Rsvp for 3. Is there an agenda, even a rough one? Not sure I can be there all 3 hours.

Thanks for the advice. I hadn’t looked at scrubbers and will check them out. Will have some time before i need to worry about that though

I already asked Cuttle fish and corals and he offered to throw some bio media in one of his sumps for me. Nice guy!

Thats a great idea Krux! That might work with the up21, I will have to check if it, with skimmer, has enough room for bio media as well. I’m doing bare bottom so my thinking is anywhere I can get bio media would be good.

Hello all, for a 75g tank I have the option for a Skimz up21 or 40g breeder tank converted to sump with refugium. I’ve attached my quick sketch on the 40g sump layout. Which would be the better option for a 75g? I’ve also considered redo-ing the 40g sump layout and putting the refugium before the return pump. I have also seen layouts with the skimmer first and others with skimmers after refugium. If you have any input on that, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Things going to well seems like a good problem to have. Thanks for the advice on selection.

If there are any left over, please let me know. Thanks

Amazing!

Great guide Brittany, Thanks. Also, been watching BRS videos, those are helpful. Thanks for the welcome Krux. I didn't mention budget because I DIY much of what I did before so I honestly dont even know what would be a realistic budget. I would ideally have a bigger tank 90g or 120g, as I’m sure most would. Makes sense to be more forgiving, less evaporation, less fluctuations and all. My better half has noted that the 55 is quote “a huge tank” and the nano is a good size, lol. Unfortunately can’t make the next meeting. Saw its on July 20th and have previous obligation, but hopefully the next one.

Hello everyone, I’m getting back into the hobby after a couple decades away. My kids saw some aquariums and showed interest so I am hoping they get to catch the bug. I consider myself newbie since I am learning everything again from scratch. I have been gifted a nano 10g and a larger 55G tank, but might end up setting up a different size. I don’t want to jump quick and will be planning out all of equipment, plumbing, light, etc. Already been looking at all the great posts for inspiration and information. If there are any must view resources, sites, YT, blogs etc, please share. Would be great to review setup, equipment, and maintenance guides that review must haves for tank type, inhabitants, and size. If anyone can point me to that. Thanks again
