    Oktoberfest is here

    I am not a huge fan of the pumpkin beers. I can maybe have one, but they are not for me. I had UFO pumpkin on tap on Satruday and while it tasted really good, I could barely get through a pint.

    TanksNStuff's 75G to 120G Upgrade

    Consider it a baptism of your new tank (I left the ato running last night so about 25g on the floor last night so I feel you).

    Oktoberfest is here

    We used to get this is college because it was dirt cheap. Shaefer heavy might be one of the worst things I have ever drank. The shaefer light was passable and good for drinking games, but I will be pretty happy in life if I never have to drink one again.

    Oktoberfest is here

    I have emotional ties to Sam Adams Oktoberfest as it reminds me of watching football. I will have to take a look around and get a few more.

    Questioning AI Vegas and coral coloration

    Are the Vegas just blue, royal blue and white? I went with the hybrid because I think LEDs (my own opinion) by themselves do not offer full coloration like MH or T5. Can you supplement the leds?

    Suggestion for approx 10g ATO reservoir that will fit inside a JBJ 45g tank stand?

    There is a guy on manhattan reefs that builds custom sumps/ato containers for people like you were room is very important. If you can't have something made custom, then yeah smaller containers. +1 to nothing in the ato container, not necessary.

    Clean Glass?

    We use the windex wipes so we are not spraying anything near the tanks. Those and a quick buff with a towel gets it crystal clear.

    The 210 tank build

    Easy answer, 100% without a doubt yes. Our Sps have better color and growth and our LPS looks a lot happier. There was an adjustment time, but we seem to have everything dialed in pretty well now. I liked my last lights a lot, but IMO I just like T5s. Happy to have the best of both worlds.

    Extremely important please read

    Paul yes the ban would include and captive bred clowns as well. Thy are also talking about banning all species of a coral if only one group is in trouble. For example if one type I acropora is banned, they ban all acropora. That includes importation and interstate transfer.

    Best LED's for SPS

    I have the 5 foot 8 bulb fixture and love it. My electric bill did go up but it is hard to judge in the summer time when air conditioning factors in. Also I run my leds at 30% and the T5s at 60%, but you can obviously change that if you are worried about electricity. Geismann is coming out...

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    I have had the Reef Octopus XP5000 external and have had no issues with it. I know havingt the skimmer makes it easier, but something you might want to look into. Glad to hear things are coming along.

    Best LED's for SPS

    Best LED's is like trying to answer the best salt question, there is no right answer and you will get a bunch of them. As jgraz said above, what current LEDs do you have and what was your system like? If your water params are off, I don't care what LEDs you have, you will not be able to keep SPS.
