    attention any and all euro-reef (or comparable skimmer) owners "middletown"

    Sorry but I never owned a Euro Reef skimmer before but if I were you, I would make the baffle a little on the high side to accommodate future skimmer upgrades (more water). You can always adjust the height of the skimmer by building a platforms. If building a platform, make sure you have enough...

    T5 Lighting - Good, Basic Information

    That is hot. You might need another exhaust fan and find another way to let more air in.

    Vodka Plunge

    I've always had problem with cyno. I started dosing vodka and it never went away. I've even cut back on feeding, but still there. Now I'm dosing Brightwells product. Been doing this for two months and cyno still there. I'm going to give it one more month than I will start VSV.

    Hey Bill, where are all the Tunze, Metal Halides, Calcium Reactor, T5, Carbon dosing and all other HIGH END Stuff to produce and keep a BEAUTIFUL tank like that up and running. You can't fool me......

    Nitrate ?

    Hey Merv why did you stop? There is a thread floating around by Wendy (JerseyWendy) about her friend using only tap water for his reef. His setup is very nice. When I started dosing vodka, I was thinking of using tap water as well. Never had the courage though. Mark if you are going to start...

    Nitrate ?

    Mark, do not use tap water. Just wait. Have you thought about dosing Vodka. You should try it. You can start with 1/2ml-1ml a day and see if your nitrates go down.

    Bored- so I think I'll start a new experiment......

    So Bill, does this mean you are going to break your VHO's and start using T5's ;D Jim, I'm not 100% sure but I don't think dosing any kind of carbon source will eliminate cyno. You will need more flow and more water changes. I'm dosing Brightwell products and I was reaching ULN until I...

    Bored- so I think I'll start a new experiment......

    Hey Merv.... Don't know why you would want to change something that is working for you, but anyway. I took a look at the link you posted and it looks like a good read. I just printed it out but haven't had a chance to read it (need time). Since I have not read the article on TOC, I thought all...

    Things we shouldn't keep - successes and failures.

    I don't think I have anything in my tank that I shouldn't have. I try very hard to stay away from species that are hard to keep. I think we all need to do research on the animal that we would like to keep, instead of buying it cause it looks pretty or its a LE coral. That being said "I'm going...
