    Mojano Anemone's?

    Yeah those look like manjanos to me. The ones in my tank have red/green or green tips like in your photo. Some people like them, but IMO they are a nusiance. I recently removed 20 from my refrigum because they were getting out of control. As for getting rid of them I used a scraper to remove...

    I find that when I disturb my sand a little, the go crazy, and I go on a (vermatid snail)killing spree.

    Strange PH Readings

    Yes I added a little buffer yesterday to bring the ph closer to 8.3. After I moved the probe the ph is reading 8.15 this morning in the tank, and 6.6 from the reactor effulent. I'm thinking it was a bad reading, and hoping the probe isn't dying... it's only 6 months old.

    Strange PH Readings

    Today I noticed my PH was reallly low, 7.14 down from 8.11 the previous day. I have a PH probe close to a corner of my sump, and I decided to take a reading from the effulent out of my CA reactor. It was 6.7, so I was wondering how the PH was reading 7.14. The probe is always in this location...

    Odyssea Light system... Yae or Nay???

    Well I've taken it apart before for a small fix so it's familiar ground. Plus my dad was an electrician so I can always lean on him if I'm in trouble...

    Odyssea Light system... Yae or Nay???

    Hi Luke, I just checked the ballasts and no where in them do they state what wattage they are, so I am under the impression from the aquatraders website that they are indeed the "External 250W Electronic HQI Metal Halide Ballasts with On/Off Switch". How do you know they are otherwise? Thanks...

    Odyssea Light system... Yae or Nay???

    Wow... those Odyssey 10Ks with the Lumatek ballasts look better than my Helios 20Ks with the factory Odyssey ballasts. I never knew the ballasts could make such a difference. My corals grow, but I'm not entirely sure if they are growing as quickly as they should be. My sps never grew until I...

    Is this enough water circulation?

    It sounds like more than enough to me for softies... doing the math you have 3100 gph with all the pumps, divide that by your 75 gal tank which is equals roughly 41 times an hour your water is turned over. Running your system at this configuration might be a bit stressful for your softies, but...

    Odyssea Light system... Yae or Nay???

    I have this exact lighting system from aquatraders. I agree that the bulbs are crap, but it got me started with sps. I have since upgraded the 250 wt halides to helios 20K, and the lighting looks great. I've owned my system for a year and a half, and my buddy ran it for over a year prior to...
