    politicaly correct

    If it is a fact that Ecobalance maintains tanks for profit, than this post really disturbs me. Testing water parameters IS the ONLY way to maintain stability in any system! To dismiss the importance of daily/weekly testing of various water parameters is reckless, to say the least. Stability is...

    Rowaphos, is really work?

    Also, Warner Marine has PhoSar HC. IMO, this product is better than Rowaphos.

    A question of ethics

    I agree Scooter, that is why I promote propagation. What I am referring to is people who are buying boxes of corals or colonies just to chop them, not grow them out and propagate them. There is a trend forming that is greed driven. I wanted people to be aware of it. Propagating corals is...

    Glass tank drilling

    Here is a good pic of drilling a 90g sump! Starting the bit is the hardest part...then just be patient and go slow! Tape the underside of the tank hole so the glass that is cut doesn't fall and chip/break the opposite pane of glass. Use the plumbers puddy for a water dam while drilling! Keeps...
