Bax is right on about ensuring the additional holes are well below the water surface. Otherwise you will draw in some air. Dom

Francis Nice job. And a great idea to drill hole for those corals on plugs!!! Dom

Hi...I have a Yellow and Purple tang as well as a Hippo tang in my 135 reef. The Hippo (by 3 years) and Yellow (by a year) were there first when I added the Purple hoping the size of the tank, its many hiding places, a slight increase in feeding frequency, the presence of a clip with seaweed for...

Bill A truly beautiful display, to say nothing of it (a Soft Coral Tank) being a rarity in this day and age of SPS, SPS Frags and some LPS's kept under massive amounts of lighting. Both are thoroughly enjoyable though there is something very calming about a slowly swaying softies under...

Good idea to rinse before working in the tank/sump and DEFINITELY wash with soap afterward particularly if you felt a pinch or got nicked. Dom

Hi All Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! Dom

Carlo I intend to use the Seachem Matrix. As I recall it was used as the media in a box-type denitrator by Seachem some years ago. Haven't seen them around in recent years. Dom

Thanks John...Glad it's working out for you Dom

John, Phyl Just bought a Coralife 250 and will set up a similar denitrator. Is three (3) pounds of sulfur beads enough to fill the reactor when used with at least 50% matrix media? Carlo Great instructions on how to set one up and calibrate it. Dom

Wendy Truly a beautiful and unusually colorful Derasa...If you're seriously in this or any other hobby, some things become available once in a while that you MUST NEVER say "No" to...that clam is one of them. :) As for insufficient tank space, welcome to the club. :P It's a problem that...

Ralph Looks good with lots of nice corals...For mods, check out mynd's thread in this section. Stephen'd done some nice things with his 12g Aquapod. Dom

Wendy That the fish is eating is a good sign as is the fact that it is not being "picked on" by other fish. Also, being in a reef is helps a lot. A live sand bed in the reef is another plus though I don't recall from other photos if you have one. Dom

Wendy It sure looks like a Bundoon Blenny to me although it is the "Yellowist" one I've ever seen..They are usually paler looking. Dom

Correction....I meant with the exception of Zooanthids, frags of Softies were not popular at the Swaps I attended. Dom

Joe There is an irony here in that the Softies were the first and easiest corals to be kept and propagated by reefkeepers starting in the mid 1980's only to have fallen victim to declining popularity. In Germany, they have all but disappeared from hobbyists tanks in favor of SPS corals and to a...

Damon My advice would be to FIRST decide what form the business would take...S-Chapter Corp, Limited Partnership, etc. To do that you need to know the financial and tax ramifications of each. So, I suggest you talk to an Accountant and once you understand what's involved, hire a Lawyer to...

Thanks Russ..Like Rich T, I want to know which disinfectant to use. Dom

Re: Here's my 120 Bax I would keep the smaller one as a back-up....Given the scope (and expense) of this project, keeping a second chiller (that you already have) hooked up makes sense to me especially if it runs via a second return line (the Dart). Another option weould be to incorporate a...

Nice Job Ralph... Dom

Hi All...Hope this is the right thread for this discussion. I have aa 5-stage RO/DI unit that takes 160+ TDI water down to 0 at the DI outlet. It is stored in a 55 gal. high intensity, UV inhibited water storage tank with a 3/4" drain near the bottom. On average, I use 20-25 gals/week for top...
