    There was a whopping 3 of us. Yes, that is Grant.

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Wow Alberto. I knew the skimmer was big, but 42 gallons... that thing really is a MONSTER. I would not want to be a DOM in your system!

    Myths....?

    Can't say I've heard that one before, but either way, it certainly isn't true. I wonder what the reasoning behind that one would be to make people think it was true.

    air skimmer for 300g setup

    It looks like it is getting the job done well. Did you ever change the placement of the stones to horizontal or are you still running them vertically.

    air skimmer for 300g setup

    How is the skimmer doing? How about a new pic of it in action?

    Myths....?

    I agree, they can cause nitrate levels to rise but this isn't due to them trapping detritus. This is thoroughly explained in the bio-balls thread in this forum.

    :lol: I guess you will just have to take my word for it. :p

    Myths....?

    Here is a myth that I'm not sure if everyone will agree with me on because people have always disagreed whenever I post it. That is the myth that bio-balls collect detritus. I have kept reefs for 5 years and I've used bio-balls for more than 3 of them. I am using them now in a FOWLR. My...

    High Energy SPS Tanks

    Unfortunately, it is a common misconception that the sps corals are extending their polyps just for feeding. Polyp extension in sps corals is actually more related to "breathing". When the lights go out, photosynthesis stops and CO2 levels increase. When you get an sps coral shipped to you it...

    Pinched Mantle

    Unfortunately, this is sounding exactly like the FW dips. I performed MANY FW dips on my clams and it always came back in 1-2 weeks. It is hard to remember exactly from reading this whole thread but, IIRC, there has only been 2 people that have had success with the metronidazole. One was...

    High Energy SPS Tanks

    If I could run it 24/7 I would but it makes a big difference in how much my chiller needs to run and my electric bill, especially during the summer months. Running it intermittently works but 24/7 is best if you can. When it kicks on it blows all the detritus off the bottom and there is a...

    High Energy SPS Tanks

    For flow on my 280 I have 2 Sequence 5800's on CL's, 1 Stream 6200 and an Iwaki 100 for the return. My main circulation CL runs only while the lights are on. My spray bar CL runs for one hour per day to clean the bottom and keep the detritus suspended long enough to be eaten or removed by the...

    More Jidz Babble

    1)It could be done but the pump would have to be primed, meaning there would need to be water already in the intake tubing all the way to the pump. 2)heater, light, powerhead, and some piece of pvc for fish to hide in.

    Heinz, if you happen to have a link to the thread where Deltec Europa said that I would love to see what they had to say.

    ZEOvit. Lets talk

    Heinz, but I thought it was recommended for those going in or coming off zeo should do it slowly to let the corals adjust. Otherwise, there could be same bacteria fluxes and algae blooms. With this stuff going on, I'm guessing it wouldn't be the best for the corals. Who knows, I just like to...

    ZEOvit. Lets talk

    Excellent tanks invinc, G.Alexander, and ggjeff. This thread has been great so far. I've learned so much more from it than all of the controversial zeo threads on a couple other forums that I followed, which were always shut down and rarely did any good information come from them. Reading...

    Pinched Mantle

    That doesn't suprise me. It probably didn't take that long to actually "infect" the other clams. I'm guessing they were infected within the first day or 2. It took a little longer for the protozoan to reproduce on the clam to a population large enough to start irritating the clam and causing...
