I use this one on my tank WITH the extra battery.

I believe it is 1500 XS/RS and can be purchased at bestbuy or circuit city for about 300.00. Yes I know it is expensive, but worthwhile.. It keeps my heater and my pump running for over...
Hello there,
Sorry for the delay in responding.. been taking care of a bad back.. In regards to your question here is what I can tell you. It all depends on budget and ability.. If you can hang a light then I suggest the coralife 24" 150w with dual 65w actinics and 2 1 watt moonlights...
Hello there,
Do we have anyone in the group local to Central Jersey that can make sumps or tanks out of acrylic that is not charging two arms and a leg to do it in the club? Anyone? Thanks for any and all information provided.. I appreciate your time..
Since I am guessing on your start date I would wait about a month for a cleanup crew. I never added any fish to my tank until I wanted one. In our tanks even when you add a small fish the ammonia amount that is created over the course of the week is 0. Just don't overstock. I have a goby, a...
Well I see you are off to a good start.. However, your question about nitrates plexes me. I am going to give you the skinny on it.. Not gonna get all technical. So here goes.
You will always have nitrates. Get used to it. I personally run purigen and phosguard 100ml packs in my nano and have...
Hello there,
As per a reading on reefkeeper magazine, they did a test with 8 14k Phoenix MH's for one year. The conclusion was this. Most bulbs are rated for 6000 hours. If you do the math at 10 hours a day ( I only run mine 6 ) it would take 600 days for the bulb to go. However, we are all...
Hello there,
I am looking for a 20k bulb that someone is either not using or about to replace. I just want to see what it looks like over my tank
150w HQI DE 20k
Any bulb will do, except for broken. :D
Thanks!
Hello there,
Even though I have had some recent problems with my CL-150 for my 12 gallon nano.. I love the fact that it does such a great job

I am working out the details of replacement now, but the piece of mind...
I don't think it is too much.. I have a 12 gallon tank and I am pushing 500+GPH in my tank. I think it is just right for just about everything. Acans come from shallow, high light turbid waters so they should be very happy with that amount of flow.. :D
Hello All,
What a night.. Went out to dinner, came home and started to feed the tank.. All of a sudden I hear SHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. I look behind the tank and water is spewing out of the chiller hose.. I am like WTH! I quickly grab the hose that looks like it is going to pop off at any moment...
Two rednecks are out hunting, and as they're walking along they come
upon a huge hole in the ground.
They approach it and are amazed by the size of it.
The first hunter says ' Wow, that's some hole, I can't even see the
bottom, I wonder how deep it is?'
The second hunter says' I don't know...
might you happen to have some photos you have taken under 14k lighting without having to PS it? Just curious... I would like to see them if you have them.

I do have flat areas of my tank.. I was kinda hoping someone had this camera and has used it before. So if anyone has this camera please post some feedback and photos...
Hello there,
Does anyone have any photos taken with this camera or any suggestions about this camera? I am looking for a new camera that will take great photos of my tank under the current 14k lighting. I was told this is a great camera from my neighbor who is a camera buff. Not the best he...
Hello there,
My PH, Nitrites and ammonia are API - I use a Portable pH Pen/Meter, but have it just in case something feels off.
My DKH is TetraTest
My Calcium, Magnesium, Silicate, and Nitrates are Red Sea
My Phosphate is Nutrafin
Maybe not as accurate as Salifert, but we are not running a...
