    Solaris I5

    I'm using sam's old 48" G series (made in China). I don't have enough mileage to give you any feedback. I've read all the horror stories about the G but for now have been pleased with it's performance (no corals in my tank yet - still too new). There is another maker of LEDs based in the USa - I...

    Nitrates/NO3 at 80ppm

    Hey everyone - I was reading the sur4die's tale of the tank - and I think this got buried among all the recent posts. Anyways - his nitrates are at 80ppm. He is using the 'Old' Sand that was in the tank (which he purchased complete). I suggested a 100% water change - but I'm not sure. Any...

    cabj1970's old 55G is my new 55G

    ouch....the sand bed is releasing a lot of crud - keep up with the water changes! OR - do the extreme and move all your corals/fish into a separate holding tank. Then take OUT all the sand - and dump it. Re-load the tank with new sand and water (not to the top since you don't want to put...

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) JR - it was nice to meet you again. Next time maybe we'll have more time to break bread or something. I'm sure my kids would love to run around with yours. Anyways - only update is that I set up my Titanium Ground Probe. Does everyone...

    my 55g

    yep - resist the urge to rush and get stuff. We all do impulse buys but saltwater tanks make you regret it as there's nothing like seeing a prized possession croak on you. the black/white clowns are the same species as the Amphiprion ocellaris - but I believe they are tank-bred to be that...

    what is this light worth???

    I don't know what the light is worth - but I don't think I would use it for my fish tank. Sorry i can't be of more help.

    what light should I buy

    john - if you are going to get something from PA - you might want to wait for our group buy. But more importantly you should sign up for membership.

    Fascination with picasso's

    Well for what it's worth my wife think the "A" grade looks amazing. But she also thinks the naked ones are cute. She also thought I was a catch so clearly her judgment is skewed. LOL. One other perhaps more realistic point of view (as opposed to ego) is - like a car, - one looks at "resale"...

    Fascination with picasso's

    ROFL. Everyone has a way of assigning values differently. Picassos are genetically bred fish that you cannot find anywhere else. No one else breeds them (yet). So there is an intrinsic value to being "the first" and also there is some cost to breeding these (so to pay for the research). It's...

    Here's my Big Office System

    Re: Here's my 120 a series of events like that would probably cause me to consider whether to stay in the hobby. That's crazy! Glad to see you got it all under control. I remember getting little tiny urchins from TBS - they were no bigger than a pencil eraser - yours must have been huge!

    Quick question

    the check valve is used so that if power were to go out - the water would not backwash into the sump. At least that is how I see it designed by the Hidden Reef staff. This makes sense if you plan on keeping the water close to the top of the sump. BUT - check valves are known to falter - so why...
