    Lets talk rock and aquascaping

    A lot of it is personal choice. We went with a ton of figi branch and mixed in others. Some was cured at our LFS, some we did ourselves. We did not etch any of our rock (for better or for worse) we just made sure it was cured. I have seen arguements for both and they all make sense. If you...

    My first build thread (29g Biocube)

    First off, I might just go buy all those barnacle blennies as we love them, LOL. They would be fine in your tank (1 or 2), they pick a hole in the rock and just hang out, except when food is in the water then they shoot after it like mini torpedoes and then bang right back into the rock. I...

    Mike's Dream Build

    If you have the room, get the XL. Having 31.5 inches front to back is awesome. 22 inches is not a ton of space to do aquascaping and would be less than your cube right now.

    Acclimation questions

    These breeder nets work as well. https://www.google.com/#q=breeder+net I had never used an acclimation box in the past, but now I use it quite a bit. I have used it on all my wrasses and am glad I did. I used it on the macnelli assesors when I introduced them because they were small and I...

    How do you change your water?

    That is him. I never saw the system, but from what I heard it was the easiest water change ever.

    RO/DO Units - how many stages do I want/need?

    How many GPD are you looking to get and what is your incoming TDS? I have the 180GPD spectrapure and it is really nice. Since it is 180GPD is has two RO cartridges and two DI cartridges. Check on the chloramines, my town just went to it not too long ago and it is annoying. A normal carbon...

    How do you change your water?

    There was a member here (no longer in the hobby) that had his water changes done with solenoid valves. He just pressed two buttons, and boom full water change, it was pretty cool. I have the recric tank in my fish room and that is as close as I come. 65g water change in about 10 mins with...

    "If you want to upgrade your tank I want you to upgrade my front porch!"

    So a new media reactor? They are always helpful. Really nice picture of the kid, looks like a very fun helper.

    Jgraz's march to 200DD

    Yeah we were all pretty shocked but it works, and the addition of one mp60 give me flow in the entire tank. I could probably add another pump, or if I went BB I could turn the 60 up, but then I would be worried about my fish.

    Jgraz's march to 200DD

    I think are single overflow runs about maybe 300gph, so hence the down grade.

    Jgraz's march to 200DD

    Sorry for the delay: The under the sink pump is the Liberty Pumps 404 automatic drain pump 1/3hp. Right now the return pump is a blueline 55 and a 45 is running the manifold. Originally we had a 70 on there, but the Elos overflows are rated for such low flow, we took it off. We still have the...

    ELOS owners - question on the overflow

    I understand being distracted in that store, lots of goodies. Ours is in our living room which we spend 99% of the time in our house (outside sleeping) and we have no issues with it.

    PH dropping overnight

    If you have a refugium, turn the lights on the refugium at night, the opposite of your diplay lights. This will help to keep your PH stable over night. If your tank and corals look fine, don't ever worry about it. One of the problems with PH probes is people try to chase the ideal PH and do...
