I have a Euro Reef (fairly large ES model can't remember exactly) and I'm not overly impressed with the manufacturing quality. The bottom of the skimmer fell off and the intake cracked after a...

If it's a dino-outbreak one thing that won't work is water changes. Lights out will work for a short period of time but you have to determine the cause if possible. Do you have a sandbed? One...

Good luck ;) . The reason I mention it is that I have a 1.5" plumbing with a strainer for my AM3000 and it needs frequent cleaning.

I was considering using a SCWD on my sump return but heard that the loss in flow is substantial. The fellow took them off for sound issues but said they weren't loud enough to bug most people.

Odd that two people can have opposite experiences with the same pumps. My experience has been that the Little Giant pumps are louder and hotter than the Gen X pumps. One of the Little Giant pumps I...

There are so many pump options out there that really it'll come down to you making a decision. I'm really happy with the Gen X Mak 4 pumps I have but I could easily have chose four or five other...

I am using two Gen X Mak 4 pumps and am really happy with them. I personally don't have an issue with the noise and find them quiter than a lot of the pumps I've heard.

Steve, you could e-mail me some if you have them on file.

Jason, I don't know that I'd recommend mail ordering S. gigantea, they're notoriously poor shippers. The one above was only in the store...

Unfortunately, the way I plumbed the skimmer pump won't allow me to put the Ampmaster into use for the skimmer or I would've. I have a 1" bulkhead that feeds the skimmer and without some serious...

Joe, thanks for the information. I'll consider what you've told me.

FWIW, I don't think the AM3000 would be that great on the application. I have one and don't think it would be any better than...

JDG, I was thinking of the 100RLT over the Mak5 because I'd heard the Mak5 sounds like an airplane about to take off. I wish I knew someone with one because the Mak5 is much more readily available...

Hard to say how much but probably 10 silversides per feeding would be a close estimate. It also captures a fair amount of whatever I feed the tank.

I use a Bullet 3 on my 155gal tank. I run it on a Gen X Mak 3 and am tossing around the idea of driving it with a bigger pump. The Mak 3 has just barely enough to power it in my opinion.
