This is the new cone skimmer from bubble magus. A shop called reef speciality is taking pre orders for them , all though at much elevated prices than expected. Anyone experienced with bubble magus out here ? Nuocean doesnt seem to have any mention about these, but they are on vacation ...

I am not off to a good start. My tank seems to have a small leak in one of the corners and the back panel of my stand seems to have come off loose. Does my tale end right here? :'( :'( Urgent advise required. Here's the leak. I am thinking of siliconing the entire base. Is it worth the effort...

This atricle suggests that an algae trough (perhaps even a refugium ??) with reverse lighting is the best bet at keeping oxygen levels up after lights go out in the main tank. It also refutes the urban myth that skimmers( at least of the sizes that we deploy) help in this regard. Nature - 1 |...

I am looking for a choice of skimmer for my 90G with 29G sump. Here's the choice I have in front of me: 1. MRC MR1 - $125 2. Sump buddy 40 - $150 3. DAS EX1 - $200 I am inclined towards the MRC (yeah I am cheap ;D), but I also have heard good things about it. However...

This is perhaps a weird post in NJRC, but I didnt know where else to turn for help. I registered to RC yesterday, but I can't PM or reply to posts there. I realise perhaps the account is waiting activation, but I have received no email from them either. Any one has any ideas how long it usually...

I am thinking of getting a refractometer off of ebay. There are some that require a mini screw driver for adjustment, and some that use a knob. I am inclined towards the ones with the screw sriver, because if things are jammed, it would be easier to maneuver. Is there any reason to think...

Anyone have any experience with Sedona hoods? http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/237497/product.web. I need a new hood for my 90G and this one comes for $150 including shipping. Is DIY going to be significantly cheaper ? My biggest hands on aquarium project till date has been replacing the...

I just got a 90G, primarily to circumvent fish keeping the constraints that my current 40G invert tank imposes. I was thinking of converting it to a FOWLR with around 50 pound of LR and 1.5" sand bed. I am considering starting off as a FOWLR since I am really undecided about the lighting, and...

I wanted to get some feed back on them, if anyone has seen them in action. They looked to be at a pretty good price point and can be added piecemeal which alleviates the pain to your wallet. Other than that, there's no need for reflectors on them, and ballast are less demanding and half the...

... Nice to know we are in able hands, hope you and I never have to lock horns at the auction site :) ... Edward, could I bug you a bit about acan care? As of now I am feeding them phyto and oyster eggs which they readily devour. I will have my food lab ready soon, where I would grow my own...

Has anyone ever tried to use these for their planted refugiums ? http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-LED-Grow-Light-Equivalent/dp/B002NGKITW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1254889457&sr=8-2

This does not have the usual reefer substrates but does have a "Sand". I have forgotten how much sand I have used on my 40. Can some one verify if the numbers provided are close to real numbers ? http://areamulchandsoils.com/product_calculator.html

Could I keep a couple of upside down jellys in 46G species tank? I am thinking of getting them from reefscavengers. Here's the info from their website: http://reefscavengers.com/upsidedownjelly.html Let me know if anyone has had any experience with these.

I have a 40G fish tank that has close to 50 snails of different types in it and am going to seed my DT and sump with tigger pods and phyto feast today and add macroalgae (sargassm) to both. I am hoping not to require a further clean up crew and am negating the need of keeping the skimmer on...

I saw this and immediately thought of all the aquallama's I knew. Enjoy ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbPDKHXWlLQ ...

I have a 5G acrylic tank that I am going to convert to ATO container. The hood comes with a light, so I was wondering if I could use the setup to culture fresh water rotifers while I am at it. For food source I am thinking of keeping a piece of drift wood with java moss (I have plenty from my...

I am contemplating on getting a lifereef HOB overflow, since their street-cred seems to be the best. http://www.lifereef.com/siphon.html . I contacted them and was told to determine how much flow I should need in my setup. The guy himself remained somewhat non-committal on the matter, perhaps...

I would be leaving for 3 weeks around end September and am sullying my pants thinking of my state my aquarium would be in in that time frame. I was thinking of the following investments: 1. Auto top off 2. 1 dolly for salt water 3. Calcium reactor ?? 4. A controller (temp, pH and lights) 5...

I was looking to buy a couple of probes/monitors to test my water with better precision. While looking at Calcium probes, when I came across the following article. Might be interesting to some, http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-04/rhf/index.php
