I have the same tank and switched from a Orbit Marine LED to a Kessil AP700. Its a little pricy but it puts out an awesome spectrum and shimmer is amazing. My tank is mainly LPS and everything is growing and happy but all Im comparing it to is my previous lights which was a little lack luster...

Looking for a 75-100gal water tank for mixing saltwater. I see them online for $200-$300 but then its $300 in shipping, does anyone know if they can be locally sourced on Long Island?

Don?t have any sps, all lps. Figured as much just didn?t know if it?s something I should be concerned with or if it was a sign of something going wrong.

I have always done 20% weekly water changes on my 120. The past few months I have cut back to 10% weekly water changes and dosing to keep up with alk and cal levels. Pretty new to dosing but I have always heard that alk and calc get consumed at a 1:1 ratio. In trying to maintain 9dkh alk and 440...

Just came across this thread and...... WOW!! this is one hell of a system your setting up. If not for having a wife I would be doing the same. When this thing is done you should have a stocking party where everyone brings a frag and you give a tour. As far as the pump, I have a EcoTech Vectra L1...

With the savings you will get for upgrading to a 300 gal tank, there will be plenty of $ left over.

Just apply reef math. $800 on a piece of equipment for a 35 gallon tank.... $800 / 35gal = $22.85 per gal. Tough call. $800 / 300gal = $2.66 per gallon thats almost a 1,000% discount tough to say no. Im no expert but numbers dont lie.

Yes what you see in the right corner is throughout the whole tank but its actually green. I dont have a deep sandbed, 2" +/-. I have always vac'ed the sandbed as part of my water changes and never had this issue. It wasnt until I disturbed the rocks that were resting on "virgin" sand. I...

I do not use the Apex to full ability, but I am very happy with its, performance and interface thus far and happy to know that when I upgrade to a larger system I have room to grow with the addition of controllability of equipment ect. Only downside is the cost. Im sure there are less costly...

I?ll give it a shot, would you continue to vac sand during water change or just stick to large water changes without disturbing sand. Thanks again

Agree 100% that I disturbed something in moving the rocks around. When i removes one of the rocks that was on the sandbed it released a strong low tied almost sulfur smell. I have been running socks and gfo. Peramters have been consistent before and after moving rocks with exception of...

Short story, short. Tank is about 3 years old. Everything was fine and doing great. Had a tang that out of nowhere decided he liked nip a my duncan colony. In attempt to remove said tang I had to dam near take every rock out of my tank (placed in tubs with tank water). Anyway shortly after the...

If your still looking I have a 48" pro model with remote.

Update, I let it run its course for 4-5 days and completely lost all heads on the effected branch, then the skin on the trunk started to peel. Ended up fragging it in attempt to save the remaining 60%. It has since bounced back and looking better than ever, sprouting new heads regularly. One...

Alkalinity is not effected by day / night lighting schedules, PH is what swings. PH will rise when lights are on because photosynthetic plants / algae consume co2 and produce oxygen increasing PH. At night there isnt any lighting to aid in photosynthesis so oxygen levels drop and thus decreases...
