    Who uses an EcoTech Marine Vortech pumps?

    I got two at the Barrier Reef sale- the wireless kind. I still need to figure out how to set them up so that I have one controller telling both what to do.

    Thanks so much for all your help!

    Should I replace my T5s with LEDs?

    How sure are you that 2 units wouldn't fry my coral to a crisp? They are MAP pricing but that excludes "take x % of your order" type sales. So far I've found them for 10% off. :-)

    Should I replace my T5s with LEDs?

    Interesting. I have enough surface agitation that I shouldn't have an issue. I guess I will want the "blue" version. off to search for the best deal online!

    Should I replace my T5s with LEDs?

    30 long, 15 deep and 21 inches tall. Its just a tad over 40 gallons. I've been googling LED lighting like crazy (instead of working!) and these do seem to be well reviewed, but also like some of the priciest out there. I decided a while back that I am done buying cheap bandaid type products...

    Should I replace my T5s with LEDs?

    Thanks but there is NO way I want to build my own. I want something that I know will work with a warranty and all that good stuff. I think building things like that is great if you are exceptionally handy, but if you are me it ends with tons of frustration and wasted money. Because my tank is...

    Should I replace my T5s with LEDs?

    @Akunochi- seems like you know a ton about these lights. Are they suitable for smaller tanks? mine is a 40 and I'm pretty unhappy with the light I have (250MH and 2 T5s). I am looking for something that will give me a much more BLUE look while (obviously) not killing my coral. I've heard so...

    Blue Sierra Customer Survey Thread

    I meant no disrespect either, but the way I read the original post is that they were looking for feedback in order to improve. I think its important and good for companies to continually seek feedback from the customers, as its the customers that ultimately make or break the business. I think...

    Blue Sierra Customer Survey Thread

    Not really looking to fill out a survey, but thought I'd share my unfortunately negative feedback. I needed an RO/DI unit QUICKLY. Contacted your Renton store (which is the one I am closest too) and was told they had one in stock. Good news right? Not really since they couldn't find the...

    Small sick blue tang from Petco- Or "I'm a sucker and spend money on dying fish"

    Thanks Lee! I will follow those instructions. Based on your reply I'm assuming that you are in agreement that this little tang has ich?

    Small sick blue tang from Petco- Or "I'm a sucker and spend money on dying fish"

    To answer all the questions- He is a GREAT eater but won't touch any of the algae sheets. He seems pretty unstressed at this point. He does itch/rub against the rocks a lot.

    Small sick blue tang from Petco- Or "I'm a sucker and spend money on dying fish"

    I agree on the rash part- I think I have it identified correctly but I'm not 100%. I pulled out my DSLR today and got some pics. Maybe this is helpful to you guys. If you click on the links you'll be able to see them larger (I hope).

    Loaner lights in Seattle for 20" tank? (Newbie awaits ordered lights!)

    I have a light you can borrow if you promise not to be a sucky loser and never give it back. Nothing fancy, just a 24 inch T5 fixture but it will do the job for you.

    so um where did the crab come from?

    Given the "kill the crab" thread I would get rid of him regardless. LOL.

    Who uses an EcoTech Marine Vortech pumps?

    All great info- thanks so much. I know I will be getting at least one MP10, but am trying to decide if I need two.

    Small sick blue tang from Petco- Or "I'm a sucker and spend money on dying fish"

    He came from the Arlington store. Now that he's not hiding and in full light I can very clearly see the ich. I guess I really should treat him, although maybe I could try some cleaner shrimp? Anyone have any experience with that and ich? Might be a low stress option for this guy since I'm...

    Small sick blue tang from Petco- Or "I'm a sucker and spend money on dying fish"

    Small sick blue tang from Petco- Or "I'm a sucker and spend money on dying fish" Today I stopped by Petco to pick up dog food. I always walk by their saltwater section "just because". Today I saw a tiny tiny blue tang in one of their equally tiny cross-sectioned tanks. He was getting beat up...

    Ecotech MP40 vs Bowing Acrylic Tank

    I don't know that I would add further stress to the tank either. As someone who currently has a leaking tank I can tell you that its a horrible horrible PITA as well as really hard on the inhabitants. Maybe you could find a used tank for much much less?
