    Suggest a lens?

    I'm really bad at knowing what type of equipment to buy, so I was hoping someone might be able to offer a suggestion as a lense to get. I don't have a true DSLR, but I know there are still lens attachments out there. I'd like to be able to take a bit more detailed macro shots with my Panasonic...

    Anyone buy Fiji LR from F&S?

    I got some from them a couple years ago, it wasn't anything great but it wasn't bad at the same time if that makes sense. Don't recall anything bad on it and it did have some small corals on it.

    DaCube Jr II Oceanic 30g

    Glad to see that it is working out for you. Got the pod set up and slowly working on moving a few select pieces over to it and starting the aquascaping. Its so odd to go to such a quiet tank after our 125g though. Thanks again!

    Recomended Chillers

    I have a PCI Sealine-500 which is a 1/2 hp on my 125g display and connected through about a 40g sump that has a little over 1100w of MH on top of it, its relatively quiet, no louder than the fans that it replaced and obviously has no problem keeping the tank cool at all, plus I have room in the...

    20g Sump Design

    Another thing that I did (accidentally of course) is to have the pump angled downwards at perhaps a 30 degree angle. Gives the pump a bit more clearance room, its accomplished by having the pump sit on a few industrial size sponges that were additive free and brand new. Cuts down on vibrations...

    Chillers

    I have about the same water volume in my tank and recently purchased a SL-500 which is a 1/2 hp chiller. No problems and is working great as it should for the price :/

    20g Sump Design

    Well, I have a Mag24 as a return pump and it routinely will only have about 4 inches above it and it doesn't suck any air. Down to about 2" and it will start blowing a few microbubbles. Doesn't get really bad until about 1" or so.

    29 to 55 in a day?

    I just transfered my 125g to...well..the same tank. But I switched stands so I needed to drain the old tank/sump and redo it all again. Everything seems to be doing well except for 2 fish who didn't make it due to stress I'm thinking, but most of the corals are doing quite well now that the...

    Megaflow drainpipes

    I have a 125 with the megaflow system. I just hvae some flexible hosing (the type you buy at Home Depot or Ace) I think it's about 2" or so. I know it slides right onto the drain bulkhead on the tanks. They free flow directly straight down onto each side of the sump , go through a bubble trap...

    My New Homie!

    I know there is a set of clowns out at the Shark Reef that are close to 20 years old too. Beautiful creatures..

    light bulb

    I just ordered 2 10k 400w Hamiltons, I hope they end up nice since I want a bit of blue and something nicer than the 6500 bulbs that are in there now.

    screw ID, and a lighting safty question

    Ideally another pop rivet would be the best. Simply either grind the top of the rivet head off or use a sharp chisel to knock it off and then a thin punch to knock the remainder of the rivet out. Another alternative that would probably be easier (since most people don't have a rivet gun in...

    LiveRock supplier

    It is sent in two different parts. They send you the first part of rock + sand that is aqua-cultured from Florida, then after your tank cycles after 3-4 weeks or however long it takes, they send you the remainder of the packaging.

    LiveRock supplier

    Not sure what your budget is, but this is where I plan on getting my next stuff for my soon to be nano. http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/thepackage/package_chart.html Its probably a bit expensive but I've heard nothing but good things about them.

    Sump Baffles

    Thats what I would have thought. But with the 4 feet of head I believe a Mag24 is only pushing around 1800-1900 gph and I think that the 600 gph for each overflow is underrated as I have no problem with the tank and sump level staying level.

    Sump Baffles

    Its up to you how much you push through your tank. But on the same setup I'm running a Mag24 with zero problems. I think I could even push up to a Mag36 before I'd have to throttle the return pump down some. I'm only running about 4 feet of head on it too as my stand sits very low. My two...

    Quick question about stocking a tank.

    Hmm..as to what I'd like mine and my wife's reef to be. I tihnk I'm pretty easy. We mostly like mushrooms, xenia and zoas. Not really into all the other corals that much although we do have some frogspawn that is doing quite well. We have about a 8-10" brain that the only real reason I like it...
