    Magnesium?

    I use the Bulk Reef Supply products and used their online calculators as initial guides for dosing. I then fine tune my dosing based on my regular water test results. g

    wtb 30" t5 lights need 4

    Welcome to Reef Frontiers! Can you provide an online link to your particular lighting fixtures? Also, what size tank do you have? Thanks, Gary

    Good Deal?

    Another option is to sell the current lighting and buy a T5 retrofit kit. I am in the process of setting up a standard 75-gallon tank and I have decided to go with four T5's and two T12 actinic lamps. g

    Woohoo! Congrats! Gary

    Good Deal?

    If that is the size and shaped tank that you want, it is a good deal. The stand is tall, which is nice, and so is the canopy. This makes it easier to make potential equipment changes down the road. g

    Power Generators

    I paid just over $900 shipped for my Honda generator. It is small and does not take up much room. It provides enough power to take care of the essentials for us. We live in Edmonds/Lynnwood close to a hospital, so we likely will never be without power for long if their is an outage. It is...

    Power Generators

    A couple months ago, I purchased one of these: http://www.wisesales.com/honda_genset.html?gclid=CIvi5puYr58CFQMsawodCUlj0Q I shopped around and Wise Sales had the best price. They were also very nice to work with. My Honda is ready to go at a moments notice. g

    Wave 2k

    I purchased one way back when they first came out. I may end up installing it on my soon-to-be-set-up 75-gallon tank.

    Skimmers, AquaC EV180 or PMBullet2?

    What is your price range? Perhaps you could spend a little more upfront on a more efficient skimmer and then save money on electricity costs over time.

    T-5 ???

    How about using an ICeCap 3000 ballast to drive two lamps? Would that burn the T5 actinics less intensely than the other IceCap ballast already mentioned...

    Gary and Julia's Oceanic 75RR

    Yep, that's what I was thinking. Intriguing, but an all around pain to set up and maintain. Besides, I have a 36" X 36" X 30 tall cube in dry dock waiting to be set up. g

    Gary and Julia's Oceanic 75RR

    For awhile now I have been keeping an eye out for a RR 90 gallon tank to use instead of the 75RR. I have not found one, but I did find an acrylic RR 48" X 18" X 36" tall tank for sale. That works out to 135 gallons. I have a stock Oceanic stand and canopy. It was probably engineered and built...

    Gary and Julia's Oceanic 75RR

    Well, I figured out my lighting. I am going to go with a prewired 48" Icecap T5 retrofit kit. This is it: http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28_124_203&products_id=2773 The price was right, so after much consideration, I went for it. I will also install two 48"...

    T-5 ???

    The little brother to the 660 is the 430. g

    Which light should I get?

    This is what I ordered yesterday: http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28_124_203&products_id=2773 They had the best price I could find online for this prewired retro kit. I added four T5 lamps plus a couple of VHO lamps and shipping was only $17. I am planning...

    Cone Vs. Cylinder

    I was about to start a similar thread comparing the same two skimmers. Either one will fit into my sump for the new 75-gallon tank. g

    plumbing issue

    Perhaps the impeller magnet on your return pump has become calcified and as a result it is not spinning as fast, dropping the flow through the pump. g

    Alarn for a disasterous event.

    I am sorry for your tragic loss. I have a 40-gallon SPS tank in the unheated garage, but I have not installed a GFCI on that tank. My two indoor tanks have them. I visually check my tanks often. If I get up in the middle of the night for anything, I make the rounds and check on all three...

    T-5 ???

    You should ask the Icecap folks. Check this out, too: http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluorescent/IceCap/SLR_Retrofit_Kits/48_inch__2x54W_SLR_T5_Very_High-Output_Retrofit_Kit_w!_Bulbs_by_IceCap "IceCap ballast engineered to "over-drive" each bulb to approximately 85 watts for superior...
