Good job!

I cut right through it. I tried finding out the proper way to do it but couldn't find any info on it. I asked the question on ReefCentral but no one was sure (that answered) so I figured what the heck and tried it. Both the bubbles and hammers slim ed really bad after cutting them (expected)...

I'll offer the same as Absinthe. If anyone wants to come by Sunday night (Bordentown) and watch it on the 52" LCD in HD and have a couple of beers the offer is open. Actually I'll setup a recording so any night after Sunday would be fine also. I've also got the IMAX Deep Sea DVD as well as...

Good catch, I forgot all about that.

I've run them both. From what I can see they work about the same and both seem to be fine products. I myself couldn't say one is better then the other. I guess I'd say buy the one that's cheaper. :) Also worth mentioning, purigen is loose and easy to use in a reactor. The Chemipure comes in...

I think you'll get a lot of different answers to this question as there are many "styles" of flow in the tank. I look forward to reading what others are doing so maybe I can pick up a couple of good tips too. To me, my goal is to have enough flow in the tank that detritus and organics are kept...

I've fragged (split) a few bubble corals and hammers. I basically did the same as reneeRN but used a dremel which cuts through corals easily and pretty quickly. Carlo

I'm a volunteer at the aqauarium and do enjoy it. My preference is the Atlanta Aquarium, then Baltimore and then Camden. The Atlanta Aquarium is the largest in the world with 8 million gallons with one tank holding 6 million gallons. They have a 160 thousand gallon reef tank (MAR) which is...

Anyone know of any local fish store near Bordentown? Any store a little further away that I should make a trip to that I previously wouldn't have went to being further down then the Phila area? The closest stores I've found so far is All Aqautics (only a few minutes away) and of course the 3...

I recently had a major loss too of 75-90 corals so I feel your pain. At least for me I know why it happened (electrocusion) and have taken steps to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future. In your case it's worse since you don't know the reason. Are the dead corals bleached white or...

So does All Aquatics in Trenton.

Did you get the tenant to pay for the damages? That should be covered under their renters insurance as "gross negligence" since they did something they shouldn't have (even though it was a kid) that caused destruction. My family has a couple of houses we rent (I've lived in and fixed them up)...

The SCWD is OK but it does rob you of a lot of flow to do the alternating currents.If you like the idea behind the SCWD then check out Ocean Motions devices.Same principle but it uses a motor to do the switching and you can get them with different output returns (ie. 2, 4, 8 ). The Sea Swirl...

John I noticed the exact same thing you mention. I now fill my first chamber to 2/3 and my second chamber to 1/2 and I think it runs better. It does require filling more often but even then it's still a long time between fills. I think you nailed the reason. With less media the recirc pump is...

Keep in mind Phos-Free is designed for pools and spa and small ponds so the instructions for the dose will need a calculator and paper to convert to our small systems. Don't let that scare you however as it works wonders and I've used it on a reef system with $15-20K worth of corals in it with...

In a nut shell you have to much flow for the fuge to handle. You need to lower the flow going through the fuge. The simply fix is to pick up a T or Y splitter as Baxreefs suggested. Then you split the overflow coming from the tank with 1/2 going to the fuge and 1/2 going directly to the sump...

No problem, I just tried to give an overview without getting to technical. If you have any questions after reading it just ask. I know others as well as myself have them and can chime in with advice/help on them.

Yea, I'll love to be at that point! I was just about there before the loss with some of my corals. I think I'll probably buy enough corals to fill maybe 1/4 to 1/3 the tank and do frags for the rest and let them grow out. I'm impulsive so when I see a "must have" coral I typically purchase it...

I've never ran a hex tank so I'm only asking a question. If you have say 2 powerheads would you want to have them pointing at each other to create a current that crashes into each other or would you want to point them say clockwise to create a flow the circulates the tank making it easier for...

I have one. I think I've one of everthing. :) Good or bad depends on what you are trying to do with it. My personal opinion is that it's not a good addition to a reef tank. Let me see if I can explain a little bit about how they work and it might make better sense to you. The idea behind them...
