    SPS Frags on their side

    I do it sometimes. Mostly it depends on how I cut the frag and what kind of coral it is. IME birdsnest and catspaw corals do little to no encrusting before they grow upwards so I would never glue one on it's side. When I'm fragging Acropora's and Millepora's I glue tips upward, since they will...

    here the start of my 360 gallon build

    Nice clean install on your apex. I finally made a probe holder for my 210 after six years. I cant (wont) open and install my apex until Christmas day but I did grab my Orp probe and hooked it up to my AC III. I'm glad you are setting up all the internet now, so in two weeks I can PM you and...

    What's the pH in your reef..?

    When was the last time you calibrated your probe? IMO the older Neptune's are notorious for straying from true readings after about six months or so. Also, I was just reading something about probes only having a life expectancy of 2-3 years. My AC III has been reading 7.3- 7.5 all year and I...

    hole saw

    I gave all my glass drill bits to Rob at Red C since it is sooooooo much less stressful to let him do it. Rob at "A Red C" in Shoreline can drill your tank for you.

    acro power/feeding

    I've used amino acids in the past but its been years and I cant go into specifics. I do remember it as not being a real cheap product and it did have positive effects. IMO more water changes can be just as effective. Its real easy in this hobby to jump at every idea to make your reef better...

    My reef is cold!!!

    I have a couple more heaters if you need to borrow them until this cold snap is over. I also have a 1500 watt space heater if you think that would help. I'n not too far from you.

    My reef is cold!!!

    76-78 is good. I guess you're going to need to build some walls in your garage to keep the heat in. Or talk your wife into bringing the tank in the house.

    My reef is cold!!!

    I have three 250 heaters on my tank all year long. yesterday I noticed they were struggling to keep temps where I like them and I added a fourth 300 watt heater. Temps are holding steady 78 but the heaters have not turned off in three days. I'm wondering why your temp went from 72 down to 60...

    HELP - Tank is about to blow!

    I'd think this is the perfect opportunity to get a reef ready 180 72x24x24. I sold one on Craigslist last spring with stand and hood for $450

    Vortech mp40 or mp60 application

    I like a huge amount of flow in my SPS tanks. I'd go with the two 40's over one 60. You'll have more options that way.

    Whats on your Christmas tree?

    For years now. my wife, Robin and I have been collecting ornament for our tree and part of the fun of decorating our tree is remembering where some of them have come from and which year. These range in size shape and color of course. Some are simple Wal-mart balls others are hand blown glass...

    Funny, I've known Mike for years and know he wouldn't steer anyone in the wrong direction but that was my first thought too. :target:
