Just be up front. If the vet isn't ok with that, then get another vet. Most will be fine.

If they ask for documentation (reasonable IMO) I suggest bringing Delbeek/Sprung's "The reef aquarium...

Is this the tank that has the same footprint as a standard 10g but is really tall? (24" or something?) If so, I used to have one of these. I used it just for freshwater. I think the tank was mostly...

I'm local, but I can't swing anything right now as I'm in the midst of a big tank setup (and the small tank is packed to the brim). I wish I could!

However, I'd suggest you crosspost this in the...

How sure are you about this jetcat? I can't imagine you'd post something like this unless you were 100% sure its correct, right?

I've had both. I think the planted was much less trouble to maintain, but I enjoy the reef more.

Don't feel bad, we've all made plenty of mistakes. I know I have, especially when I was just starting out! Let us know how everything turns out.

Go to your vet and try to get IV line. It is thin line with a wheel mechanism to reduce the flow through it. It works BEAUTIFULLY for diy kalk dripping. I don't run these any more, but when I did...

Yes. I use a litermeter for both. But without it, you just drip kalk as normal, and use 2 part to make up for whatever kalk can't handle.

In delbeek/sprung's Reef Aquarium Vol 3 they state that the original Berlin method was NOT barebottom but a shallow bed of crushed coral. It only went barebottom when it came to the US.

Sump size

If I'm pumping 1000gph into an 84x24 footprint with a pair of 1" overflows, how much additional volume beyond the normal water levels do I need in my sump for power outages?
