    Light combo

    Kevin, Thanks, so it doesn't really matter what combo of VHO's I use? Would I be better suited to throw a couple of 10K vho's in with two actinics?

    Light combo

    I have a 60 gallon cube with one Reeflux 10k 250 w bulb, along with 4 18" super actinic VHO's. I am considering switching to a 12k bulb, with two normal actinics and two super actinics, as I don't like how white it is at the present time. Do actinics have any effect on SPS, rather than...

    Staghorn losing color

    Jayson, Thanks for the tip...hopefully things will progress smoothly. The transition from LPS to SPS has not worked well so far! :(

    KNOP Calcium Reactor setup

    I just bought a used KNOP Calcium reactor set up, but did not get the manual. I cannot find one online either. Does anyone have a manual that I could borrow, or give me a run down of how to set this damn thing up? :confused: Thanks Dan

    Staghorn losing color

    Thanks gary... I just bought two nanostream 6025's that I am going to mod and run without a wavemaker. Hoping it makes a difference. Chiller is next.

    Staghorn losing color

    Whoop, I am dumb. I counted the Maxi-jets as 1200 gph...that would be nice. Perhaps I will replace them with some nanostreams or koralias and see what happens.

    Staghorn losing color

    My turnover rate is approximately 53 times an hour in a 60 gallon tank. I am using two maxi-jet 1200's on a red sea wavemaker for circulation. I am using Rod's food, ocean nutrition pellets and flake and nori sheets for food. I am adding liquid life phytoplankton twice a week. Calcium is 420...

    Staghorn losing color

    I recently put a neon green staghorn frag into my tank. The frag appeared to be doing great, with full polyp extension right away. I keep it under 4 18' VHO actinic-r lamps and a single ended Reeflux 250w 10k metal halide. Over the past couple weeks the staghorn has lost most of its color and...

    Ricordias and SPS

    Thanks for the clarification!

    Ricordias and SPS

    I have heard from a couple of people that one should not keep mushrooms in an SPS tank due to the high level of chemicals that they put off. Is the same actually true for Ricordias since they are in the same family? (I think?) Thanks, Dan

    Anyone have a tank for sale?

    Tank Sorry, forgot about this thread. Eric at Veralte Aquatics hooked me up with a 60 gallon cube, so I am good to go. THanks, Dan

    RO/DI-Seattle Area

    Due to some recent high water bills at my place, I am trying to figure out how to cut back on my RO fills. (Or tell the girlfriend to stop showering...:eek:) Does anyone in the Seattle area use only a DI filter, rather than the whole RO/DI setup? I have never tested the city's water, how impure...

    Skimmer transition

    Posted in the equipment forum...but don't know if anyone saw it! I am currently running an ASM G-3 on my 100 gallon tank...love the skimmer, hate the pump noise and the gurgling! I am downsizing to a 60 gallon cube in the near future, and I am thinking of changing skimmers. Preferably to an...

    Skimmer transition

    I am currently running an ASM G-3 on my 100 gallon tank...love the skimmer, hate the pump noise and the gurgling! I am downsizing to a 60 gallon cube in the near future, and I am thinking of changing skimmers. Does anyone have experience with the Aqua-C urchin? I like the in-sump design...but...

    Crocea Detachment

    I have a crocea clam that has attached to one of my large pieces of live rock. I would like to move him to a different tank...is there any safe way to do this, other than breaking the rock and moving the piece with him on it? Thanks! Dan

    Nanostreams and MH Bulbs

    Thanks for the thoughts. I will have a look at the Reeflux bulb. Being that I have a 60 cube with two locline returns...I have a little flow already. I think I would like to use something that is controllable by a wavemaker...allowing me to adjust the flow pattern. I have heard that you can't...
