He is not on all the time FYI.

I would say you stirred up some food that made them hungry. ;D My LPS does that more the SPS but same idea.

How about a blue chromis, or you could risk a blue linkia starfish, blue spiny lobster, blue urchin, or a cleaner goby is also blueish.

Yeah I know mention him all the time. But he gave me great service and good prices. So since they are not as well known I put it out there.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Yes it seems to like it there. I think it was a little darker when I got it, I guess it was probably under MH. Growth has been good and looks happy. Thanks Bill, my one hammer is doing well enough to remind me of your tank. I am hoping the rest...

The ones that you can control yes I would think so. But that is getting pretty expensive. And honestly they are not small powerheads. So 4 will take up 4 times the room in your tank as the Vortech. If you I use MJ900 like I said on wave makers for my "cheap" alternative to the Vortechs....the...

I would think so, honestly the Vortechs have stayed out of my price range, so let proud owner of some answer that for you.

Well what I have on my 120 is 2 Koralia 4s, 2 MJ900 on wave maker, and a Mag 12 return. The MJ900 are slightly less GPH then the 1200 but use less energy that is why I use them FYI. The Koralia are good sized but are energy efficient and reasonably priced and quality. The Mag 12 I have actually...

I think it is a very valid point.  They sell us "live sand", bacteria in bottles(not as stylish as yours), live rock, ect.  What your doing is an inexpensive natural way to do the same thing.  I do believe I am going to try the same thing.  Plus if it works then I can say my DSB worked.  ;D I...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Well took me an extra week.  So everything is knock on wood going well.  Had a small feeder pump issue.  Guess I needed to clean it cuz it stalled.  Have had a bit of brownish algae...could be different food or the skimmer being on the fritz for...

Very interesting thanks for sharing. I am a Mod here? :-X I guess I am. ;D

I have a Mag 12 for me it has been reliable. You will take up a lot of room with the two Mag 9.5. Think the dimensions are the same of the top of my head 7x5x4 or something like that. So heat, space, energy....better to get one pump. I am not familiar with external pumps but basically you plumb...

Amen to that brother. I cannot believe the amount of time I wasted before. I am not sure I want my tank running lights during the night but moving the lighting cycle a bit later makes some sense and perhaps some cash savings. I have split off my TLF reactor from my return already so that keeps...

Only if you are using CO2.

You have it figured pretty well in my opinion.

Great group of little fishes, certainly a group that "follows the rules too".

I read TFH ... NJ company too..buy local and all that jazz..they are pretty nice too. However I also have a fresh water tank and run a small outdoor water barrel in the summer. I suppose no matter what some fish husbandry carries over from fresh to salt.

Yes, I am sure they are all made in China in one plant, I guess I was thinking that perhaps the Octopus brand would be more reliable.  Plus getting them through PA is a bonus.

I am looking for a good feed pump for my skimmer to replace the cheaper one that it came with. The main pump is a beast but the feeder pump stalled on me. >:( I could also put on a second skimmer sort of pump(needle wheel) but want to keep the power usage down as much as possible.
