    Too many pods

    i wish i had your problem. if you have access to a mandrin for a few weeks i would try that (only if you can put him back in his larger and more long term system in the end). If not, i would just pat your self on the back for having such a good little system and move on. Considering the...

    Additives why and what?

    First, and most important. If you have the desire to watch things in your tank grow for years and years, you can't rely on luck. Some day your number will come up, and that will be it for your system. I know this because i rolled like this for 4 years. Now i am a changed man. What this means...

    Alternating Flow Benefits

    well i dont know anything about vortechs, but i know that alternating flow is good for your system. If for nothing else than kicking up and keeping detrius in the water so it can be filtered/skimmed out. I have my koralias, skimmer output, and sump return set up in a swirling pattern. it keeps...

    Water Test Kits

    in regards to frequency of testing. right now i test every three days for a few reasons. 1) i love testing, its fun, and it keeps me in tune with my tank. it lets me know when things are wrong or going wrong long before the slightest symptom pops up. 2) i want to set up automatic dosing, so it...

    Water Test Kits

    if you have more than 90 bucks invested in your system, you need a refractometer. I was in the process of cooking my tank once with a faulty swingarm crapomoter. Sell some frags, say no to that pretty blasto, and tell the tang to stay in the store for another month and buy a refractometer. I...

    Reeftopia group buy forming

    whatever you want, i can provide. when it comes to cash on pickup i work nights or mids (graves), so there may be a chance that things may need to be held in a sump/qt tank for a day.

    Whats your favorite LFS ?

    Salt Water City for the learning/corals King Ed's fish in vancouver (yeah yeah yeah i know...) for the fish. 3 dollar damsels, 9 dollar six lines (canadian), and other assorted next to free fish make it worth the drive.. not to mention the girl lives up there.

    i had a blue acro come in DOA about two weeks ago, been pretty sad about that as it would of made a fine addition. I am getting out of the military today and my funds are still up in the air (takes a little while to get everything sorted out for the final paychecks), but i would be interested...

    Just got my garf shipment in.

    ok, having a few rough die off problems with some of the frags, others are doing well. the woods polyps are jumping off their super glued rock and god knows what they are doing, between you and me it looks like they are croaking which is odd because they look so healthy up to the point where...

    Anyone have any frags for sale?

    I dont have anything to trade yet, hard to make a frag of a frag :badgrin: I am mostly looking for some neat looking zoas to color up the tank, they are by far my favorite kind of coral so far. I had a shipping order go nuclear last week and ended up with a dead acro and a pay pal refund, so...

    So i built my own stand for my FW 75

    you are more than welcome to use the design. lol comming from three generations of carpenters this is the best i could do :lol: but i just wanted something that could take a charging linebacker. If you take a close look at alot of the stands at the LFS you will be amazed at how flimsy and...

    Wtd Tank

    i wonder if making a custom acrylic or metal top would do it? its funny trying to explain to people how much that skinny cross brace on the top of long tanks does. its a hell of a risk fixing it though, uless you are 100% positive you got a good solution, especially once you invest a few grand...
