The acclimation should depend on what type of lights you had previously. If you had MH lights before, you could probably start out higher, but I was coming from a 4-bulb T5 fixture so I started out with Blues and Whites both at 50% (recommended). If you're coming from no lights at all... I'd...

OK, I'm bringing a few frags with me to the Party. If anyone has had losses due to Hurricane Sandy and would like to claim a frag or two, please contact me via PM and request what you want. Whatever doesn't get claimed will be donated to the raffles at the meeting... so one way or another I'm...

Arnie, that does sound like a good idea. The only problem is, there really aren't any stores "down south" that we can get to do a group buy (for fish). About the furthest south we could find a store to go through would be Allquatics (Trenton area) or Tropiquarium (Ocean Twp. area)... and those...

Cool stuff! It's always interesting to hear about deep sea expeditions and finding new creatures.

Good to know. Thanks for saving me a trip John. ;)

That's a lil out of the way, but looks like a quality store based on the pics on their website.

Len, I have a 9.5 and a 12 at home so I can check for you later tonight. There should be a sticker near the electric cord that tells you what model it is though. Also, Here's a manual for the mag 9.5, 12, and 18 that may give you some more info... including model numbers for whichever cover you...

Guess I'll kick this thread off with a suggestion. I know there are many people in the club with nano tanks that have the standard lighting which usually isn't optimal for corals. How about a GB from an LED vendor that specializes in upgrade kits for nanos? As far as an actual vendor, I'd...

Sounds like a done deal. I'll close this one up for you Jim. Let me know if you need it back open.

Great looking fish Len. Wish I had a FO tank (or a place to put one, lol) or I'd take him.

I think Brian was referring to the black equipment looking thing behind the fish. ;) I was wondering what that was too.

Looks good Chris! Joe from Apollo recommends to have the fixture about 12" above the water surface. What do you think of them now that they've been up almost a week?

Might be a tight squeeze, but you can probably fit it. Worse comes to worse, you can always put the sump inside the stand, then put it in the truck. ;)

Haha, at least you got a good deal on a stand so you can use that as an excuse for getting the LED's! I'll have it with me at the party Brian. Make sure you bring a truck big enough to bring it home. ;)

Well, if you're able to run the major appliances off of it too, then I suppose that makes the cost a bit more bearable.

Hey Paul, good to hear you're coming back. After everything you've been through, the tranquility of a beautiful reef tank is certainly in order. ;)

Ugh, that must have been a scary situation John. Hard to believe that a clogged air hole could cause such a problem, but I can certainly believe it. This past weekend, I started hearing my overflow start to make a surge noise every 10 seconds or so. I ended up cleaning out my tubes and it fixed...

Wow, great job on the stand guys. Edwin, are you planning on using the section on the right to install all of your Reef Angel equipment? If you haven't planned on it already, I'd like to suggest you consider at least partially sealing off that whole section to house all your electrical equipment...

Thanks Tony, Craig, Sunny, and everyone else following along. Unfortunately, my weekend turned out to be much busier than I expected so I didn't get much progress done. It's a shame too because the weather was beautiful. :( I was able to add on the 4 extra outside vertical posts as Paul...

Thank you! I thought it might be gray, but with the lighting I guess it just made it look light blue.
