Love the bottle in the reef tank .... So you went for the Australian look eh ?? ;D. I also turn my pumps off for one hour, about an hour after lights out. Not for looking at the fishes, but for the corals to acclimitise to the time of feeding.

You are best off asking the seller that question: The advertised Par value looks good, more close to a 250W MH. Also find out from him about warranty information.

Not for my 90G you can't. The quotes I got from him are in the vicinity of $1000. I would anyday prefer a local supplier for this experimental technology. However, for Wingo I am afraid I have to stop buying corals till next summer.... not happening ;D. He is a good guy to deal with and talk to...

Other player's are aggressively trying to fill the vacuum. However, this is a market with very little precedence and things are a bit up in the air. The big issue is that they are usually pricey, but some of the new products are pretty competitively priced. I am doing a research on off the...

My reason to concentrate on the skimmer gunk was to find out if microorganisms are being mashed to a pulp by our champion skimmers. I have a sneaky feeling that the needlewheels and pinwheels of our skimmers are more damaging in this aspect when compared to the propeller shaped impalers of our...

... I was actually interested in learning some basic wood work, but wanted to attend some sort of crash course/workshop before I started handling a power saw ;D. Would you be able to recommend me one? I have been in conversation with some of the guys who sell LED arrays (one of them being...

Would you know if the tubes involve any of optics? I found this array, which seems to use some sort of optics on them...

Thanks a lot for taking the pictures mfisher. The light does look very bright. If I can get my hands on a PAR meter I promise to take the hike and check out the reaings. Even if I can have SPS on the top half of the tank, it would be worth it. Thanks again for the shots.

Tazmanian Cowboy, Do you have fish in your tank yet? If not, seed the display tank with Harpacticoid copepods. These guys would munch away bacteria and stay fast on glass and rock (won't get sucked in pumps/powerheads) so the population would only increase in the absence of natural predators...

Did you consider this: http://cgi.ebay.com/36-Aquarium-Light-T5-HO-8X-39-bulbs-Reef-NEW-bulbs_W0QQitemZ280336340501QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4145591615 My current fixture is one from ebay and so far my house hasn't caught fire :P. They also seller also sells 6 bulb...

Bubble Magus NAC7 .... I think I would just wait for this one to be converted to 110V by the studs at Brooklyn, NY ;D. Its a cone skimmer rated for 130 to 180 gallons and is priced at $120 ;D ;D ;D... If they are any good, they are going to make the competition go maaad ...

This is absolutely freaky man!!! .... I just read up about the Bubble Maguses from somewhere else and was about to ask people of their opinions. If not anything they sure are colourful ;D. Any user's of bubble maguses here? They get made in Brooklyn, so should be easy enough to get them serviced.

Rafal, Let me know when the lights come in. Would like to see them in action.

No .. it is a bug in RC. I had the same problem. I could reply to FS forums and send PMs the very first day. (But only after I changed my email address). In your case maybe the noticed the problem and rectified it.

1: Aeration does not mean use of a skimmer. The prime gas exchange happens from the water surface. The only way airstones aid is to make the surface turbulent and increasing the water surface. A sump with its many baffles also achieves the same thing. 2: Running refugium/algae trap in a...

... a link of the mentioned article pretty please. I am a glowing example of nanos (40G) without the contraption. Here is an RC discussion regarding skimmerless systems: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15886950&posted=1#post15886950 My post is number 72 where I explain my...

This atricle suggests that an algae trough (perhaps even a refugium ??) with reverse lighting is the best bet at keeping oxygen levels up after lights go out in the main tank. It also refutes the urban myth that skimmers( at least of the sizes that we deploy) help in this regard. Nature - 1 |...

I am looking for a choice of skimmer for my 90G with 29G sump. Here's the choice I have in front of me: 1. MRC MR1 - $125 2. Sump buddy 40 - $150 3. DAS EX1 - $200 I am inclined towards the MRC (yeah I am cheap ;D), but I also have heard good things about it. However...

I am using gmail. ... Then the wierdest thing happened. I my email to my office mail, where they could succesfully contact me and I got my activation done. I think there is a bug in their systems, where the first email entered doesnt work. youpey seems to have a similar experience. Thanks for...

This is perhaps a weird post in NJRC, but I didnt know where else to turn for help. I registered to RC yesterday, but I can't PM or reply to posts there. I realise perhaps the account is waiting activation, but I have received no email from them either. Any one has any ideas how long it usually...
