    bulk gfo from ebay, your opinion?

    Hey, thanks for the feedback. I will check out the sponsors as well. I have been buying the 150 gram size at my LFS and the prices have gone up again. It would be way cheaper to by a gallons worth and be set for a year or more.

    bulk gfo from ebay, your opinion?

    I ran across a seller "reef chili" or "bulk reef supply" that is selling GFO on the cheap. Now when I think about it if a manufacturer keeps the extras out any GFO should be just fine. However,..... that is why I buy name brand GFO. Carbon is touchy I buy phosphate free name brand carbon for my...

    Reef Rock Plants (macro)

    I want to add some plant like things to my reef. I do not want them in the sand bed but in the cracks of the rock work. I want to keep my sand bed open for cleaning. I have a yellow tang and so that rules out some choices. I keep chaeto in my fuge and do not want to go with calupra[sic]. Any...

    What do you think, overfeeding? Overstocked?

    Parameters always measure great. Now and then I get a bit more algae than normal and big water changes fix that right up. I do find that I need to vacume the display every other week to get the detritus out. I just can't seem to get it to melt on its own. I have a couple of fighting conchs in...

    What do you think, overfeeding? Overstocked?

    I run a 20 gallon DSB, fuge, sump, chaeto, below the main tank. It has a couple of rocks for the many pods. There is a 600GPH overflow return. On the side is a 10G tank full of LR that is fed by a 1/4ID tube that is plumbed into my return. It in turn flows back into the 20G thank. It has its own...

    Bermuda Rogue HOB anybody know them?

    I am for a bad ass HOB skimmer. I want a quiet workhorse for a 75. I have a sump but it is my 20G DSB, Chaeto, etc. I will hang the skimmer off of the back of it. The Deltec MC600 is slightly pricy for me. Right now I am thinking of the Bermuda Rogue. Anybody? And please do not quote Luke33 from...

    Shore collecting for my tank

    Looking to hear your experiences. I was kinda thinking of collecting coeopds, arthropods and sand critters from the shore for my tank. Now that the water is 71 I was thinking that it might be an interesting experiment. Has anybody tried this? I know some things will just not work, like molusks...
