So I been wanting to get an ATO working with my controller. I have a JBJ but for some odd reason it been acting up. I decided to try and turn one of the float switch into a float switch for my controller. I had to GPIO pin to use the built in pulldown resistor to prevent false reading. I...

I am building my own controller with a raspberry pi. My system controls four outlets (which are currently my fug pump, Kessils A150s (2 of them), and my in-tank filter. I also read temp and send alerts. I log data such as maintenance schedule etc.. I just got a fake ATO working and when I...

Controller or no controller? Do you run any type of controller on your tank?

So today I took 3 rocks out and baked them. This should be my last round of baking cause I think I got all the bubble algae. I think the clearmax is helping. Still trying to keep ontop of all of this and once I get the tank looking the way I want I will then start worrying about corals.

agree that a mix would give the best but I love my Kessils lol

@PhillyD where in south jersey are you? I'm near LBI so I do a good amount of driving when looking for corals. Here a list of some shops people have visit with locations -http://www.njreefers.org/threads/lfs-you-shop-at.92818/

LED, T5, Halide, or mix lighting?

I agree both are very nice but I just love the look of a reef tank

Ok here is our second "Poll of the day". Fish only or reef tank?

@art13 sad to see you leave but I totally understand. I got out for like a month or so then jump back in with my 36. I have even thought about breaking the 36 down cause it becoming a pain on the upkeep and I just don't have time but I just have not pulled the trigger yet. If I had room and...

I like a mix reef but I tend to look more to LPS and SPS. I just like the looks of SPS in a tank that is full of them.

Guys, I am going to try something here and hopefully it will take off. I am going to try post a poll a day. Todays's poll Softie - LPS - or SPS corals? When it comes to stocking our tanks with corals everyone has their fav. Do you prefer Softies? LPS? or SPS?

I use water and white vinegar to clean my tanks. I would use about 1gal (maybe 1.5gal of vinegar on that 72g) and let it soak for a hour or so and then wipe it clean. This worked great on my 54 and my 36

if i had a larger tank i would take the tang but no way can i get him in my 36

sorry just got back from the soccer fields; been on them all day lol. First - personally I like the look of sand. I did bare bottom on a 10g tank and I just didn't like it but to each their own. Some say it keeps the tank cleaner but I am not 100% sure of that. Also sand bed help with surface...

I have a 36g with two fish and I feed once a day but might be going to every other day.

so I been sick of looking at my dirty tank. Decided to really tackle it. I took two smaller rocks out which were the worst of the bubble algae. I baked them in acid for over 1 hour and they got nice and clean. They are back in the tank and doing ok so far. Today I took one of my larger...

lets get those pictures in guys
