    Let's Talk About ~Refugiums~

    Beer good. (grunt) If you have separate sections, the skimmer shouldn't be affected. You want the majority of the raw water to go right into the section where the skimmer is. The lesser amount of nutrient rich water will feed the livestock in the refugium, and the plants will pull out what...

    Let's Talk About ~Refugiums~

    If you want to call it a drawback, putting the refugium in the center of the sump does not allow you to control the GPH flowing through it. So if you have a monster pump and tons of flow going through the sump, that same flow goes through the refugium. I had a sump set up that way under my...

    Okay, here are the 13 megs worth of pictures. I did break it up over 6 pages, so it shouldn't be too bad for y'all. I still need to edit 5 brief videos, and will add those to the Cool Stuff page later. MACNA XVII

    That Deltec tank and equipment sold for roughly $60,000. I met the new owner, and he was very pleased with his purchase.

    Alright...Here we go!

    Krish, I'm glad you are happy with that skimmer. It really is a good design.

    Um... ASAP doesn't mean "next week," Eric. More like "within the hour." ;) I hope the threatment works out for you.

    Pictures of new AquaC EV120

    If you shine down a flashlight through the reaction chamber where the bubble occur, you'll see an internal horizontal baffle running parallel with the top of the black box. I tried to keep the water "boiling" right at that baffle. This is about 1" below the top of the black box. The foam...

    Update on tank (Aug 27,2005)

    That can work if the cup is sealed. I'm almost certain AquaC makes one for their line of skimmers.

    Update on tank (Aug 27,2005)

    I didn't relialize you were going to run it externally. Keep a very close eye on it so that it doesn't overflow and provide an exit for the water in your tank. This does happen with external skimmers. If you happen to have an auto top off system hooked up, it will continue to try to replenish...

    Update on tank (Aug 27,2005)

    Where is your skimmer going to fit into all that? Charcoal is for grilling, Carbon is for filtration. ;)

    Alright...Here we go!

    Hi Krish, I like that background too, and look forward to seeing how you like it 6 months from now or longer. I'm very curious how it will hold up in saltwater, and with coralline growing on it. You'll like the EV-120. Let me know if you have problems getting it running. It needs to be set...

    Pinched Mantle

    Hey Mike (still love your DIY tank that you posted so long ago!) The crease in the mantle has been on and off for a long time. I've had it since it was a baby, more than a year now. Here it is originally, in a 55g reef. http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/0504/baby_maxima.html It is now closer to...

    Pinched Mantle

    Hi Guys. I was referred to this thread because I believe my tiny maxima may be suffering from PM (pinched mantle - not Private Messages) as well. Also, there are these lines running through the mantle that seem to correlate with the shell's opening, such as when the clam closes quickly and...

    Let's Talk About ~Refugiums~

    One way to keep your refugium clean is the stir up the water well when doing a water change. Get that "mud" out of there with each water change. I just pump out the muddy water, and replace it with clean water. And occasionally, stir it up so the detritus flows back into the display late at...

    I keep my fish fat and healthy. I prefer it to thin fish covered in Ich. ;)

    Top Down shots

    Here are two frags that have been growing for about 4 months. One is a humilis, the other a millepora (on the right). The puddling effect of the corals is normal, but soon it will touch and then the warfare begins. Alveopora from above. Yes, this would be impossible in a Nano tank, but...
