I HAD one 2 years ago and I lost it. Although it was sold to me as Ice and Fire it most likely was a maricultured piece. Not from reefarmers. And these things can have different color intensity under different conditions. So I might very well buy a maricultured one if I see one that looks good.

I have the medium sized model (BP 110) and it never clogged. I have not touched it for 6 months. If it's clogged you will see the pellets tumbling slower I guess. I used to connect the output of the BP reactor to the intake of the skimmer. I don't do that anymore and it makes no difference...

That's nice. I want one too :)

What is an ice fire? Most of us have Hawkins. Is ice fire Aussie maricultured. I see plenty of these and they look exactly the same as ice fire.

welcome. like your aquascape.

It's quite rare for these guys to eat corals but mine did eat a hammer.

I don't like the idea of having a refugium in the sump after having one. It's usually too small to make an impact and all kind of stuff will start growing in the sump making it messy to work with. You can run a bio-pellet reactor which is easy to setup. Start with a small amount, like 100ml for...

Full siphon the flow rate is a LOT bigger. I have to look it up but like I said my main drain gate is barely open.

Ocelaris - with Herbie the smaller hole is the main and the bigger one is the backup. You would use the 1/2" hole for the main. If I am not wrong it should support 600g+ flow rate when fully open. So it might work for you. You can experiment with a Herbie setup first (it doesn't take much work...

So there is one 1" and one 1/2" holes?

Herbie is almost as good and a lot simpler. I use it and have nothing to complain about.

Watched a few videos on youtube. Thought some of you might enjoy..

Paul - can you try this? I been quite frustrated by the image sharing lately. Edit - not even work for me.

Maybe your tank is still new and going thru every algae species like mine did. From my planted tank days I learned algae come because of chemical imbalance and may or may not due to the nutrient levels. (there is actually a method to overdose nutrients to prevent algae growth in planted world.)...

Here's a couple of shots of the angelfish tank. The multibar didn't cooperate but the rock beauty is oblivious to the camera. The RBTA from @mrehfeld is incredible and after walking around for weeks finally found the spot it likes. You see a glimpse of the multibar behind the rocks in the...

Today I went to Sandy Hook to take a walk with wife and more important, collect some wild stuff from the ocean after inspired by @Paul B. The place is really beautiful when the crowd is not there and there are a lot of interesting things to look like. I collected some rocks covered with algae...

This the one I have. $95 shipped. A few guys on here have used it for a while now.

That nem is a beauty. I wish I have the tank for it. As for the light I consider it overpriced for something that's already a few years old and a few generations back. You might be inherit other people's problems. Depending what corals you plan to keep, I like the following: 1. for cheap - 2...
