    Icecap MH ballast trouble.

    The wire looks burnt? Was it touching the reflector? It may just be from heat off the reflector in which case you can just snip that section of wire and make sure it doesn't touch the reflector. If it wasn't, it sounds like the ballast may be sending too much juice out for the wire and it go...

    SRV's 300 gal.

    How tall is your stand? Does the tank sit eye level when you're sitting down? I like the mixed reef, you've got some pretty impressive softies in there along with those clams. Those look big in that big of a tank, they must be huge.

    Icecap MH ballast trouble.

    How old is the ballast? If it's past it's warranty, you might still be able to send it to icecap and they can refurbish it. I've never had an icecap, but it sounds like it is tripping off from heat. Try putting a fan on it to see if that makes a difference. On a side note, is this hooked...

    New Vortex Mp-10

    I would get the mp40w myself. People suggest 50x turnover, but I'm sure the 30x would be enough. Before I got my mp40w, I only had 27x and didn't have any issues. The main reason I say go with the mp40w is if you do want more flow, you don't have to go buying another pump. Another thing...

    skimmer question

    Really, my scribbled is pretty nice for the most part. Johny, Luke is correct on everything he posted. That is an awful lot of fish for that size tank and it's also not a lot of live rock. Get yourself an overflow box or drill the back of the tank and setup a sump. Don't drill the bottom...

    is it just me or this is sort of kewl

    Seems a bit gimmicky. I don't know, having a 10k/20k that closely together, you're not going to see a definite difference in the color. The 2 colors are going to blend together which won't get you a 15k color. If you wanted to get the 2 sections the same color, then you can get a cheaper bulb.

    need id on this

    So did you recently feed? Just because you've never noticed it before doesn't mean it won't do it.

    need id on this

    Mucous. Did you just put the coral in the tank recently or did you feed recently. I'm sure there are other reasons, but that's the two that I've seen for a coral to do this.

    skimmer question

    You don't need a sump. Is it easier if you have one? IMO, yes, but it's not necessary. What do you plan on keeping for livestock, softies, LPS, SPS? If you don't plan on using a sump, using a CPR bakpak like this...

    what point to change carbon

    I use the regular carbon from bulk reef supply as well as one of their reactors. If you don't have a reactor, definitely get either the single or double reactor from them. I have a single cause I don't run GFO, but I'm thinking of buying another one so I'll have one for the carbon and one for...

    Where to get Base Rock?

    The Tampa Bay stuff looks pretty darn nice. I don't know if you looked at the link of it, but here it is. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1632368&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 After looking at it, I'd be leaning toward getting it. Not only does it look good, but it's...

    Do I njeed this?

    Personally, I would go with 2 of these. http://www.petmountain.com/product/aquarium-water-pumps/512724/koralia-2-600-gph-9-watts-.html If you buy today, you can use the 5% off and save a little cash also. Koralia pumps are very good and you're getting more flow for the same price. Also...
