    Lighting Times

    NC2WA is correct with regards to your temperature. You're within the preferred range. One thing to keep in mind however, is that it's winter right now, (Well, fall almost winter). You might want to get your chiller set up and see what it will pull your temp down to so that you don't have an...

    Clarion Angels!

    Eh....different people have different priorities. If you wanna spend your money on the fish, and you can take care of the fish, buy the fish. My experiences with expensive fish have not always been so great. I spend $500 on a pair of captive bred A.leukocranos (white bonnet clowns), and also...

    Lighting Times

    I generally run my lights between 8-12 hours a day. When I had MH's I ran them for about 8-10 hours a day. I was getting about a years worth of life per bulb. I did notice that I began to get color shift at 8-10 months if I ran them at 12 hours, so I cut down to 8-10 hours and began getting a...

    MadMax's Humble Mixed-Reef (photographs)

    More info on your system? How long has it been up and running? How long have you had the flame scallop and the Linkia Stars? What sort of special care do those critters require from you? What sort of equipment are you running on your system? It looks great! I love the nice clean lines of the...

    Rek, No where in my post do I advise J.Schroeder or anyone else to go elsewhere. I merely pointed out why the rules were enacted. I also pointed out that RF was started as an information sharing board primarily about the reef keeping hobby. The buying/selling portion of this board was created...

    No worries with that regard. Asking about the rules/circumstances doesn't cause an issue. I've found that if people have a better understanding of why things are happening, and realize that there really is a purpose behind the rules/situation, they tend not to get upset or misread a situation...

    Clarion Angels!

    They're kinda like the African Angels (Holacanthus africanus) to me..... The Juvi's look beautiful, but the adults are drab and not so attractive. The price of the Clarion's also makes them unattractive to me... ;)

    I prefer to look at it from a selfish perspective vs a business one. I want RF to continue existing. If Scott continuously loses money on the site because the sponsor's don't wanna pay to be sponsors, then we all lose.... If we enforce the 50 post/90 day rule and keep the sponsors and premium...

    pics

    Pics can be loaded as either attachments, (viewers need to click on them to see them and they are small size & quality) or the poster can host the images somewhere, (Like image shack etc) and then post the pics directly. Posting directly will require the image tags. Image tags look like this...

    J.schroeder, I understand your frustration with this rule. However, when you see it from the other side of the coin, it may make more sense. As Kirk already stated, this is first and foremost, a discussion forum. Craigslist, Ebay, and many other websites exist which are designed to be selling...

    Need some advice and assistance

    Long read, but bear with me: Is your tank drilled for both overflow and return? I see that you have a 1.5 inch overflow hole drilled in the tank, but didn’t see where you mentioned anything about a return hole. Personally, I prefer to go over the side for return plumbing. This allows more...

    Marine Ich and the 11 month "worn out" theory

    I always QT'd new fish to my system which had ich previously and never went through a fallow/fishless period. Never had any ich show up on new arrivals to the system, (Including a Powder Blue Tang hybrid) and would rarely see a spot or two on my Tomini Tang. This is anecdotal and based on...

    TriggerFish help

    Triggers are generally pretty aggressive eaters and not finicky....I know Lee Jungle used to sell a pellet that had a de wormer in it....Lee recommended it here several times in the past.... Might try looking for it. ETA - just looked for it...doesn't appear that they still make it.
