    Love it....

    Chris is the man. I have to say this publicly because people so rarely provide positive feedback. I changed out my sump over a month ago and have been battling a very odd problem with one of my drain lines. I have tried all sorts of things with zero luck but today bounced my problem off of...

    Refugium Bomb

    The last 2 weeks I have been trying to start up my refugium again. The Chaeto has been in there for 2 weeks with a light but doesn't look that good, so I decided to scrap it as it was getting very brown. In doing this the dirt trapped in it and stray pieces got lose and are now blowing all...

    Hydra52 Upgrade....

    Today I upgraded my lights from Sol Blues to Hydra52s, using the AI upgrade kits. I had 4 Sol Blues over my 180 gallon tank but due to the increase spread of the Hydra52 lenses I only upgraded 3 of the lights. The upgrade process on these is really quite simple: Remove old light from...

    Ecotech Vortech Parts....

    Just got back from vacation and the drive shaft on one of my MP40s snapped. Anywhere locally in NJ carry these parts for the wet assembly? I will order it via the ecotech store but if I can grab it locally would rather do that. Thanks

    Not hoping for, but ready for the storm....

    We decided that losing power for more than 4 weeks over the 13 months as a result of storms was too much and just completed a generator installation. The device we chose is a whole home system with an automated transfer switch, so power is back within 20 seconds. The sad part is that for us we...

    BioPellet Refill.....

    So i have been running BioPellets now for about 4 weeks and have noticed the volume in the reactor is lower than when I started, by about 1/4. Should I be looking to refill them back up to the original level or is it fine to wait until its less than half. Just trying to understand people's...

    Lps issues

    My green hammer pulled in about 2 weeks ago and has completely died off. Wouldn't bother me except what ever is wrong seems to be spreading to my wells, peach hammer, and Acan. I have a few frogspawns and some SPS that seem to be unaffected, as well as a carpet anemone. I feed one or two...
