People like this make me incredibly angry because I have friends who battled (and are still battling cancer) and this fraud just goes to show how desperate/crazy people can be. http://abcnews.go.com/US/jersey-mom-allegedly-told-son-cancer-part-scam/story?id=19051549#.UXwstKLql8E (it's a video...

I use brightwell kalk +2 via a GB purchase...but in a reactor. I don't have any of the build up you're referring to. The Tunze ATO pushes water into the reactor- so the ATO is not sitting in the solution - is that where you dump the kalk?

wow that is pretty impressive return on investment for a fan... btw i agree that those are mysis alive in your sump.

what you sold a boomstick? Was it a top of the line one from S-Mart? LOL.

did you ever decide on the Kalk equipment? Those things are pretty big...i use a PM kalk but that was only because we had a GB on them years ago. It's connected to my tunze ato and has a powerhead to stir the kalk.

LOL Matt is plotting to frag the bags...HAHAHHA.

I'll raise my hand and just say if you plan on sps tank - a deep sand bed will inherently conflict with the idea of high flow in the tank. Marc L has some great ideas if you want to check his site out in texas: http://melevsreef.com/

if an LFS doesn't have something - some club member may - or better yet the club is conducting a group buy with a big online retailer. Have you considered signing up to become a member of the club? It's a small fee but helps to offset the cost of the operations for this club. Maybe come to a...

Where's the SAND Poem? LMAO!!!!

Do i have to break out the old pics of us to encourage more peeps? hahaha oh well - let me know.

I like that author (randy) a lot - here's a different article on the same subject. You appear to be in zone 2....but it puzzles me because you have a calc reactor. Maybe it's not tuned right? http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/11/chemistry

beautiful fish. Are they reef safe? For a hard coral display - As far as I know almost all angels (japanese swallowtails and may one or two others that elude my mind) are going to pick at your corals. A Niger Trigger will consume mobile invertebrates. So if you are ok with replenishing your...

hey brian - does the screen "rust"? i've been meaning to get one together..another "to do" list item.

Yes - 20 years ago wet dry were state of the art. I remember installing one of those along with a UGF. They have a function and place for FO tanks but not so much for reef tanks today. You could take the same box, dump the bio balls and use the space for a refugium. But you're better off...

sorry to hear....

is this a FO tank? because that is the only reason why i'd ever consider a wet/dry filter. Otherwise you will be battling nitrates all the time with the bioballs. Set up the tank with live rock and then the sump will house just the skimmer, maybe a refugium and/or a bio pellet reactor. Other...

so to reconfirm you re-used the sand? It's likely that as that sandbed settled, it was releasing ammonia into the tank. Were you testing the tank for it during the 4 weeks you had it? How deep is the sandbed? if it's very shallow (e.g. you can see the glass on the bottom) then this theory...

unfortunately the frag i got from you did not survive sandy.

hmmm...i'm interested but i need to check with the other half. will send you a pm.

if it were me i'd add the least aggressive fish first. If only because this hobby is expensive enough and to have a tank with no "fish" movement may make your friends/family think you are nuts. lol.
