Hi, im Ben and im from the hood in Tacoma WA. I love the water way too much. i am a divemaster thru PADI. i currently have been in aquariums 1.5 years ish. mostly fish, working on going reef. i started on a 24g biocube, then got another one. very shortly started up a 80g.soon followed by my current tank 180g. that i had a icecap 660 on now have 3, 400w mh. i have one more but the ballast gets worm and wont fire a light. so oh well, im at 6.6 watts per gallon.

Hey Ben,

Welcome to the Greatest Reef Site on Earth. LOL
What do you keep in your 180? Other than 1/2 your paycheck.

i only have the one tank. the others were how i got to the one i have. and what do you mean that i have it good?? i have a way to over-active cyno gland in the tank. that is not good... but should i have stopped the c-balance? i thought that it was aiding in the growth of cyno so i stopped.

High flow will go a long way to clearing up cyano (and is also needed if you are planning on adding any SPS corals.) I'd imagine your cyano problem would disappear with a few large powerheads

i have put 2 marineland 1200 on a little after i put the lights up. previously had 1 up but my longtentical found his way into it, so i had it out. then re-added my protine skimmer.
