I run a single 300W on my 100gal + sump.

If you go with two smaller heaters you should run them on a single controller so they both turn on at the same time, otherwise syncing them will be...

Did you take the actual float off the float switch? In which case you likely put it back on the wrong way. If not get a new float switch, they're like $2.

Well said Scott, I don't have a problem discussing the best ways to store or cure rock as some of us already have but obviously there's a better way to do this.

I don't think vendors get neatly...

Nice!

If you want to widen your DOF try focusing a little further in, essentially focusing on the center point of the desired DOF. You can also widen your DOF with a larger f number, try something...

You don't need that much rock, 120lbs is quite a bit for a 90 gallon but of course still doable.

As already mentioned you also don't need to use live rock, my first tanks were setup with almost...

What I find really amusing is how someone will complain about a vendors live rock but then later state they buy used rock and wouldn't buy new rock anyway because it's too expensive. :lol::lol: Now...

Then it's not a shower door is it? It's just glass, perfectly good glass that was never used.

I'm in it mostly for the structure in terms of shape and porosity. The rest is garbage in my mind. High quality base in worth more in my books than actual live rock. Bacteria is free and you don't...
