  1. new sump location

    Good morning all; I was looking for some input for my new tank setup. I have a dirt floor basement which I'm thinking about putting my sump at, it would be on a stand directly under my tank.

  2. all glass overflow

  5. reducing Ph

    does anyone have some suggestions for reducing my Ph, it's 8.9-9.1 comming from my tap water. it's already killed all of my anemones. would a calcium reactor help to keep it down. i don't want to have to keep dumping chemical in the water if i don't have to, but i'm stumped at what to do. obviously more water changes don't help. thanks
