  1. Best Circulation for 300G SPS tank?

    Louey, Take a look at www.reeftec.com, I personally do not have any experiance with this product. However, from what some of my fellow reefers have experianced, it is a great circulation device. Best Regards MDA
  2. Overloaded - Is 3/5 Chat on week 6 or week 7

    Mickey, I am believe that the 3/5 chat is on week 7. We discussed alot of week 6 on the 3/26 chat even though we did not have all the lecture material. Was there a chat on 3/2? If so when? I signed on at 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00 CST and no one seemed to be around. Best Regards MDA
  3. Green Star Polyps, HELP!

    SJFISHGUY hit the nail on the head. I am currently taking Eric B's. Coral biology class, and in our chat last night it was discussed that star polyps relay extensively on dissolved organics in the water column for a large portion of their energy and growth needs. Best Regards MDA
  4. anyone heard of /used this skimmer

    I strongly suggest you look at the AquaC Remora or Remora Pro at http://www.proteinskimmer.com. I have the Remora Pro on a 75 and have been very pleased with the results. Best Regards MDA

    If we didn't spend all of our available cash on our tanks, we would all probably have better computers :D

  8. Cyanide use in the Aquarium Industry

    Mary, I find his response to be somewhat tongue in cheek, telling me what I want to hear type of thing. However, he tells me that he directly imports from specific divers that work directly with himself and other LFS in the United States. I will have to say that compared to other LFS stores in...
  9. remora skimmer question?

    I have the in sump urchin pro, which is almost identical to the remora in design. I am assuming it is the rectangular box with the rubber o-ring for height adjustment. Mine slips in and out with relative ease, so it would appear that there is a flaw in the construction, especially if it looks...
  10. Cyanide use in the Aquarium Industry

    Answers 1.) Yes, I was aware based on information from reefs.org and AAO. 2.) Yes 3.) Yes, I do ask and my main LFS says he does not buy anything but net caught. That may be the reason he seems so $$high$$. In four years with him I have only two fish not survive after the initial acclimation...
  11. Back from accident scene

    Wow, Glad to hear all is well. Cars can be fixed or replaced. Loved ones not so easy. My wife is a flight parmedic/firefighter/ER trauma nurse, and I hear way to much about that stuff. Good to see you back and that your fiance is ok. Best regards MDA
  12. Complex canopy

    Craw, The expoxy paint as Mac pointed out is not very resiliant to the UV that MH produce. However, if you coat the expoxy with a UV resistant marine varnish, it works wonderfully. Don't you live in the Crystal Lake area here in Illinois? If so I have some ideas about your exhaust design, I work...
  13. Problem with Week 2 quiz???

    Mickey, I and a couple of others in the class have experienced the same issue. I'm sure once Eric gets back and his world returns to normal, he will make the correction.
