| Re: bilding a 500 gal Hey, I have been looking at the My Reef Creations MR-2R skimmer for my 220. I have read only great reviews for these. (Not just the MR-2R) They are pricey, but are made for industrial work load. You may want to check them out. Google Image Result for http://www.championlighting.com/pics/proskimmerpics/mrc/mr-3rdual.jpg That is the one I am looking at. Hope this helps  Keep us posted on what you decide.

| Re: bilding a 500 gal make sure you carefully setup your aqua scaping.....I learned that aquascaping is one of the most important things in your tank.. are u doing SPS, or LPS? or both If you are going to do sps, make it without a sand bed.... |

| Re: bilding a 500 gal Tank of the Month - December 2007 - Reefkeeping.com This link will explain a bit further.....But the Idea is to have a cloud free envirnment.... I like the sandbed, but the next tank I set up will have the sandbed in the reefgium only.... Without the sandbed, the ditritus can be clean from the bottom of the tank, and it will not land everywhere... I have to say that ditritus is a problem in any reef tank.... ditritus ends up in my sump, and rocks in the show tank.... and I have clean it off the rocks every week... I like to have Clarity in my tank..... |
