    How's everyone making out (roll call)

    Still no power. Took a drive around today, tons of trees down on power lines and across streets. My parents lost 3 trees and had two from the neighbor fall in the yard. We are fine, lost one of the gates on the side of my house. Battery run air bubblers running 24 hours strong. Vortech backup...

    How's everyone making out (roll call)

    Power out since three. Big trees down, transformers blowing and lighting up the sky. Internet and phone are sketchy. Air bubblers running on batteries now. We broke everything down onto three tanks to keep it simple. If the power is out tomorrow, we will be running the vortech battery. Very very...

    How's everyone making out (roll call)

    We have lost power a few times but only for like a minute or so. Winds are blowing. We made the decision to break down the 45g and 12g tanks into our main system, this gives us less ground to cover and more of a stable environment. Our bioload is so minute for 400g that we are keeping our...

    Colors of BTAs?

    Those sunburst nems from jgonz are hot. We are not doing nems in our new tank but if I was I would have one of those in a heart beat.

    Colors of BTAs?

    Red and Green are probably the most common ones you will see. There are some orange ones out there and then there are paint splatter type ones. You can also get some mulit colored ones out there but they are few and far between.

    Can you use distilled water in a reef tank?

    You can, but you will find out it is much more expensive and depending on who is comes from might not be the best. Trop sells RODI water for fifty cents a gallon, you aren't going to really beat that.

    I'm back and I'm finally looking to jump back in

    Marineland 45g cube. 24x24x18. If you are patient we will be breaking ours down in a month or so.

    Brown Algae, Diatom Algae?

    Having a bigger skimmer is generally the rule of thumb. It lets you stock the tank how you want, not what your skimmer is rated for. You don't want to go TOO big like a skimmer rated for 500g but where you are, that would be a good skimmer. I have a reef octopus skimmer and am really happy...

    Classklown's 40B SPS Paradise

    We had a long nosed hawk and we had to get rid of him, as he got bigger he took pot shots at our cleaner shrimp. They also need a lid, they will jump.

    Thoughts on Ground Probes

    To simplify things: Pros for ground probe: You don't get electrocuted Cons fro ground probe: If something is leaking electricity into the tank, it will continue to do so which can crash your tank. If you have all GFCI you should be fine, also who doesn't love a little tingle when their hands...
