop in the making

Crashes/problems: Pump went out going to HOB fuge. heater was in fuge and temp probe was in tank, fuge always ran warm due to the low flow. Fuge got real hot and tank got down to 72 lost almost all of my SPS and lost all algae in fuge. Other than that i had some ich when i first started the tank.

How the HOB fuge working for you? i was thinking of getting one?

[CorbetJackson50]

love it!

[kar93]

Very good, Because of its size do you have to harvest the algae alot?

[CorbetJackson50]

well the one i built is actually about 40g so it doesnt really hang on the back i had to build a little shelf to support it. So to answer your question not much harvesting about every 4-6 weeks

Do you need an overflow to use the fuge then

[CorbetJackson50]

no i have a mini jet power head that pumps up to it and gravity feeds back down.
