    About Sand

    Some sands are now being treated with anti bacterial treatments, I wouldn't know how to test for it but I would make sure it is just plane old sand and not treated with anything, I personally only use stuff that is specially for aquarium use. I feel it's better to be safe than sorry, so I save a...

    Undecided on MH Bulbs

    Mike, You'll like the 12k it seems to be the best of both worlds just enough blue for the colors and growth is pretty close to running a 10K. I really don't like the 14K it's a little too blue for my taste, growth isn't that great and it seems duller than the 12K (not as bright)Hope that helps...

    Baffles in a Glass Sump

    I use the epdm method, they way I sealed it at the bottom corners is by using the epoxy putty that you use to mount frags. the only thing I had to due on my other sump (40g) was use egg crate to hold the baffles in place I'll post some pic's tonight.

    Pick my calcium reactor!!

    I run the 250's on both my systems, they can be a little bit of a pain to dial in but I am happy with them, my corals and clams are too. Can't beat the price for the reactors that's why I went with them. I couldn't afford to spend $300 + each for a reactor.

When I first got the pool I used to listen to the pool places and spent way too much...

    Swimming Pool ?

    Baking soda wont clear the water, the super shock also raises PH.
