Notes on Prefilters Used for Stand-Alone Wet-Dry & Berlin Filter Systems:

Water is fed into wet-dry filters and Berlin reservoirs from a separate "overflow prefilter," which may be built-into the aquarium (called a "reef-ready" aquarium) or purchased as a stand-alone unit which hangs on the back of the aquarium.

Built-in prefilters are the best type, as there are no siphon tubes involved w

Explore garden pond outlets, books and other sources for products and concepts that can be adapted for large aquaria.

Protein skimmers are also highly recommended for big marine systems. In fact, they are so efficient at nutrient export that water quality will benefit immeasurably with two skimmers in operation. The suggestion is to keep two unique styles (venturi, airstone, injection, or aspirated) because different skimmer designs can extract different qualities of skimmate. Alternate or stagger cleaning and

For folks doing whole stores or aquaculture facilities, look into "chop" or cut-off saws and specialized blades (lots of small teeth) for really ripping out multiple cuts.

About Solvents:

PVC is NOT glued together... but actually solvented, melded together by melting... To make a "good joint" between slip to slip fittings (dont solvent thread

Some aquarium manufacturers build tanks with a built-in wet-dry filter inside the tank against the back panel of the aquarium. These integrated filtration systems (IFS) work identically to the hang-on wet-dry filters, but have the advantage of having no siphon tubes or waterfall cups, so the look is cleaner.

Berlin Systems: A simple definition of a Berlin system is a wet-dry filter without the wet-dry chamber. These systems are designed without an

Where to place my Zoa's??
I was wondering how much light most Zoa's need. I am thinking of putting the new frags lower in the tank, right on the sand bed or just a little above. I have a 26" deep tank and I am using 250W MH and pc Actinics for lighting. I h.
