yeah, i highly reconmend this piece of equipment. heaters have been know to fail to shut off sometimes, and you could loose your whole tank over a 40 piece of equipment. the ranco will turn the heater at certain temp and turn off when the temp rises to the desired level. if you have a dual...

so far, eh.... the lyretails are out in the open, but the bartletts are not happy about it

my purple tang is like one of michael vicks pit bulls

chiller + heaters + fans + ranco = stability (aka sanity)

anyone? anyone?

only have purple on my glass & rock, but some of my snails have hot pink to dark maroon on their shells, i dont get it either. i never heard of any method to growing specific colors. i am guessing the color of the coraline correlates to the kelvin rating of your bulbs, then again maybe not. some...

after re-reading this thread i realized i should really read all the posts before sticking my 2 cents in. anyway, how does the reefgadget attach to the mag float?

def would not add another tang. really wish i didnt add a purple tang to my 180g. if i could get him out i would. very aggressive towards my yellow tang. both are large fish, but the purple is jet very territorial. how about a couple of anthias? i have bartletts, very good tankmates.

i dont think 74 is too low (close though) and i dont think 80 is too high (also close though) but i think a 6 degree swing each day is a bit much. everyone will have different opinions on this, and i am far from an expert, but i like to keep my tank at about 77. my heater comes on at 76, my fans...

Right now I have 2 Bartlett Anthias in my 180g DT, along with 2 True Percs, 3 Tangs, 1 Scooter Blenny, & 1 Purple Psuedo. I am considering adding 5 Lyretail Anthias, any advice or suggestions for or against adding these guys?

ha! i do. but i wouldnt suggest it either.

easier said then done with an in-wall 180g. hard to reach the bottom of the front glass from behind the tank on a ladder. not to mention that you really cant see the coraline from the back (even with all powerheards & pumps off- no circulation). i have to have my wife direct me where to scrap...

wow you got all that xenia out huh, any suggestions?

anyone know where i can get a mag-float with a razor blade on it? i know someone from this group use to make them. i have a mag float that works great for everything except coraline. (thread highjacking in progress)

very nice! did you glue those zoos to the overflow? what kind of lighting are you using?

what size tank? what other fish are in there?

FTS?!?!?!?!

I have a 55g sump for my 180g DT, but also another 55g Fuge that is plumbed into the same sump. So, yes it is 'do-able'. But I started both at the same time, dont really the best the way to integrate a new tank into an existing system like that.

very nice wendy, where'd you have it done?

yes, love it.
