    Lighting advice needed 200 gallon tank

    You could run 4 a8se (I prefer x30 blue), be within the $1000 budget, and have the same lighting as 4x radion g6. These knock offs are amazing. The app sucks but for that price who cares.

    Three days blackout

    I’ve done 3 days in older tanks with success. Corals go a little pale but come right back. Before you do this, verify your salinity with other devices/hobbyists. I’ve had cyano thrive in recent nano tank, only to have it disappear in a few days after discovering that my calibrated refractometer...

    Interceptor for white bugs

    Contact Anad from Coral Collectors. He has a product called “debug”. I have a hunch it’s pure milbemycin but whatever, it works and doesn’t have all the crap that the dog chews have in it which essentially is a large carbon dose…. Not to mention no prazi! Prazi seems to be a little hard on the...

    LF Live Rock or Rubble w/ Coraline algae

    I’m not looking to part with rock, but if you want to seed your tank with coraline I’ll siphon out all the coraline chips when I scrap the back wall and sides etc. This tank is 100% Australian live rock so probably good bacteria to be adding anyway. I did this to a buddy’s new tank and he has...

    Really depends size, color, health. You should be able to find a decent frag for $100. Getting a healthy piece for the price is where the value is.

    A note on temp controllers

    You know, I can’t remember. I wired them back in the day but honestly don’t remember what i did. Was back in like 2002-2005. I kept reusing them. The one that I have now is one that i ordered pre wired. I need to order another for a new system that I’m setting up. I’ll post a link when I find it.

    A note on temp controllers

    It was the probe that failed. I ended up getting a new unit for $30 from Amazon. This particular tank is more of a quarantine tank for me so I wanted to keep cost low. Yea Ranco is for refrigeration and all kinds of food industrial uses. Some places sell them aquarium ready, pre-wired with heat...

    A note on temp controllers

    I use an inbird controller on my nano tank and it failed last month, luckily on the low temp end instead on stuck on high temp. I still use the same temp controller as I used 25 years ago on my larger system, Ranco. I never have one fail and I have not found anyone online saying that it failed...

    I really need some help here!! Ich

    Copperbands are picky eaters usually. What is yours eating? They usually go crazy for live blackworms.

    150w halide + Blue Reef brite /RMS bracket Light

    This is a 150w aqua space halide that is mounted to an ecotech rms bracket with added blue reefbrite kit. This is a great light for LPS in something the size of a 60 cube or similar, and a good sps light in something smaller like a 30 cube or similar. Extremely hard to find these days. Comes...

    Ebay Bands sale of coral, fish and other live animals

    eBay sucks for corals anyway. Sucks for the vendors that did business on there.

    Tampa Bay Saltwater?

    Besides Tampa Bay and KP, Marco rock sells live rock as well. I ordered a 20lb package over the summer and it was nice clean rock coraline covered rock with pods and mini stars.

    New coral study in Hawaii

    I hung some special UV dock light in the water in my marina years back. It certainly attracted loads of bass, baitfish, and smaller life.

    I’ve used Tropic Marin’s whole carbon source line. I’m a fan since it doesn’t seem to cause red slime like vodka or Nopox will at times. People run into problems carbon dosing when they by lean on it too much to reduce nutrients, or eventually bottom out nutrients. A small dose as a bacterial...
