    ERIC'S REEFING ADVENTURE

    Today was a fun one. I usually fill my 30 gallon brute, and do 20 gallon change on main system and 5 on each smaller tank. Today I decided all 30 of the main tank. Generally just drain the sump for water changes (about 20 gallons), and refill sump and hit pump on. As the sump ws draining with...

    Does t5 bring extra colors?

    I have a fixed mount for my lights. If I added single T5 bulb to the fixture mount, which bulb would be best as a general bulb to add?

    ERIC'S REEFING ADVENTURE

    Newest battle is that of Phosphates/Nitrates. I had posted this in an SPS question NJTaxMan brought up. I have a red sea s500 max tied in with a 35 gallon frag tank. They both go into the stock sump under the red sea. I have BRS 5 stage RODI and maintain the filters religiously. March 1st is...

    Adding dry rock

    I just randomly add dry rock occassionally. naybe I use some sump pieces for another little setup. Just replace those few pieces with dry rock. Plenty enough bacteria to go around. All the dry rock I am adding has been bleached/dechlorinated/rinsed/dried. So not much dead organic material...

    ERIC'S REEFING ADVENTURE

    I got a cool rimless frag tank from SumpNFishy. Initially I had it as a stand along tank next to the Red Sea s500, but decided to tie them together. Here are some pictures of the frag tank. It became an extension of the display in reality.

    SPS: What am I doing wrong?

    I tried very slight amounts of NOPOX, and $1200 worth of jawbreaker deaths later, decided....I will try the cheato method or just let it go as is. Corals are looking good. Just slow growth.

    Special Agent Furcifer Pardalis

    Seems fine. I think he may have gotten to the edge of the cage and then started climbing down the xBoxOne controller charging cables when his weight made him pull it all down to the floor. Maybe 2 feet max fall. The falling remote probably scared the cat more than anything. Seems good. Climbing...

    SPS: What am I doing wrong?

    I guarantee it is to blame for my slow growth and lack of coraline algae buildup. BUT everytime I try and address it, I lose alot of coral. so my only plan is skim more wet, change my filter socks more quickly, feed a little less, and add a better grow light to the cheato section. IF I can get...

    Special Agent Furcifer Pardalis

    JUST after reading this....I go downstairs to grab some food. Walk past my sons room and hear the fountain pump running dry, so open cage and add some but really empty. So leave it open, go down making a peanut butter sandwhich and hear a remote crash to the floor. And when I run up the stairs...
