    Lighting 30" Wide Tank

    I have angled the ROIII's in the past and it works great! I'm still curious about the performance of some of the new 400W ballasts...HQI and otherwise. What kind of amp draw are we talking about here for one of these ballsts versus a typical 250w ballast, like the Ice Caps that I use (they draw...

    Lighting 30" Wide Tank

    Ahh..Thanks for the feedback! I was curious if anyone had tried mounting these pendants in a perpendicular fashion; sounds like that may be the ticket! Scott

    Lighting 30" Wide Tank

    Hi Everyone: I'm in the design phase on my 225 SPS reef system. The dimensions are 72"x30"x24". I've been contemplating my lighting options for this system. Well, more like obsessing! I have used Reef Optix III pendants on my 24" wide tank with much success; I'm contemplating using 3 of these...

    Deltec Phosphate Test Kit

    Hmm... Nothing that a Deltec 702 skimmer won't take care of, Ted! Heh, heh! How many tests do you figure you'll get out of the kit? Mine didn't come in yet. Sounds simple and very accurate! BTW, Mtn Dew Man has a really neat idea! My understanding is that cyanobacteria has the capability to...

    Creating A Biotope

    I think that it would also be cool to develop a biotop system around a specific group of fishes; for example, a goby biotope, a Centropyge breeding harem, a cave environment for Assessors or Grammas...The possibilities are endless! Mike brings up a great point...You can try to replicate...

    Creating A Biotope

    Mac, we definitely will talk more about this! Ya know, Bob (Fenner) has a nice section on biotopes right on good 'ol Wetwebmedia that I stumbled on one day...Really good stuff with lots of pics- check it out! Catch you soon! Scott

    Coral of the Week ~ Cespitularia ~

    Yep- accidents happen! I'm sure that you'll struggle diving in Sunny Tropical Mexico! Have a great trip; stay under the water- but don't drink it! Scott

    Creating A Biotope

    You think I'm funny, Fishy- Dave has a 360 gallon SPS reef to provide "nutrient import" to support his prized Chaeotomorpha colony! Such dedication! LOL I'd like to see pics of some biotopes, too! It would be cool to see if someone tries a sandbed/seagrass biotope, with Syringodium and a...

    Creating A Biotope

    Yep- right now, I'm running an amazing Dictoyta/Bubble Algae biotope...Where's Paletta, huh? Scott

    Creating A Biotope

    Great thread, everyone! I'm curious if anyone has attempted a single species tank and "stuck to it", ie; resisted the temptation to add other species! I have always thought that it would be cool to have a Pocillopora biotope, with maybe two or three species from the genus....But to be quite...

    Calculating Amp Draw of Components

    Hi everyone: I'm in the process of assembling my new system (well- assembling the gear, at this point!), and I was curious how you calculate how many amps your equipment is consuming. In other words, how do you convert watts into amps? Is there a common formula? Any electrical brains would be...

    Coral of the Week ~ Cespitularia ~

    Antoine: Wanna laugh? A mutual friend (Lynne) had me "babysit" this "dying rock of some kind of Xenia" (and trust me- it looked pretty much like that- a dying rock rock), and, it turns out, I'm pretty sure it's a Cespitularia- a darn big colony, too. It's really starting to "bloom"...I'll try...
