Looks good. I would modify that SCWD. My modded SCWD is rockin! (Thanks to Rick)

[onad75]

thanks dave, actually i just took that SCWD out yesterday, I am not getting any flow with the scwd so i decided to just take it out coz im only using Sen 500 for return pump.

[nanoreefbro]

Hey Ron, I want to do something like that with my 50 gal..I want to get rid of that swcd.. I cleaned out the overflow yesterday.. Had all kinds of stuff clogged in there..

[onad75]

not a problem bro.. we might need to clean your return pump as well to get rid of that micro bubbles.

Dave what did you do to modify it? I have a SCWD as well on a 50 gal..

[nanoreefbro]

not a problem bro.. we might need to clean your return pump as well to get rid of that micro bubbles.

Well since I cleaned out the overflow yesterday it seems to have helped.. When I go home tonight I will check again.. I also did what you said and got most of those algae bubbles out when I did a water change. When I did that the Emerald crabs were out like crazy.. :D

Ron what kind of bulb are you using for your refugium??

[cagirly2006]

that is a huge toadstool leather, we had one and it was attached to 2 rocks so we fragged it and now they are finally back to normal and looking bigger...about the same roundness as a baseball. I cant wait until they get that big! how long did it take?

my clowns try to host mine too...

[onad75]

Ron what kind of bulb are you using for your refugium??
the one at Home Depot,

[onad75]

Its about 7-8" when fully open, I have this leather for about 3 yrs now and i frag it so many times,

[Radiant-Reef]

Wow nice tank Onad..

Is it just me that thinks its wrong that he's got a bunch of fishing poles next to his tank in those pics :)
