Thanks for the tank comment. I know the larger would work. I was trying to see if I could get away with the smaller/quieter one. Ken

This is the tank. It is up and running but was re-doing the sump and skimmer ans thought I would try this pump since it is lying around. Basically it is between a pump that will do 5.5 and the other doing about 7.2 times per hour. I do have a lot of flow within the tank though with the three...

I am re-doing my sump and pump. How many times tank turnover do I need? I was going to use a Blue Line 20. Using the head loss calculator I would have 5.5 turnover. Is this OK? I also have three Tunze Nano Sreams 6055 in the tank. I also have a Blueline 30 hanging around that I could use if...

I had about 1/2" depth of sand for aesthetics. Did water changes religiously as well as a good skimmer and uses RowaPhos. After a couple of years I got a cyno problem. I increased the water changes, manually cleaned off the rocks, and added a refugium. None of this made a difference until I went...

I got the Gold Flake at Tropiquarium. I get about 90% of my fish from there. I feel good about the quality of their livestock. Ken

Thanks all for the comments. I know they say quarantining is the best thing to do, but I have had success and failures both ways. Ken

Thanks for the comments. The tank is bare bottom now, but for the first 1 1/2 years, it wasn't. It's a long story but suffice it to say that either go bare bottom or make sure that you gravel siphon the sand or you will have "issues" with your tank. My 70 gallon (below) has some sand in the...

I have had the French for about three months. He hasn't touched anything. I bought the fish because it was a beautiful specimen even knowing at the time that my LPS could be (his) dinner. I was willing to take the risk knowing that he wouldn't go after my SPS as these were the only corals that I...

Thanks. This is the tank. The picture isn't too bright as this was before the MH lights come on. <img src="http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad142/ken6217/DSC_1712.jpg"> Ken

Here is a picture of my Gold flake Angel that I have had in my reef tank for almost three. He or she has been a perfect citizen. <img src="http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad142/ken6217/DSC_1717.jpg"> <img src="http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad142/ken6217/DSC_1720.jpg"> Ken

Thanks. Nice meeting you last week. Ken

How do I post pictures here with Photo Bucket. I just got an account and uploaded some pictures. How do I get them to the forum? Also the file size that I took is larger than what I can post. Does Photo Bucket automatically down size them? Thanks, Ken

I'm sure that he did after he read the thread. Being busy for two weeks and ignoring emails is not an excuse. Would you get away with that in your line of work? There is nothing wrong with posting the name of the Vendor. If people want to heep accolades on vendors, then it is only fair to...

Greg/Chad, Thanks for the comments. Best bike I've ever owned. 358 pounds, 175 hp. I love it. Ken

I think I heard that it is not a good idea to use a water softener with a RO unit. The salt hurts the membrane. Ken

Beautiful fish. I got him/her about 2 months ago. It eats pellet as well as frozen. Ken

The best sand it the clear sand that you can't see. Oh yea, that's called no sand. ;D

How does the tank look to you? Are you sure the Ph test kit or probe is correct? Ken
