    Looking for local Reef stores

    I always like going to the Fish Store in Seattle and laugh at how ridiculously overpriced and mis-identified their stuff is.

    Wish me luck

    Good luck Brett! I've wanted one of those for quite some time now, but am too afraid of getting a Tang. Did you still have that blue Hippo in your tank as well? Jeff

    Please Help with Zoos

    Hey Greg, I have a pink colony that started rotting away, and I just pointed a powerhead at it. I lost about half the colony, but it seems to be recovering the past couple of weeks. There hasn't been any die-off since then. Hope this helps! I know it doesn't for everyone. Jeff

    Going shopping.

    Hi Jim! Welcome to Reef Frontiers! Since you will be in Tacoma, I would highly recommend Indoor Reef. They are pretty kowledgeable, have great customer service, and on top of that have a neat little shop that, if I were closer, I would definitely frequent more! Their website is: Indoor Reef...

    Switching from PCs to MH HELP!

    Well, there are no other inhabitants in the tank right now besides a few snails and hermits. I'm going with the photoperiod of starting at 2 hours and slowly extending the time over the next 3-4 weeks. I have the clam on a half clam shell on the substrate right now, but may move him when he is...

    Switching from PCs to MH HELP!

    Thanks Mike! Would it be too much of a shock for the clam? Is there a chance of it bleaching from too much light? Thanks! Jeff

    Cheapskate Chilling Techniques

    No doubt! I have a 10g nano in the bedroom with a fan constantly blowing on that one as well. while my fiance and I are roasting in our condo, those 2 tanks are at around 78-80 degrees! With the upcoming heat wave expected to hit w. washington, I'm more than likely to buy a dedicated fan for...

    Cheapskate Chilling Techniques

    I've been using that same fan from Target! The only thing is that you'll have a lot of evaporation! Jeff

    Metal Halide question

    I am planning on using a 70W HQI 10K USHIO LAMP with a 70W an aromat electronic ballast for a 10 gallon nano. Where can i get UV glass? How much would it cost for the glass and to have it cut? How high should I have it off from the top of the tank? Thanks! Jeff

    Metal Halide question

    I'm seriously considering getting metal halide bulbs, but was wondering what are the advantages/disadvantages of using 10K MH bulb with actinic PCs or T5s or just going with a 20K MH bulb with no PCs or T5s? TIA! Jeff

    H.O.T. Magnum

    Scott, Thanks for the info. Have you ever just tried using live rock in it as for filtration, like how they do in sumps? Thanks! Jeff

    H.O.T. Magnum

    Anyone have any experience using one of these on a reef tank? I don't have the room for a sump, and have been using an emperor 280 for my 46 gallon. I got a HOT Magnum yesterday because someone gave me a gift certificate to Petsmart, and there really isn't any marine stuff there. I was...
