Yes it does leave some residue but it kind of stick on the glass without affecting clarity of the water. I cleaned the mixing tank once a year so it doesn't really bother me. Mine always tested high on all parameters which has been baffling me. I got mine from trop and I test new box all the...

I bought two of these from CVS when they were on clearance for $3 per. Comes with buildin battery. I have the timer unplugged for 3 months the time was still good. Another nice thing about it is there is "on auto" and "off auto" modes, which sets the timer to be on or off then resume at the...

Dig the scape. I notice you have drilled separate holes for the return. Using both the holes in the overflow for drains?

After losing color for a few days I dialed down the T5 to 60% now I am slowly getting some color back. Growth has resumed especially the purple nana. Will do aquascaping this weekend. Right now everything just laying on the bottom. Night shot: DIY sump cover + drip tube holder.

Yep. It's probably made no impact.

Thanks guys, very helpful. Have not checked ph ever so it's not an essential piece of equipment for me. So the $12 eBay probe sounds good.

Saw the BRS video but like to hear from you.

I think the rock scape you have now is actually very nice. Has a very natural look to it.

Big thank you for the veterans, putting their lives on the line for the rest of us. As an immigrant who has been to a lot of countries there is no other country like America. If I have to choose again I will proudly choose this country again without a second thought.

I like UV even though I don't currently run one. I have run them for my freshwater tanks and it will at the minimum improve the clarify of your water. I am thinking about adding one in the near future.

That is indeed paradise! Hopefully one day I will visit there.

Saltkreep - very true. thanks for the reminder. I will try my best not to panic ...

Thanks guys. Nothing is added. Just regular dosing. Must be the shock then. It's holding steady for the last several hours. At least not worse. Just raised the light again to 2 ft above water. And feeding more. I guess it's easy until it's not LOL.

SPS experts, please tell me what's going on. The color faded overnight and PE almost non-existent. This mille is usually the happiest one in the tank. All the parameters are good albeit it's new tank with new water. What can cause a coral to lose color that fast? Other SPS in the tank are mostly...

That's a very nice feature.

Standing in the fishroom last night admiring my messy creation and it suddenly came to me that the refugium pump was not running. Took the pump out. The wire where it went into the pump almost broke clean off. Weird. It's an old pump and I never noticed. Smells like plastic. I guess it easily...

Mark do you get the back and forth motion? Is it going to be too much flow for a 4 ft tank?

Two Rio Hyperflow 26HF pumps. http://www.amazon.com/Rio-26HF-HyperFlow-Water-Pump/dp/B000BJP52S. Comes with all the original connectors. Used < 2 years. $50 each. One Rio 1150 pump. 1450LPH. This is an older pump but works well. $20. One Mag 12 pump needs a new propeller, free.

This is the 48" 6 bulb fixture I bought from Tommynj when I started my 75g. Brain (fishBrain) was very generous to send me the hanging kit (very nice one). So now it has both the hanging kit and legs. Individual reflectors, cooling fan and switches for two separate channels. Serve me really...

Started plumbing first thing in the morning yesterday and it moved a lot quicker than expected. Finished in a few hours. Old sump was converted by removing a baffle to increase the return section. The refugium is plumbed to the return of the sump. Should I use the water from the drain of...
