    Webinar Series feedback

    Great concept. I think once a month would be too much, maybe once a quarter. I have worked with similar things before where we would have a 1 hour webinar and then we would take a 2 hour break and come up with questions. We would log in and type out our questions. Then the presenter would...

    Way too much humidity. Need advice.

    A dehumidifier is a great thing. I would recommend if you get one to get one that has a drain tube and run it to the drain in the floor if you have one. Most of the larger ones have float switches that will turn off if you forget to dump out the water. I know a couple of people who run them...

    Feeding the tank

    You are exactly right. I like a "sterile" look to my tank but of course I feed my tank. I feed 10 mintues after my lights go off, that is also when my skimmer and ozone unit are turned off. I do this for many reason, first I don't like the idea of my skimmer going crazy just because I have...

    premium membership

    I would love to see the return of the Premium Membership. I know I might get beat up a little on this one but what are the thoughts on only Premium Members being able to sell things in the selling forum or maybe only Premium Members can have more than 3 selling threads a month? Let's face it...

    Hi, Do you have a pic of this?

    The ultimate OOPS! Probably killed all my corals

    The other thing you might consider is a grouding probe. Six or seven years ago I was having problems with my corals opening up. I tested everything. Then I posted up and Mucho Reef recommended a grounding probe. Of course, I thought he was crazy. About 3 weeks later I decided to get one and...

    Devastating Tank Tragedy

    It is hard to believe a year has gone by. It is great to see it thriving again.

    Vodka Dosing

    This is probably the best article that I know of that talks about it. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-08/nftt/index.php I have seen the results in person, I just don't know how feasable it is on such a small system as the one I want to use it on. I'm going to be using ozone on the tank...

    Aquarium stands opinions?

    Great woodworking skills. It's always nice to see setups like this. Can you just slide out the bottom so you can change sumps and get easy access to anything you want?

    Advice for breaking down and moving aquarium

    I would use RO water. Our local stores around here sell RO water for 50 cents a gallon and pre made saltwater for $1 a gallon. I would be willing to bet that even though the Olympia artesian well is clean it still isn't clean enough. Make sure you provide the beer AFTER the tank has been...

    Vodka Dosing

    ^^I knew that was coming. :) I can tell you if I do this and I lose some of the corals that I plan on putting in there then I will definitely be doing that. :)

    Vodka Dosing

    I set up a new small 25 gallon Ecoxotic LED tank 2 weeks ago. I put in dry rock that I cured for about 6 weeks in a well established system. It will be a totally mixed reef, to say the least. I am a firm believer in using ozone and have been doing it on every system I have had since I started...

    New to the Forum

    Welcome to Reef Frontiers. Congrats on the new set-up. I would recommend that you try and get as much of that hair algae off the rock when you are moving stuff over. I wouldn't take any more than one cup of the old sand/substrate and put all new sand in the tank. Too many bad things can...

    Remora

    I do agree that the CPR with the mesh mod should out perform the standard Remora. If you could get rid of yours and get that one for $50 then I would definitely do that.

    60 gallon frag system build

    Sorry about that. When I read that you were sealing the AC duct I thought you were talking about the AC from the furnace. We have an island an it has an AC duct in it. I don't know why they did it but they did. Now my feet freeze rather than my beer. :)

    Remora

    I used to have one on my 58 gallon breeder and I loved it. That being said, I am a HUGE fan of ozone so I don't know how it performs without it. It all depends on what your needs are and what you are keeping in the tank. For a softie only tank it should work just fine. On an sps tank, that...

    The best for my 65 G reef

    That is a shame. I was getting ready to compliment you on thinking outside of the box with your system. If you still have the Biocube I would just start from scratch and get a couple of corals and then start trading one at a time. Good luck in your decision.

    60 gallon frag system build

    Great looking build. Are you going to put an electric vent door in the stand so if your tank gets too hot it will provide cold air from your a/c? Similar to this one. http://www.nordfab.com/index.cfm/do/pages.view/id/65/p/1/page/Nordfab-Products~Diverter-Valves#automatic

    240 cube reef tank

    Nice tank. I like how you have different zones in your tank so you can have a great view from any angle. Poodle02 - Welcome to Reef Frontiers. Take it slow and easy and things will work out better.

    A little eye candy

    It is so refreshing to see people calling corals by their actual names rather than the ridiculous names that some reefers refer to them. As always, your corals always look amazing Kevin.
