    how to take care

    I thought Florida had laws restricting collection of live rock (which is why we have to fly it in from Fiji and Marshall Islands). Maybe it only applies to commercial collection? You pretty much would have to scuba to collect rock from fringes of reef. After all, "live rock" really is coral...

    To Swirl or not to swirl

    I was doing some PVC work (building a return manifold for a Fish only tank) over the weekend and found a 1" elbow in the spare parts. I stuck it in the skimmer. It did create some swirl but it crashes into the side too hard sending bubbles straight up the side and I am thinking a 45 degree...

    To Swirl or not to swirl

    I just got my new ASM G3 skimmer this week and only had to stomp on it twice to jam it down into the sump. (just kidding, but it did barely fit). It is an upgrade for my reef system from the coralife needlewheel skimmer (their larger one). One thing I noticed right away was the Coralife one...

    I was SOOOOO happy before Reef Frontiers

    Am a new comer and agree it is a great site. My daily reads are the daily FAQ's at wetwebmedia and here. I'm still just a bit confused over which ones of the cute blondes is Krish. :idea: Or maybe the young one is a pic of her as a kid..... yep, bet that's it. But the dorky guy hasn't aged...

    Skimmer question

    ASMSkimmer.com has G3 for $242.99 I'm likely ordering one over the weekend. Maybe when it is the only thing you sell you can take a smaller margin?:badgrin:

    Long Range Weapons

    There is plenty of live rock in the display. I was just doubtfull that that would be enough to support the anemone and clown without an additional amount in the sump. A 20 gal sump is all I have room for if I am going to put that tank all on its own. So if ~40+ total volume will be too small...

    Long Range Weapons

    Since I'm trying to do it by the book (namely yours, hehe) I'll take your advice then and leave the plumbing like it is except for inserting the refuges. If I see any issues with nitrates from the FO tanks down the road then I'll have to rethink. With the 40 long for the lighted refuge I should...

    Why not distilled water?

    I've read some people's concern that commercial stills are often made of copper and so over time using commercial distilled water to replace evaporative losses could cause a build up of copper if using that. I dont know if the amount of metalic copper converting to ionic copper would be high...

    Long Range Weapons

    I've never been big on chronic carbon use (although I do have a bag in line from recent curing that is likely doing little now). I do use Polyfilter pads. Further note on plumbing since you mention it: will have a Mag5 returning to the 25 (via Anthony-style manifold). A Mag 7 will be pumping...

    Long Range Weapons

    anyone?... Bueller?....anyone? After posting I noted Anthony's post about being away to write new books. :) :D !!!YAY!!! :D :) Welcome thoughts of any other experienced folks. BTW I am thinking either bubbletip or sebea anemone, should have said that to start with. No commitments on specific...

    Long Range Weapons

    ANTHONY!!!! What a busy lad you are. I linked over here from WWM and now have 2 favorite sites. I am researching diligently for my new set up and have read your reef propagation book and NMA:invertabrates. Thanks for your hard work in both as well as moderating this section. I am reentering...
