    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    clam pics Okay, here are clam pics taken through the viewbox. They both have that green edge. These have only been cropped and resized--no other PS adjustments. Oops, sorry Nikki--I didn't take a pic of the viewbox. It's just an acrylic pan--a couple of inches deep. It floats on the...

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    Actually the color of the clams is pretty accurate, but it does seem highly saturated--not sure why. I got my viewbox last night and that blue clam has an incredible green edge all the way around it--I have to figure out how to get a pic of that!

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    I'm disappointed in these pics, but I'm so excited about the zoos I'm going to post them The colors are accurate, but the stars don't show up very well in the second shot--bad camera angle

    How'd you find us?

    I'm a little late on this, but as I recall, I had found the PSAS coral ID pages via google and had been using them quite a bit, when Nikki pointed about to me that there was more to the site than that....doh :rolleyes:

    FIRE!!! Yikes!!!

    Curt, I'm so sorry that happened to you, but very happy it wasn't worse. I worry about that all the time. I'm almost OCD about it--checking that the coffee maker, dryer, etc are off when I leave the house. I've even driven the 20+ miles back home from work a couple of times because I'm...

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    Thanks everyone. I'm not really happy with the other tanks photos I took, but I do want to post a couple of coral pics. (I really need to use my tripod). The first one is a pocillopora, but I'm uncertain as to whether it's a meandrina or a eydouxi. Either way, it was completely brown when I...

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    :lol: My tank was 1 year old on September 10th and I bought it new lights for its birthday. I've attached a tank shot with the new lights installed - Sunlight Supply Reef Optix III pendants, Blue Wave ballasts, and 250w AB 10k DE bulbs. I removed 2 of my VHO tubes so I now only have 220w...

    New Project - skimmer

    Okay I checked out the DIY venturi thread--very cool and way beyond my DIY capabilities. So I'm wondering if I could use a venturi like this: http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=KENT-TVEN5&Category_Code= I checked out the Mazzei venturi's--very...

    New Project - skimmer

    Don, Don, Thanks for the info. I'm going to be a bit of a pain and ask for some specifics because I really want to try this. I believe the tiny holes are in the tube that the airline attaches to and a venturi is a tube that narrows in the center and this "narrowing" creates a rush of...

    Metal Halide Bulbs/Spectrum

    Becky, You've got a great set up and unless you want more a blue look, you should be happy with the 10k bulbs. Everyone has covered the technical side of this thing, so just let me say, I have 2 - 250w DE over a 90 gal and I'm keeping clams and sps. I recently switched to the HQI from...

    Salt the question, once again!

    Scooterman, I used IO for a couple of years and supplemented to raise the low levels of calcium and magnesium. I had decided to switch to Oceanic, but when I went to Premium Aquatics to buy it, they were out (Nikki had bought it all :( ) So, I bought Kent and I am extremely happy with it and...

    Falling pH - Humidity a factor?

    Hey Mike is this where I sign up as a "mojogroupie"? Aren't you glad I don't live on the west coast :cool: :lol: I have a Turboflotor 1000-can I do that with that skimmer? So I guess you guys think the high humidty was likely the cause?

    Falling pH - Humidity a factor?

    My calcium reactor clogged and was shut down for 2-3 days early last week. My pH started falling (less than 8.0 during photoperiod) and I thought it was because the cal reactor was down for a few days and my params were out of whack. First I calibrated my pH monitor (I could hear Mike in my...

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    Thanks very much :) In my own defense I have to point out that it's really hard to post when your nose is pressed against the glass :lol: :lol:

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    Last photo--this is an overall of the system. It's hard to get a good shot because the foosball table is in the way. I still need to finish the cabinet under the counter top and I hope to expand to the right this winter. :D I want to build an oak stand (to match) with a 40 gal tank at eye...

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    Nikki it's really hard to get a good shot of that millepora--it's just too far from the front glass I guess. This granulosa is my favorite although it's been a very slow grower

    Katrina's 90 gallon Reef

    I especially like these comparison photos of my blue tort. The first one is at purchase in January 2004 and the second one is 8 months later (now)
