    Sobo's Fluval Evo

    Interesting. Might want to check your temp, the heat is NOT coming from the light, looks like its from the pump. Ran the tank for 24 hours with light off, registered 83.7F Clowns find their groove. Ive had em in hurricane flow and they do fine. Be more concerned with softies, if they stay...

    Reef-A-Palooza 2017

    This post reads 9am start Saturday. RP site states 11am doors open. I was planning on gettting there about an hour before doors open at 10am. With waking 2 kids, feeding, dropping off at grandparents, etc, that extra hour's time is gold. So is 10am acceptable?

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I was trolling some old posts over at R2R and I found an interesting thread from a number of years ago regarding ceramic media. About 9 or 10 posts in my eyes beheld a paragraph whose prose I instantly recognized, though there was hardly a mention of supermodels anywhere to be found.

    Sobo's Fluval Evo

    Can't see how they market it as reef lighting. I put my water in about 5 hours ago at room temp (77F), heater set at 78F, and its currently 85.6F! I can feel the heat coming off the lamp sitting next to it. May try cutting out the hole for the skimmer and directing a small fan into the innards...

    Sobo's Fluval Evo

    OK, saw one of these tanks and got an amazing deal with a price match. Sitting on my desk now, set up as a frag tank for zoas I cut a media basket to fit the overflow in the first chamber, have a cheato fuge in the top section of the second chamber, some ceramic media in the bottom of the second...

    Q - Do I need to cycle a frag build?

    Here's the scoop. New all in one tank going to be a zoa/paly frag (only) tank. No sand, no live rock. Plastic 'eggcrate' on PVC legs. Biomedia is ceramic, use it in all my tanks, love it - MarinePure Ceramic Biomedia Plate Some of above ceramic will come from an established tank. 5g of water...

    WTB Jebao/Jecod small wavemaker

    Starting a small frag tank with a 13g Fluval Sea Evo. Pump is OK (11x turnover), but considering supplement. Looking for a small used wavemaker, any type as long as it has a random flow control. Jebao-wise looking for a smaller unit (PP-4, TW-10, etc). Lemme know.

    Fluval evo lighting issue

    Just bought that tank today. Will be sure to register it and stay observant. Hopefully Fluval hooked you up with a replacement.

    Wtb 14-28gal biocube

    Hey Dan, They pop up on craigslist fairly often. There's one in Brick right now (28g) for $165, though thats a bit steep for a used one. BTW, you're not the guy selling the ATO/pump that I just sent a message to in Blackwood, are you?

    Sobo's Fluval Evo

    Looking good! Are you dosing manually or relying on water changes for the SPS? Curious as since I broke down the big tanks, and moved to nanos (25g and less), I've been softie only, though I have the lighting to support SPS.

    My 5c. I love this place. Met a bunch of good people. Have received corals and supplies in amounts that I couldn't afford at times due to generosity of members. Have donated a load of corals and supplies to other members. Appreciate all the back office folk do to keep this place up. $12 a year...
