I got a $100 gift certivicate to Eagle Reef Systems for Xmas but by the time I was ready to spend it they closed. I've read that they were going to re open then that they weren't etc. Saw the post on the Sheriff's Sale too. Does anyone know the final word on this? Thanks Lou

Hi Gettanked thanks for the advice. Looks like I'm making progress the algae isn't as bad as it was a week ago and the water has lost most of it's funky smell. I do in fact run flourecent lights along with the halides. The water change schedule you recommend sure does make more sense than mine...

Thanks Bob I guess I could wait - I'll check the group buy schdule for the next PA buy.

Hmmm well that's enough to get a guy thinking.....$420 is a lot to spend on something I might not be satisfied with

Well I'm gonna start saving my pennies for the Vortech. Not sure if I've just bought into the hype or not but the MACNAA vid I saw sold me. I figure one will be enough for my 120 when you add my closed loop and return flow. Might even have to dial it down a notch.

Bob, I'm "down the shore" - Tropiquarium has the turbos in stock pretty much all the time.

Gonna tag along here. I have been tossing around the Koralia vs. Vortech question and am leaning to the one Vortech. Any opinions?

Hey Ralph - sorry for taking so long to say thank you but thank you!! That was my first meeting and it couldn't have been better - even won a mystery montipora frag in the raffle. If you get the chance I would love to have that sausage recipe!! For those of you with cams there are a few pics of...

Thanks Tangdude - I'm running an MSX 200. Seems to be pulling a lot of crud out of the tank I have to empty it every couple of days. I set up a phosban reactor and am running Rowaphos (god that stuff is expensive) and have a bag of Carbon stuff into the filter sock the drain line to my sump too...

My bulbs are brand new - got them in the PA group buy last week. I guess I have been a little lazy about changing filter socks and have been skimming dry. We'll fix that up ASAP.

Thanks to all for the help. I top of with RO Water routed through a Kalk reactor and my halides are on for 8 hrs a day. Went out and got another sea hare today - after I put a filter sponge on intake strainer of course. Hope the turbos and the sea hare get the job done.

I need some help beating a hair algae problem. My tank has been up since February so I know it's not unusual to have issues like this crop up but I want to do what I can to lick this (figuratively of course). I have a 120 with a 55 sump and 65 fuge. The fish and the few easy to keep corals i...

Well at least I answered my own question for a change - Nope they obviously won't work!! LOL

That would be the plan John! Hey do you think the new 12v models will work with the non-koralia wavemaker? Arrrrggghhh probalby not worht taking a chance.

Tahnks Mike - I kinda thought that was the case. Well I guess I need a couple more Koralias then!!

How would I use the Mag Flakes to increase the levels in the tank? Is it something that most people add periodically or is it best to dose it constantly? If that's the case whats the best way to do it?

I hooked up 2 Hydor Koralia 4's to an Ocean Pulse Duo wavemaker on Sunday. Everthing seemed fine until I got home from work yesterday. The Ocean Pulse was switching the current from one Koralia to the other ever 30 seconds as it should have been but neither pump was working. I unplugged the...

Excellent Idea!!!!!!!!!!! and beleive or not my wife does cross stitch and needle point. Wonder if she'll miss a small piece of backing.....?

Thanks to all - I guess it's an unavoidable downside to a great hobby. I do like the Eductors though. I've been thinking about covering the killer holes with a mesh of some sort - maybe so of the wife's old pantyhose. I'm sure it would clog over time but it also be very simple to replace and I...

We had a BBQ on Sunday. I was in the yard with friends and my 13 yr old came out and said "there is some bad news". My Orange Spotted Rabbit Fish lost a battle with an eductor. Found him stuck headfirst in one of the holes that suck in extra water to increse the flow. My best guess is that he...
