Yeh very nice guy and delivery is prompt too. I understand they are wider then before I need to find out how it is done. Good thing for you certainly.

Pic would be good ... blasting your rocks with a powerhead or turkey baster helps to dislodge the crap and usually helps ... hair algae won't just blow off so easy.

I can put my hand on it ... very "warm" but not hot. I called ... if you call usually Jim will pick up though I think the phone is in the factory...sort of remember it being an issue.

Looks good I am a big fan of the two island approach. ;)

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax That is the reverse of what is usually the norm.

No no fans on mine though there are vents in either end...might be an option don't know.

I do and I am happy with what I got. Upside is price, function, customer service/customization, and warrentee. Downside bulbs that come with it are not great. I wish it was a little wider. It is great that it comes with bulbs and with its price it buys you some time to upgrade the bulbs. The...

I believe and this is just my opinion that it comes with the summer water temp rise. As soon as my temp hits 80 I tend to get my share. I too am going to rotate out some bulbs. But again my feeling is temp is to blame...perhaps a lower O2 level due to the higher temp? No corals look bad and...

Remember to be patient it will take a while to make sure you have cleared it up. I would suggest at least 4 weeks before you start to increase the salinity. Glad it is working well.

I like to do very frequent water changes in my QT. I feel that it helps gets rid any free floating baddies plus keeps very clean water. I would usually do 3-4 water changes per week.

I think you are pushing your luck a bit to be honest. They are a not one of the hardier tangs you are likely to have duribility issues.

Very cool looking fish ... I take it you removed the other smaller (food) fish? No inverts for you other then the starfish I guess.

Hey some of those issues sound familiar. ::) Here are some tips. You will want to put the live rock close to or on the bottom of tank glass because if you rest it on top of the sand a bit of digging by some industrious fish or critter can create a rockslide. Leave the crushed coral out of...

Well the draining is done the old fashion way, I blow the gunk off the rocks as best I can and syphon the water till the sump starts to be empty in the return section. I then unplug the return and continue with draining the water out of the DT. I try to do 10-15G per week. When I am sort of...

I have the lights and the bulbs are the OK but I regard them more as a placeholder till you upgrade the bulbs. The 10K bulbs are not bad but the atinic are soso. I replaced half the buls so I have Geismann Pure Actinic ULV 14K Cat Actinic 10K Repeat. I think it all depends on how you like the...

The Reef Fanatic...with the cheap aqualifter pump. Works like a charm. I think most are good, having two 30 G brutes I use one for ATO and one for water change. When I do my water change I unplug the aqualifter, drain out most of the water for the water change, then plug in a bigger pump that...

I was topping off about a gallon a day with a 120 open top...but with ATO I really don't pay attention...I check my brute once in a while but I know my water change brute needs filled faster then my ATO so it never gets low.

If you don't have any inverts then drop the salinity down to 9 or 10 and hold it there. I found that a drop of about 3 per day from 21(SG of fishstore) to 09 was not stessful on the fish that I noticed. Then hold it there for about 4 weeks then bring it back up at the same pace. I tried to match...

Yeh the Trop jugs are pretty decent but I was thinking they were too big sorta short as squat.
