    COWLR - Do we need fish?

    Everything I have seen in the few years I have done this leads me to believe the largest problem for most reefers is nutrient in, vs nutrient out. Obviously coral need some nutrients beyond what lights can supply, but aren't we creating our own problems by dumping fish food in coral tanks...

    Suggestions for (idiot proof) RODI container

    Hi guys, I told the wife that if come up with a good way to avoid leaving the RO running, and flooding the laundry room (for the umpteenth time) looking for a solution that's comparable in capacity to a 5 gallon jug, which is what I'm using now. What are your thoughts?

    New Tank build - Who's using the Triton method?

    Starting up a 40B this weekend and am seriously considering this triton method. Anyone have any experiences they can share? Basically other than the chemicals, and maybe a better return pump, it looks like I just need the chemicals. List of equipment: 40B E-shopps R-200 sump Skimmer 2 BRS...

    What makes a $300 sump better than a $30 diy?

    Curious why people spend 10x as much $$$for a premade sump, instead of making their own? One benefit seems to be they are quieter, but I feel like I was able to make mine (acceptably) quiet. Are there other reasons I'm missing? Basically I'm in the frenzied phase of starting a new tank...

    Zoa only Tank

    Do you feed zoas? Do you dose for zoas? Do you recommend a reef controller for zoas? I had been neglecting my tank for a while and now I am slowly nursing it back to health. I will do another water change tonight and see where my numbers are. In the meantime: I've decided to focus on zoas and...

    40G Breeder Stand?

    Picked up a 40G breeder today. Oddly enough, I can't find wooden stands for sale? It seems like such a popular tank, this surprises me. Any advice? i prefer not to build one myself (I'm sure my homeowners insurance would agree).

    Return Pump Question

    What would you suggest my turnover rate should be in a 30G cube with a 10G sump? My return pump is getting noisy, and it was cheap 2 years ago ($40). I'm also of the opinion that more flow "may" benefit the tank, hopefully reduce cyano? Thoughts?

    Paly Remediation

    I've read that calk can be used to cull back fast growing palys, either with a paste, or by injecting them. Where does one get a syringe to do this? or when smothering, how do you mix/apply it? I wanted to start adding calk to my top ff water anyway and figured I'd use it to thin the play...
