    Please help DIY Led Build

    I agree with you on those being overkill but I got those because they were 2$ more and was thinking I could run them at 700mA without putting much stress on the driver. Where as the nano ones would be maxed out on one driver. I also wanted to be able to adjust blues and whites to my liking...

    Please help DIY Led Build

So the plan Im working on is a little zoa tank to compliment some of my nicer Zoas and free up some room in the 75. Got a Fluval Spec V. Here is a list of what I have so far for the LED build. And later where Im...

    My New 75 Gallon Reef lots of pics

    I haven't had a chance to get to it yet because of work and school. But the tank has 2 holes bottom drilled. 1 1/4 drain and 3/4 return. I was told that's bad news without regularly checking and cleaning the drain pipe so if it were to clog it would drain the sump ruining my brand new pump and...

    I got rid of the rock nem as he wasn't liking the tank much should have kept him for the move and I reall like that mini too I'll have to keep him around if he isn't really common then. Ill try moving him around a bit to see if he opens back up

    My New 75 Gallon Reef lots of pics

    Thank you very much. I'm still learning being I've been into saltwater for about 9 months and now getting into sps I have more to learn. Aside from a little cyano I've been able to stay on top of everything else. Much happier with this 75 than my previous 27 gallons and my biocube 14

    Ideas for keeping BTA out of overflow?

    yeah good luck! They are amazing creatures if only they could be happy with a home and stay away from other corals and filters. What style overflow do you have? in my 75 the overflow sits above the water level with slits all the way around it as well as one one towards bottom. Im going setup a...

    my new addiction is rock anemones and mini maxi anemones. post up pictures of yours

    Stirring up an old thread here! In my previous tank my maxi always opened up and looked great but now he is mostly closed up... Not sure if its lighting because the fixture over my new tank is way stronger but I have him off to the side any advice based on what you have found? trying to post a...

    Ideas for keeping BTA out of overflow?

    I was pretty bummed I had a 6" red bubble that was happily in its spot for 2 months and no changes to the tank I left for the day only to come home to it sucked up in the filter tube! My fault for having a canister but it was a very temporary home. Now I have about a 1" BTA that looks way cooler...

    Has anybody tried coralife salt mix?

    I've been using salinity but it's pretty spendy considering I can get a 5 gallon of Red Sea coral pro for 10$ cheaper than a 3 gallon of salinity. Salinity is a great salt and mixes to exactly 1.026 for 120 gallons where as most are only measured to 1.021 or somewhere close. From the research...

    Thanks! Couldn't have got where I am without the help of a lot of local reefers and the guys at OBD and barrier reef. Lots of very knowledgeable people around here. Hoping to meet many more locals soon. Kinda sucks living where I do being in the hobby. Closest local I have met is still about an...

    My New 75 Gallon Reef lots of pics

    So last night I went over to kpiotrowski's and checked out his 300 it is awesome! Also got a ton of info and we even built a new return line to keep my single overflow from plugging and flooding my house. Gonna try to finish that all up tomorrow. Finally got my RO/DI unit back thanks to Mike...

    My New 75 Gallon Reef lots of pics

    Thanks it was a lot of work getting things moved over and placing everything back into the tank. Total time from start till now is about 2 months. When I set it all up I used LR that had been in my other 2 systems for 6 months in one tank about 9 in the other. Used some one and only bacteria in...
