I live in Point if you want to swing by and look at the AI fixtures, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the fixtures. Coast to Coast builds amazing tanks, so I understand you want to make sure it all looks nice.

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-09/cwru-afa092111.php This was over on RC and I thought it would be nice to post here. This is a good read and really just reinforces what a lot of people already know. Keep this is mind when you are stocking your tank.

That is a really touch choice because all three of those LEDs fixtures are really nice. AI Pros: Great penetration, fully controllable, made in the US for easy customer service, very modular, have been around the longest Cons: Only blue, royal blue and whites, can't really swap out individual...

Happy Birthday Phil, sorry for the late response.

Honestly I have never done it, I don't see a benefit too it but I could be wrong.

It makes sense that you bought the tank at AO's anniversary sale and the sale is this weekend. Looks good, can't wait until you fill it up.

Blowing the season in the 9th could not happen to a better person than Pappelbon.

I meant cut down on phosphates and nitrates not the other two lights. You could turn off your lights for 2 days which would also help. Again, though this does not cut down on your phosphates or nitrates. Have you tested for either recently?

I have two over a 57g which is three feet and it is just fine, depends a lot on coral types and placement of the units.

You really should be doing weekly water changes, that is also adding to your problems. You have an under powered skimmer that is not pulling enough out of the water and too few water changes which is leading to high nitrates and phosphates which is leading to your hair algae problem. Hair...

Looks great Nate, it was nice to meet you at the meeting and to have some young reefers in the club as well.

Generally people are more concerned with them leaching phosphates than silicates. Has your sand gotten stirred up a lot recently?

Looks like a good list and those radios are very tempting (honestly I just want to see a tank with them so if you feel I am pushing you that way it is because:fox: I am). I know cad lights are very pretty tanks, should be nice. When researching the tank just figure out what is going to fit...

You might want to take that dragon wrasse back like now. It will eat your firefish, all your shrimp and probably your jawfish.

Kind of looks like diatoms, are you using RO water and have you changed filters recently? If it is diatoms they are feeding off the silicates in the water. As far as the SPS goes, cut the coral off below where it is white, like well below.

Liveaquaria says it all: It should reside in a 125 gallon or larger aquarium with a 2-4 inch sandy bottom in which it can submerge itself since it sleeps in the sand. It may be kept with fish that are aggressive or larger than it is, but should be housed with more passive fish as a juvenile...

Very nice pics Matt.

I do love all of my vortech but it is like the love a man has for a fine cigar.
