    Filefish

    I have to say, i've had a file fish for 6 months now, and I love him. He is ugly to be sure, but he LOVES aptasia! I tried everything to beat them in my 120, kalk, hot water, etc but they just outran me. Not anymore, he cleaned up everyone of them, nothing left. He was without them for a...

    150gpd FilmTec RO membrane

    I believe it has to do with the input pressure, according to the stats on bulkreefsupply and the 75's only need about 50psi, whereas the 150's need at least 65, so you may need a boost pump, but I agree the more water the better... I haven't checked my psi yet..

    One way glass tank?

    I've seen electrically triggered opaque windows.. but the key to one way glass is bright on their side (done), and dark on your side.. Get a cheap space blanket and tape it to the front and give it a whirl...

    Lighting Philosphy...

    AC... That is one option I didn't look at, 20k's with daylight supplementation. So do you fire the CF's as morning/afternoon and the 20k's as day? What does your light schedule look like.

    How do you keep KH up?

    Magnesium is 1170, working on raising it as well.. Haven't tested strontium yet.. So does this continue on until I complete the periodic table.. ;) Currently i'm adding a little every day, sometimes spreading it over the day. I'd like to set up the doser so it does it at night without...

    How do you keep KH up?

    I have been working more with the chemistry in my tank lately since i've been around for the holidays. Normally my kh is around 8, and i've been trying to get it up to 10 or 11. I'm using the two part kit from Bulkreefsupply. If I neglect to add for even a day I lose about 1 kh. I've...

    Lighting Philosphy...

    So I am thinking of doing some lighting changes. I currently have 2 250W MH, and 4 VHO Actinic. I use a 10k and a 14k bulb. If you could start a new 120 gallon, 4x2x2 tank right now one with all of your thoughts in lighting what would you do? It's my understanding coral grows faster under...

    Mounting Acans

    How do you mount acans and how do they spread? Do they need a horizontal flat service? Will the grow out just as fast in a clump as being able to sprawl like a mat? I have several colonies that are growing but they are currently mounted on the original substrate and i'd like to put them...
