    Aquarium Systems Seaclone 100 Protein skimmer

    lol Bob...actually no skimmer would be better since you'd save on electricity...just do water changes. for a 58 i'd suggest a skimmer like the aqua c remora/urchin. I used an aquac ev 120 on a 55 but that was because I was going to upgrade to a bigger tank later. skimmers come in a variety of...

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) We came back on saturday from Six Flags and it was just a loong day...still felt tired from all the walking. Question for the folks who go a lot - is it better to travel via the GSP or the Turnpike if you are up by exit 11 on the...

    Any copper in central jersey water?

    The RO unit should be extracting the copper from the water. (Folks who have RODIs - speak up here). I'm still waiting for one more piece before I set up my rodi - so apologies for not speaking from experience. Back when I lived in NY - the tap water was superb. btw - sorry in my above post i...

    mangrove questin

    oh if it's going to be under the tank - you should go with some type of macroalgae. Mangrove is basically a tree - like oak, pine etc, except it has the unique ability to have roots in brackish/salt water. I wouldn't do it if it's under a tank.

    mangrove questin

    but it's soooo cool!!!! ;D but to dave's point if your purpose is thinking that mangroves serve a better way of nutrient export then cheato - then that's not the best way to go. If you're line of thinking is how cool it would be to have a mini-forest of mangrove pods - then ok go for it...

    Diatom Help

    I dunno - diatoms should come (with a vengeance) and then go...to me the fact that they keep reappearing week after week is just strange. Astreas are awesome for the glass (and somewhat for the LR) in terms of diatom eating. Do you think the glass has less because it is being cleaned up more...

    Nitrate ?

    i read about that thread...(there's an identical one on MD and RC) by the same person. Jury is still out on this in my opinion. I'm more curious what some of the long-time reefers think since scrubbers were first seen as the mecca of nitrate control - but that was before skimmers - real...

    Diatom Help

    one of the most thorough posts I've seen... only thing i can think of is maybe the sand was a bad batch and has silica in it. You mention your cleanup crew...can you be more specific? What kind of cleaners do you have for the sand?

    Personally I never used them because I hate hate hate washing things (heck I don't even do my own laundry...but that's because my wife thinks I'm the WORST folder in the history of mankind) (you guys should try that trick!). 3 for washer 3 for high pressure water...and just me who didn't use...

    Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Thanks Jonathan! It's hard to plunk down $$$ on books when you want to save it for the equipment itself. So it's good to know what other books are out there that may help. I actually have the others I didn't quote...forgot to list em...
