    Heat and Lighting Questions

    81.5 degrees isn't a big worry. It's more the swings in temp you'll want to watch. Yes fan blowing on the water will help. Your evaporation will definately increase though. The other thing is do you have a/c in your home? If not you will probably need a chiller come summer time. I know that...

    Salt Creep Eliminator

    Hello, I know there is a product or two on the market that are supposed to eliminate salt creep. I would like to know what these are and if they are reef safe. My tank has 2 large 3/4" thick glass braces that go across the top of the tank. I would like to put some salt creep eliminator on...

    How many gallons do you lose a week?

    I'm going through 2 1/2 gallons a day with my 230. It used about half of that before I added my larger sump. This new sump with a built in fuge has really inreased evaporation rate.

    Calcium Inhibits Coral Growth

    Ouch my head is hurting. This is going against everything I've read and heard. I'd really just like to know what parameters to run my tank at. Is that really too much to ask :) So where are you recomending to run all these levels PH included as it is looking like PH is a bigger key than what...

    dragon face pipefish

    Are you guys getting the ORA pipefish that are suppose to be trained to eat prepared food? I have 2 pipefish and they are a wonderfully happy couple. One will eat frozen brine shrimp and the other one must be surviving on pods in my rock.

    Whidbey Island is too far for me to drive and I was really looking forward to this fragapaloosa!! I'm a fragging scaredy cat. Is there any way we can webcast or record this?

    Hi, Where do I start?

    Well first off you came to the right place. First step is to start reading and searching this forum. Second you will need to decide what you want to put in your tank. Do you just want fish? do you want corals? How many of each would you like? Once you've answered this you can pick out a size and...

    How long before fish could be added

    Marlin, It'll be a bit shorter than a new tank cycle but you are going to have a cycle. My quess is 4 weeks, but you're still going to have to treat it as a new tank. Darrrell

    Digital SLR really neccesary??

    It's been a long time since I used an slr. I was pretty good with one in high school. I know there will be a steep learning curve. But the nice thing is now you can practice all you want without burning up tons of expensive film :) I'm assuming a tripod is highly recommended?

    Digital SLR really neccesary??

    This is probably a 2 part question. 1st: Is a digital slr really neccesary for taking good coral pictures? 2nd: If the answer above is yes, is there really any good or bad brand of camera to buy? There are a number of people on here who just make me sick with their awesome pics of their...

    Mechanical filtration (other than skimming)

    Filter socks for me as well (7"diax14"long). Change them once to twice a week. I only have 6 or 7 but am working my way up to 15-20 just to make washing them less wasteful. Works really well for me :)

    Poll on people who dose or have reactor

    I have a calcium reactor that I will be installing this week. I will be adding mag media in it as well. I have never dosed, but now I see my tank is using more than just water changes give.
