If you have every wanted to try SPS this is the piece to start with, great color and easy grower. Great piece and great prices, not surprised with the response.

Look like they hit the US this week. A couple of people on RC were showing the pictures. The reason they are so expensive is they are collected around 400 ft deep, so they are rare in shallow waters, but plentiful in deep waters. Rufus and his team have been trying for years to get a big...

Felt generally has smaller holes so it will keep your water cleaner, the problem with that is that they gunk of quicker which means they need to be cleaned and swapped more often. There are proponents of both but mesh seem to be more popular.

Of course they are, they are in this hobby lol.

+1 to what downbeach said, also depends on what temp you want your tank to be. Our system is probably rougly 350 g. We have 3 300 watt heaters (one in the frag tank and two in the sump) which keep the tank around 75 which is where we want it.

Laziness breeds innovation lol. I would not risk it as cycling rock is not that difficult and who knows what sort of residues it might leave on the rock or on the flipside the damage it could do to your dishwasher.

Sounds like a plan. What are the dimensions of the frag tank going to be? What are you going to use as racks? Sounds like you are pretty handy so I would order the extra acrylic and rods and build blue glow style ones, but that is just me.

Sounds like you need more than one, LOL. Besides the actual size of the skimmers, there does not seem to be much difference. They both use the same pump and draw the same lph, so I guess you choose the one that fits in your sump the best?

Hit up ultra corals, I don't think he is too far from you. I am also blanking on the name of the reefer who lived down in south jersey with the amazing SPS tank, he put up a thread on how to diy a sump.

Fruit loops and tubs blue?

I use the Rox carbon and fill it maybe 3/4 of the way, the rowa maybe half.

Th horizontal one in the back, for sale?

I have two mr1 monsters on my 400g system running off a manifold and I am very happy with them. I run carbon and rowa.

That second rock looks like purple hornets or are they black?

Nice pictures.

90% of the time hlle is a nutrition problem. The other ones seem to be stray voltage and carbon not being controlled properly.

All good questions above. Also where are you getting the SPS? What is your alk?

We have used fiji pink in all of our tanks and have been very happy with it.

We run ours through the dishwasher after we feed because of that. I had a long skinny baster for target feeding corals that I did not clean once, went to reuse it and all this junk came out of the baster bulb. Learned my lesson on that one too.

I have some extra 100 degree kicking around from my mazzaras depending on how many you need if you want to give those a shot.
