i think the answer depends on what tank temps you get in the summer. A MH/T5 fixture (like say a maristar) would increase teh amount of heat in the tank - potentially forcing the purchase of a chiller. sorry to hear you are moving away from the led's. Any reason why?

good to hear on the cyano bac front! How did you ever make out btw with the anthias...did they make peace or was it west side story?

repeat after me Google is your friend... ;) ;D :D The Aquarium is located at 55 Coogan Blvd., Mystic, CT.

mavl.....a ZOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo. you should charge people for coming to your place! ;) give me a shout when you want to meet up!

chuck - for full disclosure i've used the technique with astraes, mexican turbo snail, chestnut snail and nerite snails. No issues. calaxa - peace man - you are welcome to your own opinion. I will have to agree to disagree with you.

Chuck - There is another method that can be done with snails - and that would be to hold them above the water line until they affix to the glass, then let them take their sweet time deciding whether to go into the water or not. That stated, you really cannot go wrong with drip and temp...

Group buys are available only to members of the club. The invert buy is closed already.

heard a lot of great things about this skimmer. Set it up and take some pics of skimmate! LOL.

Good to hear you have quarantine set up. Can you list some info to help? what size tank? what is the water parameters - ammonia, nitrate, ph, alkalinity (maybe you could bring a sample to the LFS to test?) The slamming of a fish's body against coral, substrate or glass does sound like an...

Is this approach going against what your avatar tell us? ;) Strictly from a technical point of view you will be decreasing the total volume of the tank. Some would consider that a "downside". Frankly - in my opinion I'd go with whatever fits your schedule/comfort level. As I recall you had a...

My black sand is just getting slammed with diatoms...rusty color. I can't wait for the invert group buy. Your sand on the other hand looks great (beautiful when contrasted with that close up pic of your corals).

cyano indeed. Everyone gets it in some shape or form. Mine comes in the refugium. Not having a skimmer could definitely be a reason why - but the other way to get the nutrients out is to do more regular water changes. It's a pain I know (i don't have a skimmer). The only other solution is to...

people complain that all the nice tanks are in central/south jersey. Well I can for once complain that a NICE big tank is being set up in NORTH jersey. Also - please do not post a sale price on your 180 here. Forum rules. That 180 in the middle - is that one huge orange cap? Looks fantastic.

Scallops should be treated similar to feather dusters and other filter-feeding organisms. Most books will tell you that scallops require a LOT of feeding and that most will not survive 6 months in a tank. (Anyone have one longer?) They survive the 6 months by living off their reserves. Unlike...

congrats!

maybe you have cyano bacteria? Google that and check. It's usually a reflection of the tank (spots where it grows at least) having lower flow. Also are you feeding heavily?

I agree with mark on Ocean Gallery II. Minor quip - I wish they'd stop selling rabbits/guinea pigs though. There are so many of those in shelters waiting for adoption. I think Wil over at Aquatic Obsessions should also be mentioned for kudos. Yes AqOb needs to make a profit (doesn't everyone?)...

whale shark fits the description. oh but might be a tad big for your tank. ;D
