    new tank

    SO I finalized the tank and the final dimensions are 60*42*24. I opted to reduce the Width a bit to help with maintaining it. It will be here in about three weeks!!

    coral vue e ballast

    I am buying these from a local reefer (the new style ballast) so I would not get a warranty with them. this is what has me more worried.

    new tank

    this will be an SPS reef. I want to keep it very open so it will be viewable from 3 sides. Iam going to do two rock Islands supported with milk crates to increase flow though and decrease the amount of rock needed. There will be a four sided cave in each (at varrying heights though) to give...

    coral vue e ballast

    I am setting up a 300 gallon (60/48/24) and have a local reefer who is getting rid of 2 400 ebalast (4 months old) made by coral vue. I am getting many conflicting stories that this is a bad company and they do not stand behind their products and will not warranty most things. I am also...

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    Well I ahve teh QT tank and a maxi jet 1400 for circulation. Using a 2-24 watt pc hood from CSL. I think that QT all teh acropora before they go into my tank is the best method. I have a bali slimmer frag in there now and no S/SX of redbugs!!

OUr plan is to set up an eclipse 12 gallon at teh science fair with water and live sand from our tank and rubble rock...

    wow! this is a departure from the mega high levels that we used to run! I will have to dial the reacotr back slowly. my alk is at 11 right now but I can start lowering it a bit.

    John Brancheau Slimmer

    so an alk near to 8 and ca near 380-400 is optimal now?

    What is it and how can I make it go away?

    Are you using R/O? If so get a TDS meter and check it. MAy be time to replace teh membranes if they are old./
