Badly worded. Its set at 40% pulse and has been on that setting for months. I have been opening the unit every few weeks to clean and inspect. Its just a motor hum that started out of nowhere about 2 weeks ago and seems to have gotten a little louder in the past 48 hours. I'll probably drop a...

Hey all. Had my Gyre 130 for a few months now. Maintained well. It hasn't made any invert (or other) kills. I'm sure its a previous blade build. Regardless... a few nights ago I began to hear it from 2 rooms away. It's set on 40% pulse and hasn't changed in months. Starting to drive me nuts as...

I feel ya. I had a rubber mat under a 40b on hardwood. Moved the tank after 6 months and sure enough, there was water damage. A second tank with a solid wood base on the stand gave the same results. Speaking from experience, IMHO, best thing you can do is put the stand direct on the wood and...

Welcome aboard! For a manual test kit I'd go for the Red Sea Reef Foundation Pro. You can also go with Hanna Checkers for alkalinity and phosphate (I've heard their Calcium checker isn't that accurate). Refract go with the Milwaukee MA887. Arguably the best $ I spent on this hobby (you can...

Made me snicker. I've got an anthias that's being a pain with eating. Been in the tank for over a year. Didn't post on RC as I knew the inevitable 'It wasn't quarrantined long enough, should still be in there' or 'Quarantine immediately and souse with antibiotics and chemicals' would come up...

Paul, Timing is everything. A new study released earlier this week showing that gut bacteria ties in with immunodeficiencies. The primary gist of the paper is that analysis of gut bacteria, or lack of, can accurately predict if a child will develop asthma. The speculated treatment? Identify the...

Nope, checked voltage a month or so ago, all within normal limits. Temp had raised a bit over past 2 days when I turned the fans off (expecting it to be cooler out) and hit 79-80, but fans back on this morning and back down to 76-77. Tank was stable when problem began. Water parameters good...

Just an ordinary bicolor anthias. No recent introductions, not really bullied out of the ordinary.

Anthias in tank for 1 year+ and eating anything available. About 7-10 days ago, as far as I can tell, it just stopped eating. Did the normal food for a few days and observed. It would come out at feeding time, but just not participate. Pellet, flake, frozen and live blackworms, fresh clam...

Thanks for those links, will be interesting reading.

Sump complete and tested :) http://vid1328.photobucket.com/albums/w540/Ozone001/IMG_2380_zps3rkqhpzq.mp4

Sending PM now.

Happy with config of gyre130 on side and MP10ES on back wall. Then got to thinking it might be cool to go 2 gyres, 1 horizontal, 1 vertical. So, figured I'd see if anyone wants to make a trade - excellent condition MP10 for excellent condition gyre. Mark

They're in Ocean Township NJ. Just type Tropaquarium & NJ in a search engine and they should show up.

I stopped in Tropaquarium in Ocean last week and they had these Eheim lights on sale for $30. THey had a few varieties, I picked up a daylight/actinic for my fuge. Might be worth calling them to see if they have any left.

So, I'm debating on the positioning of my powerheads for the 90g. I plan on using a Gyre 130 and an MP10. The 90g is a deep blue reef ready with the overflow on the left. I plan on having a 'dual mountain' build. Anyone have anything similar they might comment on? I'm thinking of having the...

I do not disagree with you, and, as per your recommendation, started a small blackworm colony on my kitchen counter. Post a number of complaints from my wife, I moved them into a small tank instead. They are doing wonderfully, though I do believe they are beginning to realize that I am 'The One...

Hey all, My wife and I have been volunteered a few times to host, but it seems to get bumped last minute. We tried last month but were informed there was a meet at ACC, which was fantastic, thanks to all involved and thanks to John and his crew. We were going to try this month and we saw...

I have one of these that you're welcome to. Its thick vinyl. Don't know if it would work or if you could do anything with it. Lemme know. I'd also like to see a pic of the tortise. :)

I put them up on Craigslist for $450, saying that, will sell to a NJR for $400.
