I use the watts/hour to calculate cost. So for 2200 w/day is about 100 w/hour which equavalent to $15/month for jersey. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

agree to the above. Heater uses the most energy. Light only runs 7 hours a day at peak. So if you run 400 watts average out to 100 watts/day. That translates to $15/month in jersey. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

I second the ato. Tunze is the best. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

too funny. jenkinsons aquarium in point pleasant beach uses NSW but tje water is filtered first. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

This fixture already been discontinued. But I believe at one time a lot of people have it. It's a nice light. Problem is I don't have a hanging kit for it so it's sitting 4 inches from the water surface. I replaced the bulbs now my ice fire enchinata is showing signs of bleaching. If someone...

Stop by Trop they have Lyre tail, Bartlett, Dispar and Ignitus. I think I am going to go with either Bartlett or Ignitus. Both max out at 3 1/2 according to LA. The problem is how to sex them. They're not very small so some already changed or changing to male? The Ignitus are smaller. But the...

Juan - it seems you got it reversed. You want it to skim during the day. And not skim during the night when the corals are in feeding 'mode' Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Thanks for the link. I agree with the no-drip method, especially with fish in a sealed bag in extended peorid of time. Good see a lot of people doing it. It's a trade off of priorities. IMO when the ammonia level in the bag very high and the O2 level very low, getting fish to fresher water is...

Thanks trivan. So I am gonna focus on the anthias for now and maybe get an additional fish :) I see people treat their fish with PraziPro during QT, especially wild fish. Is this recommended? I plan to match SG then only match temperature before dump fish in. I see a few places mentioning...

I am using red sea energy a+b for two weeks now. Not seeing a lot of difference but I will let you know in a month. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Mike - I am thinking adding all fish at one time will reduce the stress from the existing inhabitant attacking the new guys. I am a little concern with the bio too since I will have a newly setup QT with HOB with some sponges I've been keeping in the sump. As for the bleaching. I have 6 bulb t5...

That's a lot of information to digest. Appreciate all your comments. Base on the foxface comment I am not going to get it. I don't care too much for the look and size anyway. The dottybacks seem to be a bad idea. I can remove a few Chromis if it become a problem down the road. With this I want...

Guys I don't want to come across like an arrogant jerk here. I maybe asking the wrong questions but I am here to listen. With that said, can I have both the anthias and Gobies? The occupy different part of the water column. Is it because of the bio load restraint? I have seem some heavily...

If I add all the fish I have now I have 32" full grown. If I remove the chromis it's only 17". Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

So this may looks like a lot but these are smaller fish. First of all I have a 40g sump. Lots of live rocks. Tank has been running for over 6 months. I run GFO/Carbon and Cheato in the sump. The skimmer is a NAC 7. I use a filter sock which I clean when necessary. Nitrate and PO4 are zero. It...

I am thinking about adding some fish to my 75g SPS dominated tank. Sand substrate. The tank just looks empty. Going to add a screen top too. I bought an orange spotted goby it didn't last one night before it jumped. So here's what I have now: Kole Tang Clown pair Six line wrasse 5x Green...

Looks like my wp25's require cleaning every two months. Even when they are not particularly dirty. Otherwise the flow is reduced significantly. Do ecotech and tunze have this problem as well? Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

I feed reef roid primarily and my skimmer is ok. After about 30 minutes the food particles are significantly less. Also I run a filter sock before the skimmer. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Go to a gym for a few months then decide what type of equipment you want to use. I have an elliptical and a treadmill but I am mostly on the treadmill. I use the elliptical every once a while to give my knees a break. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk
