I have a nice sized A. Florida frag that I got from Stan (smcooler. When I got it, it had great color, especially the red tips. It's been in my non-zeo tank for several weeks and in that time, the red tips have faded. I have pretty good flow in the tank and all the other corals have colored up...
After listening to Phyl's Tips and Tricks for photography on Sunday, I decided to take some pictures last night before the lights went out. Not too bad. A little grainy though.
I posted this question on RC and I'm getting mixed answers. I'm having problems everytime I put some cheato or calurpa in my sump. Whenever I do, it gets over run with algea and cyano and looks just horrible overall. I have a light on it 24/7 and the flow in the fuge section of my sump is great...
Here are some shots I took tonight. Getting crowded. Hopefully the 108g will be running by the spring. Yep, gotta build a new stand and canopy. The good news..anyone looking for a 120g with a custum made cabinet, mine will be for sale soon ;)
This was my first summer having a chiller on my tank. Now that the weather is getting colder and the chiller is no longer needed, what do I need to do? Do I just unplug it? Do I need to empty the water out of it?

I'm thinking about adding a One Spot Foxface to my 120g. I'm looking for thoughts from others if this is a good idea. The current fish stocking is:
Yellow Tang
Hippo Tang
Anthias
Six Line Wrasse
Clowns
Royal Gramma
My tank is 60"Lx26"Hx18"W. I have a 180g waiting in the wings so eventually all...
I want to upgrade my Auto-Top Off system, but I'm not sure of all the parts I need to get it to work the way I want. First thing to note is that the top-off water reservoir will be above the sump so that water can drain into the sump by gravity when needed. How I want the system to work is like...
I added some Calurpa to my sump. I have it on 24/7 lighting. Over the past few days, I'm noticing some detritus build up. Is that normal or should I be doing something to prevent that build up?
Thanks

I switched on the pump to my 120g 2 years ago tomorrow. Just thought I'd post a few pics that I took today. I was using the Zeovit system with limited success. I lost a few SPS to RTN, but a several survived and are doing better. On a better note, all my Hair Algae is gone.

I've decided to add a frag tank to my system. My question is, is it ok to tee the overflow pipe from the frag tank into the overflow pipe from my display tank so I can only have one pipe emptying into my sump. Any disadvantage to doing this?
Thanks
I posted the other day about moving the float switch in my saltwater mixing barrel so I can add more water for a water change. Well today I emptied out the water in the barrel to see how much was in there and how much higher I needed to move the switch to get the volume of water I wanted. As I'm...
I have a fresh salt water mixing barrel that has a Kent Float switch installed. I want to move the switch up higher so I can put more water in the barrel. How can I plug the hole in the barrel where the float switch is currently installed? Is there a plug that can be bought to put there? Do I...
Aside from putting a connection in the Ca reactor column to accept the pH probe, how else could I postion the pH probe to measure the pH of the reactor effluent? If you have pics that would help.
Thanks
I'm looking to get a CoralVue CV-T5FIX4-4 48 in. 4 bulb T5 fixture for a new 55g frag tank. It has individual reflectors and two 54W 10k bulbs and two 54W actinics. Do you think this fixture would be good for SPS in the frag tank? You can see it here...
