There are as many opinions on sand as there are grains of sand! I have two sandbeds, one 2-3" on a 1 year plus tank and one 3-4" on a 2 year old tank. I have 0 nitrates so they are both working. When the front gets too shabby looking , I vaccum all the way to the bottom and I scrape the coralline.

In reefing hooked and obsessed are synonymous IMHO! ;D Hi, my name is Bill, I'm a reefaholic! When you start the tank, remember to go slow. Try to decide what your focus will be, and I'm sure that some of us will be willing to hook you up with reasonable and sometimes even free frags to get...

Free ReefGadgets for everyone! (Blades are extra) ;D

Sorry I missed your reply! I'll try to get a pic. I do a lugols dip when I acclimate, so maybe that helped.

Sorry top hear about the disaster Steve! You've shared frags with quite a few folks, I'm sure you'll here from them soon! Sorry I don't have any of the stuff you keep, but I've got plenty of Kenya Trees and Anthelia if you want. :D As many disasters as reefers live through, we usually come...

What kinds of coral are you planning on keeping? Do you want varying flow? If you're keeping corals that like more moderate flow, like frogspawns and hammers, look at tunze nano streams and the hydor koralia.

Chris, I did the Melev thing and started the culture with DT's. Kept it up for a few months. I got behind keeping up with it, so I stopped. Matt, (PanMatt) says that eventually one strain, the least beneficial, takes over the culture. I feed real irregular, not sure I see much difference in...

Welcome Wendy! I had a yellow nape named Wally for many years. Doubles are always a challenge IME. Parrots are a thing of the past for me. My wife has grudgingly allowed a cockatiel for my daughter and an adopted parakeet. Although, I don't miss the screams!

I tried the club gel this weekend, nice and thick! I like it. I've used zap gel, locktite gel and crazy glue gel. This is the best yet. Now I have to see how it works with my other hobby, train repairs!

Lookin' good Matt! I'll give you a hand with some more filler soon. ;D

Yep! They are meant to run flat out. There are smaller maxijets and minijets for less flow.

Uh Oh! You just googled, right? That's the newer stuff that I don't know. Got to get back to the stuff they did in the 60's and 70's! 8)

Advice from Jar Jar I would take, not! Uncontrollable is he! The force cannot be controlled with an aquacontroller, they are only on or off. No speed adjustment have they. Therefore recommended for either powerhead, they are not. Only with the more expensive nano streams, will the Tunze multi...

I could win the Open Water quest for the most bizzare thread, if there were one other kindred spirit that could discuss the following topic: FIRESIGN THEATER! Scratchin, drinking and killing zombies pale in comparison. Now that's shoes for industry!

Kids! You need to broaden yourselves! Jack, as in Jack and diet coke. Just for the taste of it! Remy, as in Remy Martin. When I want to be comfortably numb! Sam, as in Sambuca. Usually after a big meal and craving something sweet! Jose as in Jose Cuervo. When I just want to waste away! A...

Something that lifts and separates!

I'll be there?? ??? I'm pretty sure, I had Sunday all covered for a change!

I would just check the TDS. Do the Typhoons have an RO only tap? I would run it until the RO TDS gets down in the single digits. My Kent unit with 2 stages before the membrane gets down to 2 with a Filmtec 75gpd membrane. My tap water runs between 190 and 210. When you hit single digits, kick...

If they saw the new avatar they would ding you for goofing on sumo wrestlers as well! ;D

You may have to do more than blow into the air intake to cleanit out. That is what I was doing, but over time it clogged. Now I pull the strainer assembly off the pump and clean the air intake with a drill bit about once a month. I'm going to try the fishing line mod soon as well. I have mine...
