    Hey all, I have a reef octo 1000 in sump. Its been running great since the start. Yesterday I spent some time with the tank. I had a rusty looking mold/slime over everything in the sump, oddly enough it wasn't present in the main tank. Did a major clean (it cleaned up very easily) and got it...

    Advice for livestock transfer?

    When I entered this hobby 8 months ago I assured my wife that the 40b was a perfect size for our room. Having read for over a year in preparation for the hobby, I assured her that this set up would do us well for many years and there was no fear of expansion or additional expense. This week I'm...

    Killing algae on zoa rocks

    So I have a recurring problem with a small zoanth group (bout 20 polyps on a small rock). Algae kept popping up and I kept trimming and plucking it. Got tired of the continuous effort and let it sit for a week, then an emergency came up and I let it go for another week. By the time I took notice...

    QT procedure

    Hi all, hoping for some advice. I just picked up 2 new mouths to feed and they're in the QT at the moment. Fish were picked up at Tropaquarium and both seem to be visually healthy. They've been in for 3 days now. I dropped a line in RC and the advice I received back involved the tank transfer...

    BAckdated as I've just got my pic posting clearance... So, here’s the 40b I’ve got running atm. Tank is nice but it does not suit the room and the stand is OK at best. With renovations to the house being done, I decided to hit up the tank as well. Here’s some stuff. The new...

    LED opinions?

    I've been looking for affordable and reasonably reliable LEDS for a couple of weeks now. I've read all the posts, seen all the sights, and am now thinking myself in circles overanalyzing everything and in a rut on moving forward. Many of these Chinese based LEDs appear to be exactly the same...

    WTB LEDs in Ocean County

    Hi. About to make the jump to an LED purchase early next week and was wondering if anyone had anything available. I'll be lighting a shallow reef 48x24x12 and was looking at a few of the Chinese makes for the time being due to budget restrictions (I'd like to keep around $400). Looking for at...

    New guy question

    I was going to begin a 500 word TotT post on starting my new set-up, but am being informed... So I removed any curses, leaving me with 27 words and a few pics. I'm guessing I'm unable to post any pics or links to pic-URLs as a new member? Can anyone enlighten me? Cheers, M

    Hi folks

    Mark here. Brick, NJ. Been roaming about in here and at Reefcentral for months, if not a year, while researching and building my first reef tank (40b). Now I'm lurking about a bit more with a transition soon to a Deep Blue 60g shallow reef. Just wanted to introduce myself.
