    seeking other opinions.

    Your aquascaping looks pretty well opened up; don't think reducing the amount of rock is the answer. Where exactly are the dead spots? If I was going to add two K4s to the mix there, I'd put them on the sides against the back down lowish (lower than the Korallia in the pic) blasting towards the...

    Yep, I'm swinging toward Galaxea now myself. Based mostly off this pic... http://www.topreefs.com/gallery2/d/745-2/Galaxea.jpg

    Green Star Polyps? Can't quite tell if that's skeleton I'm seeing toward the bottom

    brands of retuurn pumps

    My opinion- Mag12 through 1" PVC. Only because I've used them in the past and know that I liked them. I'd steer away from the Mag18 if noise is an issue as there's a big difference in noise with the Mags once you go above the 12.

    Co2 regulator died

    I agree with plack, for the same reason.

    120g sps/lps build

    Also, I run a 120 with (2) 250watt MH and (3) 24watt T5s; the chiller is a good idea, especially in FL. This is the chiller that I run...

    120g sps/lps build

    I wouldn't put too much weight on weather or not the fixture has built in moonlights. They are easy and cheap to add on later. I'd lean more toward trying to figure out which one of those two has got the better reflectors; don't have any experience with either of those myself, but I do know that...

    Based on the pic, I'm thinking Holley Double Pumper, 750 CFM

    easiest way to clean acrylic check this out!!!!

    So am I the only one that can't get mine to go around a corner in my tank without the Magic Eraser floating out. It's been working great for several months now, but I do have to put my hands in the water every time; and as Don said, it's not totally without a price.

    Warner K2 or Vertex / Royal Exclusiv Alpha Cone 200

    I don't know about the skimmers you mentioned, but I can say that I've recently converted a sicce powered skimmer to an askoll pump and it is the best thing I've done reef-wise in years. I can't say enough about how much better the laguna askoll pump performs over the TWO sicces it replaced...

    Stupid questions

    http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-05/sh/feature/index.php Good read on calcium reactors. Kalk reactors sort of have the same end result as with the calcium reactor- higher calcium carbonate level in the water. they go about it in different ways. Some people use both; it really depends on...

    Looking to purchase refractometer

    All this talk of recalibration got my ears perked; so this morning I checked mine (after searching for an hour for the cal solutions), and it was still dead on after two plus years of use. Woo hoo!

    stunning reef tank....

    I read the write up, and didn't catch the age or build time of the system. I may have missed it though.

    stunning reef tank....

    That's truly extraordinary! Thanks for sharing it. I can't even imagine having a tank so vast that I wouldn't mind watching the angelfish munching on corals.

    when i thought I have seen it all,,clown killed by aptaisa!!!

    That's a real bummer. Sorry to hear it. I don't think I've ever heard of that happening before; a bit bizarre, but at the same time, not bizarre at all. Frickin devil aptasia!

    ahh sump leaking!!!

    Tough call on resealing it; I'd have a hard time trusting it if one seem failed already. That's just me though. You definately got lucky this time, ehy push your luck. Do you have room for a Rubbermaid Brute tub? No seems, no leaks (except bulkheads of course)

    Looking to purchase refractometer

    I dunno, I believe that there are some refracs out there that are not designed for saltwater, they're for measuring the sugar content of wine, juices; and I've seen them peddled as being acceptable by unscrupulous vendors. Here's the one I have, it works just fine and not grossly expensive-...

    Help! Damsel acting weird.

    That was my next guess. If it is ich, the best treatment is to get the fish out of the tank and into a quarentine tank where you can treat them and leave the display tank fishless for eight to ten weeks which will break the lifecycle of the ich. Otherwise you can remove all the invertebrates...

    Help! Damsel acting weird.

    What size is the aquarium? Also, how old and what brand are the test kits you're using? My first guess was amonia spike, based on the age of the tank, but your kit is showing zero. What type of water movement do you have around the surface of the water? (is the surface being agitated for oxygen...
