    led light opinion

    I have 3 of the S026 over a 6x2x30 tank. The lights are great for the price. Very good penetration right to the bottom. I am going to be adding a fourth eventually to get a little better coverage. For a 125 3 would be perfect. I've had them since the day their website went live. No problems and...

    RO/DO Units - how many stages do I want/need?

    I have the AWI Typhoon Extreme III 5 stage, It comes with a "t" before the Di resin for drinking water. I use a 3 1/2 gal holding tank plumbed into the refrigerator. I also added the permeate pump to increase the efficiency as well as the water pressure. Water taste great and the filters last...

    Anyone been to Feng's recently?

    Let us know what you find. I'm off next Saturday and was planning on giving him a call and heading up there. Its a trip for me so I always call first. He hasn't quite been up to speed when I was there last but that was a couple of months ago. He used to be one of my favorite shops.

    Tank not cycling

    You don't say how high your ammonia is, but there is a point where the ammonia is too high to start a cycle. It will start eventually but a water change should help get it to a point where it will get going. I've never used the additives but others have and say it works well. Adding live rock at...

    To Refugium or not, that is the question?

    Same. Phosphates and nitrates are negligible and you very rarely need GFO. I'm always amazed what can grow in there when nothings bothering it.

    Light hanging suggestions

    I used the rails from the track lighting section at lowes. They come in black or white. They are lined with copper strips, which I removed. In the metal stock section you can find metal flat stock about an inch wide that fits perfectly in the track. I then cut the stock into 3 inch sections...

    Pump advice

    I've been using the Ehiem Compact 5000. Super quiet, which was my biggest concern. They have adjustable output and are very efficient.

    Leds

    I upgraded from the Tao-tronics a few months ago to a full spectrum. I bought the s056 from Ocean Revive. They made a big difference in the colors and I am seeing improved growth. I had a yellow toadstool that always looked brownish. Within a week it is a very bright yellow. I went with these...

    Anyone know what this is?

    I bought this at Gregs just before he closed and he said it was kinda rare. I can't remember what its called. Its a very bright florescent green leather. Very slow growing. Any ideas?

    Salinity Aquavitro versus Tropic Marin reef Pro

    I use it. Mix it into cold water slowly and it won't precipitate out. I like that it is very consistent in all parameters and I dose much less than when using other brands.

    Does any body have wp40

    I have one in my 225. Its definitely too much flow for a 75. They do sell it now with a variable power supply which lets you adjust it to a more moderate speed. I've been running it since they first came out and have no complaints. Programmable, quiet and powerful. Time will tell how long they...

    Baking Alkalinity Solution

    My "calcium reactor" is nothing more than a tube with a drip valve on the end. I've been using Prestone Heat and haven't seen any change after switching from the expensive stuff. Thier MDS shows it to be 92% pure. No one else list the contents. I mix 2 cups per gallon. I use A&H in my tipoff...

    Dilemma

    Hi Karen 2 things. One. I noticed you just started posting. Is the tank relatively new? Two. Its a 55 gallon tank. How long did you wait in between adding fish. If your tank just finished cycling it may not have been ready for the additional bio-load of a tang. You might want to test your...

    How many people run a UV

    I run the Coral Twist 36 watt on a 250 DT with a 75 Fuge. I've run with and without it. I know many will disagree but in my experience it makes a big difference on disease in the tank. It doesn't eliminate it but it certainly eases the severity of any outbreaks.
