Hi all, I was a happy reefer for 2 years, with a 40gal, 1 250w 10kMH, 4 happy clams, 4 fish, a dozen astrea, turbo, and cerith snails, and SPS and LPS corals. Then we moved. On the advise of my fishtank guy (who watches the tank when I'm out of town) I got rid of my DSB and switched to a 2"...

Glad you like it. Steal away. As for the top-off siphon effect, I put in eye screw in the top of my stand (being careful not to go into the bottom of the tank), and hund the top-off tubing from that with a zip tie. It works fine. Another trick is to place the ree switch in a non-turbulent...

I've also been battling the topoff issue. My 40gal tank is on a hardwood floor that my wife wants to keep dry (sooo picky!). I've ended up with a redundant system that has worked well for a year now. I have a 20 gal tank of RO/DI water. I have a powerhead piped to the tank. The powerhead is...

Hi all. I'm headed out of town and my MH light just stopped working. It's a 6 month old 250w 10k Ushio from lampsnow. When I turn it on, the ballast buzzes, but the light doesn't fire. I've checked all my connections and waited for the light to restrike, but no luck. Any ideas/experiences...

I have a 40gal 36" long tank with one 10k 250watt mh. My SPS and clams are doing great. I run a fan in the day and it heats up the tank about 2-3 degrees.

Thanks for taking a look at my thread. I apologize in advance for it being so long. I've been closely testing my Calcium and alkalinity readings the last few days and have come up with the following test results: Date Time Ca dKh Wed 1330 390 7.2 Thur 0815 390 9.0 Thur 2100 385 7.7 Fri...

I just bought a Sony DSC-S75 from buydig.com. I found them on pricegrabber.com. I've shopped them before for a video camera. They have good prices for cameras but offer expensive peripherals. Also, once you order online you'll get a phone call to "confirm" your order. This is where you get...

Hi All, I've been running my 40gal for about a year and want to get into clams and SPS. My tank is 36" long and the lights would be 20" from the DSB. My question is, how many and what spectrum MH can I do without creating a massivbe amount of evaporation? I currently run 3 96w pc with a...

Thanks.

Has anyone ordered from this website? http://www.reefaholics.org/Sale/default.htm His corals look great. TIA

Does anyone out there know where I can get replace pads for my Tunze magnet? Thanks.

I have a similar setup. I'm using a Mag 950 into a sea swirl. The return flow overwhelmed my ovcerflow box so I added a ball valve to the return to gate down the flow. I'm considering branching off a line to run both my skimmer and the return flow duties, but haven't gooten around to figuring...

When I started my tank I got a rock from Jeff's Exotic fish with some "non-pulsing xenia type B". I looks like it's anthelia (like apastia, only blue). It spreads at a remarkable rate. Any ideas on how to get rid of it, other than plucking it off one at a time?

Hi Ben, I'm dosing B-ionic with a dosing pump at the rate of 40ml of each part per day. My tank is a 40g with moderate LPS, softies, a clam and a bunch of coralline algae. This seems to keep my levels constant. I drip both into the sump at the same time into different areas. It seems to...
