    What GAC are you using?

    I usually call a couple local reefers, if I don't have enough for the free shipping, and do a mini GB.

    Adding Sand

    I have always used dry substrate, I think the "live" sand is really more wet than "live", and is more expensive. Before I add it, I fill about 1/3 of a 5 gal. bucket, and add enough water to fill to about 2/3's. I then use my hand and dig into it and mix it up to suspend as much of the finer...

    Skimmer Cleaning

    I cleaned my Tunze 9011 every day. Since it was always over half full I really didn't have a choice. I recenlty added a Bubble Magus CS 180 that has an drain line. I ran it in some vinegar/water for about an hour before I put it in service, and it started pulling right away. I wanted to see how...

    Matt's 57g rimless build

    Are you doing a DSB? If so, you might want to avoid any sand sifting critters, i.e. Gobies (Valenciennea), Sea Stars, Sand Dollars, etc. since they will prey on the life forms that keep your DSB healthy. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-09/hcs3/index.php

    Pukani/BRS cooking rock question

    I would take the Pukani, and hose it off, etch it in a solution of water and vinegar 50/50 for a couple days, hose it off again, and place it in a container/tank with freshly made SW, and go through the curing process, checking for PO4. As Brian mentioned lights aren't going to do you any good...

    Window's Update

    It wasn't much of a leap to go from the i5/1TB HD to the i7/2TB HD, although I know I'll never need the added power.

    Window's Update

    I ordered a Dell XPS 8500 last night, with an Intel i7 processor, 8GB RAM, 2TB HD. I'll probably add an additional 8GB of memory at some point, since there are two open slots.

    Tunze 9011 Skimmer

    Hey Todd, I went with something that I could directly attach the output of my BP reactor to, but I had to sacrifice the fuge area of the sump to do it. The Tunze worked fine, but I wanted to get 100% if the BP effluent through the skimmer. I wasn't having any problems, it was more precautionary...
