Looks great. How are the lights working for you? Any other equipment upgrades etc?

A brief warning ... beware the heat that CP bulbs add to your tank. They are not as efficient as T5 lights and they tend to drive me nuts. IF I was running my 24G nano again I would try to Mod it for T5 lighting or LED lights. I really hated the heat obviously.

I think we have a sponsor over towards Trenton too LFS that does pretty nice job, never been there. Check out our sponsors. Good luck with the trip. You could get a couple battery powered air pumps for the trip. Welcome to NJ Reefer and all that. James

Check out Wingo's threads he has some here but posts more in Manhattan. http://aquaprobuilder.sunsun-usa.com/ http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/wingo-led/40645-leds-please-moon-light-moon-light-spy-light-sale.html http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/wingo-led/

It still looks great. There are some fish that eat them right? Maybe your tank needs a new tankmate? ;D

Congrats what you going to do with the 40G sump, fuge, stand alone?

Hello welcome aboard. I had a 24 G AP so know the size fairly well. Live rock is actually all skeletons from corals. Thus you have some long pieces from a particular area. Get rid of all the ceramic and black things. Out out with them. What I did is filled the lower part of the chambers with...

I usually just cut one or two cubes add couple drops of selcon to each one and give them a little cooking under the lights, add a little garlic, basil, and oregano and toss with angel hair ....wait wait up until the last part ;D. and toss them in. I have to admit my fish are pretty fat and...

I have tried to be better safe then sorry. So my shouldn'ts are rather mild. Successes I have two tangs hippo and naso in 120 ... well hippo was my first fish with ick of course but worked hard to get him healthy and ick free before taking out of QT. Would say that the dedication needed for him...

I would try one additive at a time. The bacteria supplement theoretically should help eliminate the algae right as it would make your "bacterial filter" more efficient? Look forward to seeing your results, not that improving is really necessary :).

Cheato is best with a bulb in the 6500-6900 range. I actually use a flood type light. Next flow is good for cheato...so if you just have it in the side and no flow probably not going to grow as well. Little iodine gives it a nice green color, I don't add iron at all, noticed that when I started...

Looks super ... what is the red LPS in front and center?

Mark hang in there try to keep it simple and you will figure it out.

That is what I do too about once a week.

Thanks very much for having us. You really went out of the way for the kids. Ricky had a great time. I think my son is a NJ Reefer. Now he knows what to do. Looks at the tank, wants to go down and check out the basement ::). And then gets a bite to eat and goes and plays. I want to thank...

I agree with everyone...same question too. Nice documentation on the mesh mod.

I think all delivery people hate reefers. I had two sumps broken on delivery. One looked like they had drop kicked it. And it had at lease 10 Fragile on the box. Our group buy deliveries are usually eventful too. And fish/corals forget about it.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Believe me it was really easy...group buy in June is the way to go I am using a Toms Aqualifter....understand that may only last 6 months...so total was less then 100 bucks setup. Next up equipment wise is some sort of controller...which one I...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. It makes life easier for the water changes that is for sure, but the real hassle savings is with ATO. You have that at least. I used to fill a bunch of gallon jugs and 5 gallon jugs and do once a day top offs was a pain!!! Now every 2-3 weeks I...
