This is about the best advice I can give you (camera "lessons" from an experienced photographer who also has a reef tank): http://www.ximinasphotography.com/lessons/index.html I recommend reading the entire list if you have the time, but if you want to go right to your blue LED concerns, I'd...

We did notice there weren't any pretzels though. :p

James, the plug from the VorTech backup supply doesn't go all the way in for mine either. Just push it in until it doesn't go any more. Also, if you test it (by pulling the main power cable out of the controller) the MP-40 should still work, but only at like 30% or something... so the flow...

Nice update Judeo. Wow, I asked to see it fully stocked and that was above and beyond what I was expecting. Looks great!

Thank you Mike and Nikki for being such great hosts again! Food was excellent and the company was even better. Your tank looks awesome and that frag tank is getting overstocked already! Sorry, I meant to post this yesterday but I got tied up with stuff around the house. I took a few pics at...

OK... now Tunze really has some explaining to do. And I know all about cavitation Paul. Well, at least enough to know its not a good thing for a pump.

Paul, since you said you did buy this skimmer used, it's quite possible that the previous owner had replaced the impeller with the "wrong" one. That seems like the most logical explanation to me.

This might be something you could consider using: http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/lumia-5-1-100w-full-spectrum-5-channel-led/ They have a "plant" version (in case you want to go fresh water or perhaps a FOWLER) and a reef version.

As long as your argument to check for is a specific day of the year, the "THEN" part won't do anything unless it is that specific day of the year. So, if you have it -1 on the Fall date and +1 on the Spring date... then you will only have 2 time adjustments per year. You just need to be very...

Paul, I believe that if you understand chemistry, you should have no problems figuring out a simple coding structure/language. Other than the intimidation, it's not really a big deal to figure out. I was no expert either, and the only coding education I ever got was learning BASIC in high...

Congrats on 6 years Jim! That's almost as hard as keeping a wife that long. Hope the skimmer issues and the HA problems get fixed soon.

Sorry Paul, I read your Poll thread before I read this thread with your question. Glad you are self sufficient though.

I use a Reef Angel Controller. I don't believe there is a "daylight savings time" option or anything, but I do know that if you want to get creative with the coding you could easily automate the controller to adjust on it's own. It would be as simple as adding a check in the loop for the...

If your tank looks like your avatar, then I'd say don't mess with it. ;)
