smashers are typically much much smaller than the ones seen on the videos/youtube. You probably have one of the ones from the atlantic. I had a shipment of LR once that had 5 or 6 of them in there...because my tank wasn't set up - it was just about finding the LR, and squirting some RO water...

that's really "NORTH" of jersey....;) the AWI RODI is a great great piece of equipment. Love mine. That's pretty amazing you have a full blown reef and have a big predator like an eel (albeit in a connecting tank). Good luck!

nice to hear...keep us posted!

congrats - i have no idea about bird upkeep - do you have to trim those claws?

Sorry to hear that...I should update my sh tank also...those two look great!

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....
