    Tank temps?

    If raising the tank temp raises the end number on the high side then you'll need to do something to add cooling to the tank during the light cycle. Adding a fan over the sump that runs with the lights usually helps this.

    Here's my Big Office System

    Re: Here's my 120 It would be best to do with one pump (to reduce your carbon footprint), but we're using 2 (well 3 if you count the recirc pump. Ugh). We have the manifold feeding everything BUT the skimmer. The skimmer feed pump is separate. But the skimmer is fed from combined water in our...

    Fish Selection

    The list looks good as long as it has been established for a good long time. Mandarin's typically need well established tanks since they don't generally feed off of prepared foods.

    Calcium feeding Algae

    For as small as it is, I'm shocked at how much Ca it is taking up. That seems to defy the laws of conservation of Mass. Tom... where are you and what do you think is going on here?! ;D

    How many people here run a NeoZeo/Zeovit based tank?

    Are you using Brightwell now? I've been saying for 3 weeks that we have to stop in. One thing just keeps leading to another. Maybe this weekend... I don't think there's anything other than a little shopping on our agenda (for a change).

    Which Mag Float

    The ReefGadget is the best thing to hit the Mag Float since replaceable covers. I don't clean my tank without one! Alright. So I don't usually clean the tank.
