Going to order a controller ASAP. I have heard a lot of people talk about how they love the ACs but every tank I have actually seen in person minus 1 or 2 has had a reef keeper controller on it. Right now im between the AC 3 or either the Reefkeeper 2 or the elite. Input please
Im looking into a new skimmer right now for my 180. First I always like to oversize things secondly I cant afford a deltec, just cant see myself spending that kind of money on a skimmer. Skimmer will be in sump and must be quiet. For the last few months I was dead set on doing a ASM G4x but have...
What is the best and safest way to clean out a used tank. Nothhing crazy just some dust, some salt residue. Im pretty sure my best bet is white vinegar, but do I just do straight vinegar on a rag or what. Thanks everyone
Some places very with price, the only place on knowing off the top of my head sells just RO water for 50cents a gallon, RO salt water is 99cents a gallon. Dont know if that is a good price or not, just the only advertised price ive seen
everything so far I was dosing with a syringe... Im in the market for a calc reactor right now, asked a few people about dosers and they said dosing with a syringe would be fine ???

Ok well had a little time this morning to remove some rock from the center. Here is what we look like right now... what do you guys think, good/bad let me know.. Also as before the corals arent staying where they are, they are just moved off the rocks to allow for me to move the rock. once Im...
only thing is i will have to figure out what I can cram underneath the 2 rocks making the cave up on top to hold it up since the one rock is sitting on the flat piece
right above the leather right in the middle correct? I wanted to make a valley there also, need to get some smaller peices so its not just drop off from the right side, Thanks~!
Thanks everyone, since the tank is so big I did kind of try to break it up into 3 sections. The corals right now are just kind of thrown in there since I was moving everything around. Im not going to bother placing them out until Im starting to like the way the rocks look. I have a TON of shelf...
Well I have been reaquascaping since about 11this morning. The orginal new plan was to do 1 big center mountain with sloping sides, now it has turned into 2 mountains since Im out of rock. Anyway Im here to look for some advice, I hate the right side of the tank, I cant get anything to look good...
Ill try and search for a the link but I buy a lot of my lenses on ebay. I use Tamron lenses my macro lense was a pretty fair price. Of course its not going to be great for a high end magazine shoot, but I have had numerous pictures blown up pretty big and they are super clear for a high res...
