Re: Phosban from Goup Buy Questions Do they have a GFO phosguard out there? I checked out the link with the bags displayed, I don't like the brown stuff, you can't see the color change of phosban type PO4 remover. Phosguard is round and heavier too (at least it seems). *I tried foster and...

Prices? Pics?

pacific east aquaculture has some that they describe as Cyano eating snails. Check them out.

Sorry for the delay guys. I'm usually fishing lakes and rivers in Hunterdon county, like south Branch (all areas) for trout and smallmouth, Delaware lake in Delaware NJ (lunker bass program), and the Delaware river above easton for smallomuth. My Sister lives on Sylvan lake in Burlington, so...

You can see a couple of my bass pics in the let's introduce ourselves section.

I bought a 7 weight Fly rod from Cabellas to fish for Steelies in Pulaski NY but i never used it that trip. I meant to use it for largemouth, but I just never get around to using it. I need some good recommendations for bass and trout. Do you tie your own?

Thanks Phil.

Question for seasoned SPS keepers. (I'd like to become one, lol!) If I am correct in saying, the general rule of thumb for SPS is a Min of 5 Watts per gallon. I've seen fast growing beautiful tanks using VHO (4-110 watt = 440 Watts only 4.8 Watts per gallon on a 90Gal), & T-5 (65Watt bulbs...

Thanks Guys. I know I missed the group buy (just picked up some more phosguard this weekend), but Foster and smith has their own brand for half the cost of phosban. Check it out (if you didn't but it in bulk that is), I just advised my sister to pick some up for their new reactor. ;)...

My chemical tests always show Zero. I guess I need to get a Hanna meter of some sort. Any test recommendations? Thanks Phil!

Guys how often do you change your Phosphate media in the reactors? I hear once every two weeks, every other month, once a month... What works for you? Erik

I'm wondering if I can swap my Compacts for T-5 with the same ballest on the Current outer orbit fixture. Can anyone answer this question? I don;t know too muck about Ballest and the bulbs that thy run. The system currently has 2-130Watt compacts, the new T-5s are 54 Watts.

I have(2)130W PCs and 2-150 14k Hqi all from Current USA. Yeah the PCs are at 15 Mos (shame on me). My P04 tests allways show zero so I started using phosguard a few mos ago (ordered my phosban reactor today). Side note: Did you ever set up a new tank? I met you in Parsippany a few mos back.

Hi Guys It's been a wile... Well to begin I started all over. My 90 crashed about two Mos ago due to Power issues for 5 Days (I wasn't around when it happened). So anyway, everything died, even Bristol worms, so I had to cycle the tank again. After draining 1/2 of my water initially and...

8.3 or 8.4 Phyl, if you can believe it, I relied in the P04 chemical tests for the past year... Didn't know any better... Thanks, Erik

I bought this a few mos ago. This picture is about a month old and it's even more pale now. The coralites and body were covered with a fleshy tissue at one point that actually hid them. The feeder polyps vanished too. I almost chucked it out but I noticed the coralites were more exposed and a...

Guys, I set up a 150 (old Koi tank)for my Brother in Law back in late October. The tank is in a wall dividing an office and living area and is viewable from both sides with the liverock in the middle. (the rock is doing well Carlo!) My design consists of 3-250w HQI, 2-160w Super Actinics 72"...

Ok, time for me to get new bulbs then. Erik

Bulbs? Very interesting... I know that it is recommended to change all of them every 12 Mos, (except for t-5?)but I would like to know more about its specific effects in regards to algae. I'm going on 13 Mos with my 130W PCs. Please expound. Thanks, Erik

Looking good. No trace of P04 in that tank... That was a hell of a deal on the Reactor setup! Erik
