Starfish

Starfish (5/13)

  1. I'm heading there for the first time myself since MACNA was cancelled. I already purchased my tickets.
  2. I just bought the DOS to do just that. I'm not a wiz like some at setting tech stuff up so it takes me a minute to figure it all out. I have not had time to hook it up as I'm working on my water mixing/changing station and that is taking some time to get that all plumbed in and calibrated. The Trident for me has been the best purchase. My tank has been more stable since getting that. I actually won it from BRS at MACNA in Orlando. I was so excited as I had been wanting one since they came out.
  3. Neptune had a watch live on the maintenance and that is what they suggested when the Trident was first launched. After doing some studies, they determined that maintenance can hold out. It explains all the options. I have had my Trident for over 2 years and it still runs like a charm. Been a gamechanger for me. My 300 gallon mixed reef runs very consistent now. . Here is the Utube link:
  4. I have a 300 gallon acrylic tank with 1 inch acrylic. I have been having difficulties finding magnetic reef shelves that will work with this tank. After doing some research and contacting numerous companies, Reef Rax advised me that their large shelf rax will work. I purchased it this morning but should have probably asked before my purchase if anyone has purchased rock shelves from them. If you have, what has your experience been with their product and the company in general? Thanks in advance for any information.
  5. I use one. I could not get my PH above 7.8. Once I added it, it's now up to 8.1. I also have air line tube drawing outside air into my skimmer. I have had the airline on it for about six months with no change. As soon as I add the CO2 scrubber, it immediately moved up.
  6. Epleeds. What size is your tank? Currently, I'm getting 500 PAR at the top, 250 par in the middle and about 125 at the bottom. I'm just thinking these ReefBreeders are not getting the ends of my tank. Looking for something wide in spectrum. At what lighting percentage are you running your G4's?
  7. Good morning! I have a quick question. I have a 300 gallon acrylic mixed reef. For lighting, I have the 61" Aquatic Life Hybrid T5HO lighting system. I have ATI bulbs for the T5 bulbs and currently using ReefBreeders for the LED's. I was considering switching the LED's over to either Kessill or Radions. Which would be better in a fixture such as this?
  8. Thanks Lynn. I was wondering as I ordered 4 as well and had not received them.
  9. Try Tanks for Your Business. Not sure if they move location to location but they did do a move for me from one part of the house to another and did an excellent job.
  10. I left them a message. Keeping fingers crossed.
  11. I just heard from Artfully Acrylic and they no longer do maintenance like this.
  12. Looking for suggestions on company's that can turn around a buffing job of a 300 gallon Tenecor tank. I have to have this done ASAP as the tank is getting installed on Feb 2nd. I tried and failed and doing this myself (using NOVUS 3 part). I have left messages for Artfully Acrylic and Pimped out Aquariums. I would like for them to come here to complete job but if not, I can load up and deliver.
  13. Thanks so much! I'm going to mount them vertically into the canopy. Should I stagger them to cover all the areas?
  14. This week my 210 aquarium bracing snapped. I have it together right now with clamps preparing my 300 gallon tank for it's replacement. I want to use my current lighting I have on my 210 knowing that it will not be enough for the new tank. The new tank is 32 inches tall. 30 inches wide and 72 inches long. Currently, I have 2 Evergrow IT5060's on my tank. I have had great growth with these lights and want to keep them on my new tank, HOWEVER, I do know that this will not be enough given the footprints of the new tank. I need to add some additional lighting to get the lighting down to the bottom of the tank. Any suggestion on what I can add? With regards to coral I have: Different species of chalices, montiporas, mushrooms, toadstools, Bunch of torch, frogspawn, duncans and hammer coral. Thanks in advance for the guidance.
  15. I normally would not post pictires of my tank as mine is not nearly as beautiful as the others I have seen on here. My basement flooded 2 1/2 years ago ( not because of fish tank) and the tank had to be moved. Well the whole thing crashed and caused me to lose all my corals and my eels. I was so heartbroken. I was able to salvage the fish thankfully as I have had them for about 7 years Since the reboot things are coming along nicely. In October I went to the Triton system and purchased the Triton44 sump by Trigger systems. I'm still having issues with Nitrates and Phosphates and not really sure it will ever go away as my fish are large. My Vlamingi tang went blind about six months ago (I'm thinking maybe the new LEDs caused this or a severe bacteria infection) i have to hand feed him every day twice a day. Thanks to Copps for telling me to keep trying things as he stopped eating and I could not figure out why.
