    Vortech powerheads Noise level

    Right now the ecosmart software only recognizes the LED's. I just go two MP10w es and accordIng to what I read the light picks up the wireless signal, the software just does not yet display it. I have not been in the room for a lightning storm, but my wife thought the pumps might be synced. You...

    Going Bare Bottom

    My new tank in progress is bare bottom. I picked up 1/2 starboard with the uv protection. The point of the starboard is to keep the rocks off the glass bottom of the tank. It's important to silicone the edges so to prevent detritus from dropping into the gaps and getting below the board. A bare...

    South Club revvival??

    Thats the nice thing about our vision. If you don't like it, don't come. It's not a club to learn about how to make a look down box, or two snag a 10% off at a few select stores. It's about b.s.ing, having a few drinks, chowing down on some grub and sharing experiences. If that's not for you...

    Thoughts on an octopus tank

    chelseagrin, I'd suggest you heed your own advise... As for your doubt that Steven has ever kept an octopus, have you? Lets see some info in regards to your successful housing an octopus. If you are simply reciting info you read off live aquaria, you shouldn't be speaking as an expert. Its...

    Aku's 48x48x20 irregular hexahadron

    Your are right. You know everything. Good thing you are always posting advise for everyone else. *******. Keep your mouth shut about my tank. You don't know the situation because fortunately I've never had to speak to you. My tank is FAR nicer than yours full of dead corals. So shut up...

    Aku's 48x48x20 irregular hexahadron

    Boiled rock isn't the doesn't do anything to maintain the balance. Rock with no benificial bacteria, along with no sand and fresh saltwater is going to create an ammonia spike as soon as the fish go to the bathroom. I'm sorry to hear about your personal livestock, but you should have found...

    Anyone see the teaser for Tanked on Animal Planet?

    After the first episode aired, with the gal screaming about the blacktip lots of people rushed to YouTube. I had a lot of views that weekend. Google pays me a few pennies a day since I allow them to advertise with my videos. This show may end up buying me a case of beer! HaHa! My opinion is...

    Glass seam strength question

    I have a question regarding the strength of my tank. It's an AGA 210 with dual overflows. I live near some train tracks. When some trains go by, it can shake the whole place. My tank has been fine and its certainly not enough of a shake to cause the tank to sway. The rock however, does...

    DIY Phosban reactor? Anyone got plans?

    I picked up one at Bulk reef supply. $39.99 and it's far nicer than the two little fish ones. No leaks, no cheap fittings and includes all the plumbing parts.

    Question regarding upgrade to the VorTech

    It's done! I ordered 2 more 6100's. So I'll have four total. They will be here in about a week. Thanks for all the input everyone. Maybe someday the mp60's will come down in price and I'll get two!

    Question regarding upgrade to the VorTech

    I don't want to have a mix-match setup. All tunze or all vortech.

    Question regarding upgrade to the VorTech

    Hey I was wondering if anyone could give me some input here. I currently have two Tunze stream 6100's and a 7095 controller. The Tunze 6100 is at max 3,170gph. I have one in each corner of the tank and have them running from 60% up to 100%. Things have grown in and dead spots have developed...
