    Tunze Streams

    Krish I have 2 tunze's 6100 on a controller and I love them. My only complaint would be their mounting bracket. I finally got so frustrated with them that I bought the magnet mounts for both of them.

    Coraline algea

    The funny thing with the bulbs though is that the appearance is actually more yellow to the eye. I don't have a lux meter or have access to one to measure the actual par. My corals however seem to be doing fine under the new bulbs. Would it help if I changed my pc bulbs to all actinic? I...

    Coraline algea

    Until about a month ago I was constantly scraping coralline off my glass. My back wall, powerheads and overflow walls were covered in it. Now it has all turned green or else just gone away - the green stuff is hard to scrape but not like coralline that chips off. I am not getting any new growth...

    Back-up generators for the winter

    I live in northern British Columbia Canada in a rural area and know all about power outages that can last for days. I just went with the generator. I spent the extra $ and got a larger Honda that also runs extremely quiet and has an electric start. I think that when you live in a northern...

    New Tank - suggestions / criticisms?

    Welcome to another BC reefer! I have 2 maxijet 1200's in my 20g - it is a lot of flow for that size tank but it works for me. I have 2 tunze 6100's in my 230g and I much prefer the tunze as they give a lot wider flow than the maxijets do. The maxijets basically shoot out a narrow stream of...

    Big Black Crab

    Hey Skipper! Yes it does sort of look that that one but it seems that the legs might be hairier. It was pretty big though. This crab is in my existing 230g tank. I am still waiting to get my 190g that Mike did the plan for drilled and the plumbing done. I have all the plumbing parts that...

    What do you do?

    I do community relations for a major Canadian Oil and Gas producer. This involves working a lot with First Nation communities and a lot (about 100,000km/yr on my truck) of travel to remote areas. My territory covers Northeast British Columbia, Northwest Alberta and the Yukon and Northwest...

    Big Black Crab

    Thanks Nikki. Well I am going to try it tonight and see how I make out. I might even get really tricky and try both the hose and the pop bottle thing. The thought of pulling out 400 plus pounds of rock makes me tired and I'm not even sure I could do it with the coral attached to it and the...

    Big Black Crab

    Nikki how would you prop it open? Could I use a peice of PVC? Won't the fish tear the hose apart trying to get to the bait? Sorry for all the questions - just trying to picture in my mind how it would look. Ruth

    Big Black Crab

    Yikes - I just saw this guy in my tank. He is black and about 1 inch plus across on his body - front legs are smooth and shiney and other legs are hairy. I don't know if he's bad or not but I want him out. This is the first time I have seen him so I am not going to be able to just grab him -...

    Gas prices Whats yours?

    Try out ours at $1.20/litre ($4.90 a US gallon) and we suck it out of the ground up here - in fact I work for an oil and gas producer. The only good news is I will be able to keep financing my addiction (this hobby) with stock options as they have taken a real jump as well.

    Reverse Osmosis

    Well I can only think of one somewhat negative thing about RODI units and that is that they produce quite a bit of "waste" water that contains all the "stuff" that you filter out. That is what has kept me buying my water from a local water store. My problem with the waste water is that I...

    It's just not fair to post pictures like that! I can actually see the odd leaf already starting to turn color up here. And talk about wiping the smile off your face try diving into some of the higher lakes up here!!!!

    bubble king pricing?

    Thanks Madison. I have already been exchanging e-mail with him. Oh decisions decisions. It's just a lot of loot to lay out for a skimmer. No questions on quality or performance. It is definately cheaper to buy in Canada though with the exchange and shipping to consider.
