    recharging chillers

    FWIW....PLEASE don't use propane to re-charge ANY refrigerant system, unless that system was designed and labled to be used with propane. I work with automotive refrigerants every day and aside from the fact that you can severely damage if not ruin someones multi-thousand dollar piece of...

    Changing MH bulbs

    Lower your frag rack for a couple of days and gradually raise it back up over the course of a week or so. Chances are you'll see a little bleaching/browning initially, but you'll reduce the effects dramatically by lowering it initially. You can also shorten your photo period.

    HR-669

    Thank you for that NC2WA. I can understand the goals and intentions of the bill, and I agree in-part with a lot of what it wants to achieve, but as Sid has stated the means by which it intends to achieve it's purpose leave a lot, if not everything to be desired. I would probably support a...

    Some pics from today

    G&N I might just have to cut you a head of my super duper neon green candycane to go int there. Looks like it would be a good fit with what you already have!

    Check out this Coral Propagators site

    Wow....think of the impact a large scale multi national project could have on saving a lot of reefs. Not to mention the impact it could have on coral farming. Very cool indeed.

    cabon in sump

    I use 3 of the phosban reactors too. One for Carbon, one for Phosguard, and one for a de-Nitrification media.

    T-5 blues

    Either the geissman, or the UVL 454. Both are REALLY blue.

    Crazy blue zoo prices

    lol, if they would've put rare in front of it, they might have been able to price it in the $700+ range! Morgan brings up a good point, when does something become aquacultured? As soon as I cut a frag off of the colony that has been in my tank? What about if I just stuck it in yesterday? Or...

    Considering some Lionfish

    I would stick to dwarf species in a 75g, remember that an adult volitans can get up to about 15". Antennatas are nice and only grow to be about 8", or Fu Man Chus which will stay in the 4" range. I have a juvinile Antennata and an adult Fu Man Chu in my reef and they do quite well even with my...

    Do you use any man-made rock in your tank?

    I use a lot of Lace rock....about 50%, but no man made.

    Crazy blue zoo prices

    I get your point, totally, like I said, I guess I'm just in a bad mood today. BTW what other items does Tubbs aquaculture? I've never heard the name associated with anything but Zoos?

    Crazy blue zoo prices

    So, if we're going to get particular and say that they're not tubbs blues because they aren't aquacultured from the man himself, does that mean that once I grow the colony out and begin to frag it I can call them Double J's Blues and command a $25 per polyp price tag for them? Do they revert...

    Crazy blue zoo prices

    I can tell you that they are not the actual aquacultured tubbs, but for color reference sake they are "tubbs blues". Get what I mean? Sorry about the crappy pic, was in a hurry last night.

    Crazy blue zoo prices

    Just an FYI I just bought a rock with about 20 Tubbs Blue Zoos on it from Blue Sierra for $25! They've got a bunch left, and a bunch of what I believe are tidal something or other blue Paly's that I've seen locally going for $50 per polyp. They've got good sized colonies of them for $59-$79.

    designing pro equipment, what do you want???

    Stopped by and saw the setup today Mark...looking good man. Can't wait to see it up and running.

    Goodies for you!

    that cyphastrea is AMAZING, I have a frag of it in my tank from that colony and it's growing like CRAZY! Georgeous blue/green base with dark orangy red polyps. That pic doesn't do it justice.

    pump for a simple closed loop

    I run a Reeflo Hammerhead with 2" piping and 10 outlets on my 240 and to be honest I'm still considering adding a second Hammerhead to get my overall flow closer to 50x. A single dart on a 300 isn't even going to get you to 20x, so unless you're keeping mostly softies I would suggest going with...
