    What salt mix are SPS-ers here using?

    I currently use RC but am thinking of giving BW new salt a go.

    Time for an Update Well here we are. The Aquarium went live with salt and a limited live rock the end of May. It took nearly 3 months to make it through the Diatom Bloom that I had related to using the Reef Ceramics. I love the look and the flexibility that using the Reef Cermics products...

    Skimmer on gravity feed

    not a bad idea :) I have a reef dosing pump and I did order the liter meter III for the tank. I may do some back up thing though to keep it from over flowing anyway.

    Skimmer on gravity feed

    It has been a long road. I started thinking about the Top off and all the different things I have used in the past. I really do not like float switches because I have had some negative outcomes from using those. I have used the a reef dosing pump with good reults so last night I ordered...

    Skimmer on gravity feed

    thanks Krish. It is full steam ahead after the electrician comes on MOnday. I am leaning towards ordering the quarantine set ups this next week. I am going with 2 tanks 36x24x12 for that.

    Skimmer on gravity feed

    This was inspired by some readign I did last year in a forum moderated by Anthony Calfo. I wanted to get raw water from the tank to my skimmer and get teh most out of it. A friend of mine came up with this simple solution and it is working great...

    Video Update on tank build

    Been at this a long time :) now (since 08/05) but things are coming to a close. The basement came out great and the tank is looking darn good. Rather than the same old pics I thought I would do some live action. I started the plans for this two years ago and to be so close is nail bitting...

    new tank

    That is what I figured to. No need to pay for the watered sand LOL

    new tank

    The sand came dry not the live sand that they sell. I am thinking of using some kits from inland aquatics and Tigger Pods from Reeds Reef to inoculate the sand bed with. I am doing to get the nassarius snails and some micro hermits for this tank when it is up as well. Would also like some...

    new tank

    The Sand is Fiji Pink from Carribsea. I am hoping as well not to have a mess. I had a surge tank and twin 6080's in my old 180 without a problem so I hope things are ok :) The ball valves and fitting were bought through an online dealer. www.savko.com I have a little over 200.00 sitting in...

    MOrgan I still have my first born :) but it was a chink of change. I have spread this cost out over 18 months so it has not been terrible. The carpet and flooring are going in this w\next few weeks.

    new tank

    I understand now why you're referencing holes :) The original aquarium was going to have closed loop holes drilled through the back :).... The tank builder was unable to build this tank at a reasonable cost for me so I went with another tank builder who was local (glad I did too). In all the...

    Thats OK :) I might buy a Euro-reef for my frag / QT system LOL I have a Deltec HOT but that may be used elsewhere and ER is reasonable enough in terms of price for this application
