OOPS, Thanks Bob, I forgot that one! Vangvace, I know people have done it for T5's, but I wonder how necessary it is? I haven't run across anybody posting burnt or bleached corals due to T5 change? Anybody experience this? Taz

Guys, I think you may have missed this in his post? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't constant water level pretty important for most if not all in sump skimmers? Most people have auto top off to get around this. I know somebody who has the same skimmer I had and he has no problems with it...

There are two methods that I have heard of. I am no expert and I have never needed to do this, but this is what I remembered reading around here. Method 1 is by cutting a few pieces of screen material that will cover the top of your tank completely. Place them all on the tank and they will...

Sorry to hear that Brian. That was a nice fish. I lost a fish also,I had a carpet surfer myself yesterday morning. Imagine my face when My 4 year old said"look daddy I have a fish" and handed me a cold semi-wet fish that he found on the floor. I didn't even get a chance to wake up! Taz

Just a slight detour to make sure you are informed properly! ;)

Nice fixture! Do they already control the tunze? What about the Koralia pumps, It controls the 12v ones? I have the Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper Elite. Very soon they are releasing the Tunze controller. I sure they follow suit and release a module for the vortechs. I would love to control the 2...

Sorry to nit pick, and I have heard and now reading that it is a great controller, but didn't want to see somebody pick one up and find out that it can't yet. It is really cool how they are on top of it though. Taz

I think you may be mistaken. It can not control vortechs yet, Ecotech just announced and released the developement kit and they need time to test it and work out bugs. Evidentally they are not too far from releasing for full production in the first quarter of 2010 From Reef Builders "Neptune...

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax LOL, I was thinking the same 8)

Call it funny or stupid, but it could be valid concern. I needed a stand for my previous skimmer in my sump so I inverted a five gallon oceanic salt bucket in there. I was a little concerned about the label, but was supposed to be temporary. Well temporary turned into a long time, next thing you...

Patriot you are not the first person that I have heard of when switching to that salt. I do not know the makeup of it, but your case is not new, check around. Sorry to hear about the problem, but glad to hear you are rebounding. Seems like zoos don't like changing to that salt. Daniel on this...

I agree on the Phosban reactor. Move it in. All of mine leaked at one time or another, That's why I upgraded to the Bulk Reef supply dual reactors, There is a night and day difference! Taz

I have done the same in the past. I had a hard time cutting down on free floating particles so I bought it. It has 2 types of insides. One of the inside filters is pleated and takes out the fines in the water, forget the micron. the other one is actually a basket type insert that you could put...

Dave That reading sounds fine, but it is what the RO and DI do with it that really matters with your corals. That is city water where you are right? Anyway here are a few numbers of members in different towns for comparison. It is an old thread I just brought back to life...

LOL, I was just looking for the same info as you posted this. I was just notified 2 hrs ago that my boss is shutting me off. Can't say I blame him since we haven't had work for a year. Looking for a plan for myself at the moment and will probably add Kelly soon after even though she has...

Thanks for having us for the meeting. Nice house you have. The hot food was great. Tank looks good and I like the setup. Took me a while to get my son to understand why you have trees and two little nemos though. Hope the spill wasn't too much, but I doubt it was the first time so I'm sure you...

I personally don't see anything wrong with it, however "THE LAW" will have a big problem with that and I wouldn't want to see the fines when caught! Mine is pumped into the drywell where my laundry water goes during water changes. Any siponing water or skimmer water just gets thrown on the...

John and Phyllis brought their phosphate photometer to the meeting and tested my water for me. Can't thank them enough, Thanks again Phyl and John. I kind of expected a high reading, but almost fell over when I found out the phosphates were 2.3 something. I have to invest in one of those meters...

I like that mini manifold, great idea. I have a oouple of small items myself and was going to tap into the manifold, but never thought to reduce down like that! Taz

Good excuse!
