Hi all,
I have what I believe is a torch, brown body with single green tips that come out of a stony base with 4 branches. While aquascaping, I didn't secure a colony of zooanthids well enough and it landed on top of the torch and bounced off. For the last 2 days its been going down hill and...
My Oceanic Tech 70G also has the same gurgling issue. It has a durso but it looks different from the normal PVC type. It has holes in the in the side of the 90° elbow an air hole at the top and the main drain hole in the other half of the 90° elbow. Loud is not a word for it, sounds like I'm in...
Cool, ok thanks. Since I saw smcooler was a sponsor I signed up for the manhattan reefers swap this Sunday. The hammer is glowing neon green and I think I'll have to move it to a low flow area in my tank. Its BB so I have 75x turnover of 70G.
Here is the tank I'm looking to turn into a reef...
LFS purchase of green hammer coral, bi-color bleeny and 6 line wrasse for $130 good?
Everything is always relative but should I start populating my tank with LFS purchases or should I look at doing frag swaps.
The snail is pretty old.
Yes I will have doors.
Here is the april update. The tank is now setup and doing well. My RO/DI's new 150GPD membrane is kicking butt, I get 2ppm from the membrane and 0ppm out the DI. Filled the tank in about half a day. I have about 90# of live rock in the display...
Hi Phil,
I am going barebottom and would like as much flow as possible, into the sump/refugium according to what I've read. I'll have a DSB and macroalgae for nutrient export. The pump will have 4' of head so the flow wouldn't be at the rated GPH. I could also Tee the return into a phosphate...
Crap, its the mag7 at 70 watts. The MJ mod900 are 8.5 each and the koralia 4 are also 8.5 each, all four put me up at 34 watts. Looks like I'll have to go with the external, possibly the iwaki 20RLTX or the panworld 40PX to keep that heat out.
Hi all,
The new Oceanic Tech 70G is now filled with water and plumbed to the sump. My questions are about heat and noise. I am using a 20G long below the main tank as a sump/refugium. The return is a mag7. One I think it runs too hot and its somewhat loud. More of the noise is from the...

Hi,
I just purchased a 150GPD membrane with the included flush/flow restrictor from air water ice for use with my 5 stage RO/DI system. When I swapped out my old 100GPD membrane and flow restrictor for the new ones, the auto shut-off valve doesn't close the supply line with the filtered side...

One issue I have to solve is heat. With both the Mag7 and the Sedra3500 I don't need a heater in the winters but in the summer... I'll need either big fan or chiller. I can drill the side of the...
Hi All,
I'm somewhat new to reef keeping. I kept a 37G with 17G refugium with 2 fish 2 shrimps, 10 hermit crabs, snails, some Zoo's and Anemone to see If can handle it. 2 years later I think I'm ready to move into keeping a mix reef 70G. I'll be keeping some some old equipment from the 37. The...
I wasn't able to find anyone selling LR, so I just ordered 40# of each Kaelini Tonga Ultra Show Live Rock - Uncured and Premium Fiji UN-Cured Live Rock from Premium Aquatics. Asked for big rox and hoping for the best. I also went to hd to pickup 24G tubs filled with water and salt getting the...
