This was my first year going to MACNA in Atlantic City. Loved every minute of it. Next year in Orlando I think it will be even greater. What's really neat is that the Marriott where it is going to be held is offering rooms at $99 a night and they also allow you to book the complete week (Tues...

Bridal veil works real well when attaching softies. Cover the softy with some bridal veil and secure it with a rubber band. Depending on what the softy is, you can usually remove it after about 2-3 weeks. You can get bridal veil at any fabric store for about $2 a yard.

I used appliance paint on my old 75 and it worked great. Most all Home Depots or Lowes have appliance paint.

A real quick answer to your questions would be STOP! Before buying anything more, do some detailed research on what you wish to accomplish with your tank. So many times in this hobby, we get into too much of a hurry and buy things we do not need. Trust me, I am speaking from experience here...

IMO that would not be enough flow, but then it appears that you do not have many corals in your tank yet. A vortech MP40 on each end of your tank would give you plenty of flow once you start growing corals. The nice thing about the MP40's is that their flow is adjustable and if you have two...

Okay, I got ya. I have heard that the new CRs come with a ph probe port but had forgotten all about it. BTW, don't get rid of your AquaController III. Darn nice controller. I just did when I upgraded to the Apex. Kicking myself in the butt now. Apex is a piece of crap right now but has...

Are you saying you are running ph at 6.78????? Am I missing something here?

BTW, I see you are from Bradenton, FL which I don't believe is all that far from Orlando. Well at least in my perspective. Orlando will be the site of the 2010 MACNA. I would really encourage anyone that is serious about this hobby to save up and plan to attend. It's a great learning...

No, I have not had any experience with the brand Rowaphos. I do run two Phosban 150Reactors, but as they are the Two Little Fishes brand, I stick to their product, Phosban. I don't think that one brand differs that much from another but I like to play it safe until I have time to research more...

IMO what you need to do is first decide what you want to have in your tank. Second, decide on a budget. Third, read, read, read, read. Make the search engine on this forum your best buddy. If you can't find it here, make google your next best buddy. And DON'T take anyone's advice as gospel...

Mine are positioned on the ends of my tanks. My opinion on flow is that you can never get too much as long as it is controllable, which is why I use Vortech. I believe I paid right at $200.00 for the MP10. I have a MP40 for my 215 that cost me $420.00 and I was lucky enough to pick up another...

I have 2 40gal breeders I use for my frag tanks and run a Vortech MP10 in each. IMO, one of those would get you everything you need.

I can relate! We took the train from Atlantic City to Philly 30th St. Station and then had to catch SEPA from 30th to airport. Both trains were DELAYED in the middle of the run. What should have been a 2 1/2 train rides turned into 4 hours. Event was great. Registered for Olando already!

Superglue (gel) works well, also. There is a nack to getting it to work under water but with a little practice it does really well. You have to make sure you break the skin it forms under water to get it to hold. Regards

The ballast you linked to on ebay is just that, a ballast. Does not come with a capacitor or ignitor. It is also an M81 which is a pulse start ballast. Pulse starts are good but have a limited supply of bulbs as probe start is the standard. Just my 2 cents. Good luck. Regards,

Do a search for Epoxy on MarineDepot's site. Tunze and Boston Aqua Farms have a product that I've used before with excellent results. Regards,

You may wish to give them a call before you come down and make sure they have the unit your looking for in stock. Their phone numbers are; Aquatic Dreams (Kevin) 509-228-9954 Aquarium Solutions (Barbie) 509-891-7050 Regards,

I'm guessing your clown was dead before the aiptasia got him and did not kill him.

I would agree with the Vortech MP40 as well. Very powerfull and well designed.

Go to google and search for 'reef aquarium setup photos' (without the quotes). That should keep you busy for sometime researching. Lots of info and lots of photos. You could also do a 'road trip' and come to the Tri-Cities the weekend of the 17th, 18th and 19th. The local Aquarium Club is...
