Wow, where to start.. lol I've made a LOT of changes.. I guess I'll start with lighting.. The nanocube 28 led pro is great, but the one issue I have is that it doesn't have any blues in the daylight lamps.. It does have the 2 1w moonlights and the 4 dusk dawns.. but It doesn't help much with...

some people are real scum.. This seems to be common.. just a few weeks ago it was a store in North jersey getting a puppy stolen. NY coral king had someone steal a bunch of high end zoa's that he was acclimating at a swap last winter. It's a real shame.. I'm sure the corals are dead by now.. if...

DO you have the Vega's? If so, how do you like them? I am pretty sure that I will be using them for my big tank down the road.. unless there is a new "next best thing" before I get the tank up. I'm really impressed with the AI lights and the controller. I am really interested in the new...

I get the same thing.. but ONLY in my macro algae tank. I have no corals in that tank at all. I wonder if it's some sort of bactaria.. Does it happen in other tanks you may have had your hands in?

I agree go as big as you can get downstairs.. I am in the planning stages of our upgrade (still waiting on the house to be ready) and I'm going into the basement as well.. I've been thinking 3x 150g stock tanks in series.. Equipment in first, rock pool in 2nd DSB / regugium in 3rd. mainly I want...

Thanks for the corals. It was good seeing you guys again.. We will have to get the wives together so they can co-miserate, and talk Dr. Who / Sci-fi. lol

Thanks, I don't think it needs to be lowered. I only run it at about 40% in reef crest mode so I don't get the air vortex I also have a shield coming so i can raise it a little more. I like the agitation on the top of the water. I have it set to run at about 20% at night. The molly was in my...

So, at some point in the future we will be moving into our new house.. The goal after this move is to build my dream tank.. Top will be a 72x24x24 under is a 40 breeder which will be part sump part display refugium and the 2 sides are 25g cubes. This built is inspired by a friend of mine who...

That was my first thought too.. swim bladder.. I've seen it a few times.. Does it ever swim upright? This is going to sound strange.. but I had an oscar who had a swim bladder issue.. He was old and very well trained, so I tried holding him in my palm (well part of him) and rubbed his belly...

I do dose phyto for a few things I have in there. thanks for the tip though :) Unfortunately I got an email from the place I ordered the christmas tree rock, sea pen (which I am glad didn't come because I changed my mind on that anyway) and the sexy shrimp would not be shipped due to weather...

I'll take one of each.

I use a nova extreme in the front (for color) with 1 actinic one 10000k and in the back (for plant growth) I use 4 CFL 6500k bulbs in a diy fixture that isn't pretty but works and is hidden under the cabinet the tank sits under, and the nova fixture in the front. I will be adding fans to both...

I forget the name of this macro.. but it is really cool too.. it looks like codium but brown and stiff hairs on it. Also my departed mollie in the back. Cleaner I picked up from a member.. loves cleaning the fish, and my hand. All the fish accept his cleaning too.. even the mollie...

Thanks (3 months late, but at least I got it in) So, yea.. I've been neglecting this thread.. LEts see... The domino hosted my orange torch to death (shawn, I need another in your next order!! 2-3 heads would be nice) I banished the domino to my macro algae tank (which has grown to a 20L)...

I really would recommend getting a skimmer going on that tank too. Maybe look into adding a phosban reactor and running GFO as well to bring the phosphates in check. Siphon out the tank taking special care to clean out any dead spots that may have built up, if you notice an area of large buildup...

Is this the one that I was holding for you? That really sucks if it was.. it was so nice and doing well. not sure what the spots are though.

I started out not using RO-di.. I didn't know any better at the time.. I always did fresh and always used treated tap.. I learned pretty quickly that RO-DI was needed when I started getting all sorts of algae growing off everything.. I've been using store bought since then.(un) luckily when my...

I'm most likely going. My wife is going to skip out this time around though.

I think the 12 has a little less intense lighting then my 28 does, but birdsnest grow like weeds for me. I have them up an a ledge about 6 inches under the waterline with my mp10about 3 inches above and 2 inches forwards of them. The back pumps are aimed to shoot over them about 1 inch. I get...
