    Reef Addiction Support for Spouses

    Paul she started me off slow, just a hob filter and compact flourescent lights. Then it was a few clown fish just to get you hooked. She did all that for free, then I was hooked. Now we have multiple tanks and she introduced me to Tropiquarium where I have to buy water weekly just to keep the...

    So who uses what salt brand

    Tropic Marin Pro, the bucket is running low so I might switch. I have had no problem with the salt but might try their reef actif or brightwell. Love all of brightwells products, so don't see how their salt could dissapoint.

    my 30 gal...

    Nice, we love the Aqua C skimmer and had the koralias as well. We upgraded to the mp10 in our 20g and the mp20 in our 30g and really like the look without the extra powerheads. The only other thing we like on our tanks is the HOB refugiums. Great place to stick some extra live rock and chaeto...

    Great pictures, love the look of the live rock. What are the dimensions of the tank and what equipment are you running on it?

    Algea control

    We had a coral beauty and promptly got rid of it, it was an aggressive little bugger. We have also had a pygmy angel which was a great little angel that met its demise on a powerhead. The flameback in the 20g has been good, but they are known to be a bit more aggressive and he does rule the 20g...

    Algea control

    In our 20g, probably 30 pounds give or take. We never weighed it. The old rule of thumb was a pound per gallon but at live rock got better and more porous the surface area increased allowing for less poundage.

    Coral placement and light cycle

    You should be ok, but having a shady area just in case is a good idea. With that depth of tank you should be ok with them on your sandbed. Before I bought any nice acans or chalices for our 20g I went out and bought cheap frags of those to see if they would work. They were both fine, so we...

    First for me!

    Consider yourself lucky that at least it is staying still. Mine wondered on the back glass right up to our pumps for the skimmer and refugium. Thank god we have put covers over them so we avoided that disaster. Last night he moved down the glass and towards the front and parked right over the...

    New Sohal Tang

    Just wanted to tag on there that Trop just got a few Sohal in and they looked amazing. Very healthy and the largest was like 4-5 inches. I have never seen Sohals that small and they were pretty amazing. Apparently getting shipments from the Red Sea is getting very difficult (they also had some...

    If you are looking to upgrade, OGII is selling a RO/DI unit that has a wastewater ration of 1:1 instead of the usualy 1:5

    Green Mushroom not playing nice with some orange zoos.

    We just popped a mushroom off a piece of liverock because it was stinging things around it. We pulled it off with tweezers, and it was not happy at all. My wife (who did it) got a nice little burn on her finger form where is spit on her.

    Coral placement and light cycle

    You don't have to worry as much, but it is always a good idea to light acclimate. You don't know the PAR ratings of the tank they are coming from and what your tank is. The only time I really don't light acclimate is in our 20g which has T5s if the coral is coming from an MH system. But even...

    Moving sps colonies

    So I finally made it up to Trop and talked to them about how they recieve/ship large SPS colonies attatched to live rock. He said the best way would be to cut the colony off of the live rock and float it that way and reattach the colonies later on. Pros: Easier to move, you can setup your LR in...
