    Steel cages stimulate coral growth in Maldives (08/18/2009)

    Here I wonder why no one has hooked up a Wave Generator and or with solar to generate all electricity for free and just coral farm this way. One could see some of the local aquaculture places doing this say Pacific East or some other facility. Wonder why no-one yet has jumped on this as The...

    Sick Plate Coral?

    Kinda hard to tell But the height of the coral looks allot taller- Have you fed him small pc's of silversides or other meaty foods. If you use a turkey baster and lightly puff around it does the exterior change. It almolst looks like it caught a tiny fish or sompthing and ate it then expelled...

    Internal overflow box for 360g reef

    Wow 3 feet wide that souds nice. If you have your heart set on korrilas then try just 2 having one placed 3-4" below the top on the center of the right and left on timers every 10 minutes throw in a little flake and you should see a strong vortex. The key to it's strength is the speed along...

    Internal overflow box for 360g reef

    Are you coming to the frag swap the Psas is having on Sept 19th ? Also the top holes if cut with LARGE radius's in the corner's instead of the almolst sharp looking ones will give it more strength why risk a future crack from the stress points. Not exactly sure what the second smaller set of...

    Humphead wrasse, quite endangered species

    light question?

    "My tank is in a built in cabinet. There is 15 inches of clearence an a fan venting out the top." So is that like a canopy ? If so when a canopy is closed it can produce more heat than when left open or than a hanging pendant with a fan blowing the top of the tank. What do people in your local...

    CO2 Scrubber?

    Yes, I at one point had a refegium and still had low ph even with a stronger bulb. I eventually restarted my refegium and tweaked my reactors and added kalk and got up to 8.15 without the refegium doing much yet ! Low ph is why allot of people with Ca reactors run a kalkwasser reacator. And...

    CO2 Scrubber?

    Have you tried running a kalkwasser reactor 24/7. Have you tried dripping the effluent right into a cup with an airstone in it. Have you tried a second add on reaction chamber to your CA reactor . Try these first :-)

    CO2 Scrubber?

    I'll Tag along---But I think its proprietary--- Did they say patent pending for the media ?? I also agree at $30 a month (assuming you have a modern skimmer) for a minimal rise in PH financially it's to much.

    Lighting question

    "So on to the second question, are the stock ballasts included in the light systems pieces of junk?" Not necessarily--- I belive I said--- "You could end up getting good used electronic ballasts and pendants with used bulbs. Then buy some new bulbs." That would be because the BULBS, not the...
