I had dual 250 watt halides when I had my 75 gallon running. I used a chiller and it pretty much ran all the time. The apartment got so hot my AC could not keep up. I had uncomfortable times. Now I am LEDS only.

I always liked the Fiji live rock. Lots of nooks and crevices.

The Marine scene has a great deal on the IM SR60 in their showroom They are in Herndon, VA

Yes.

I saw those duncans yesterday. Very nice.

Thanks.

I cannot se the member discussion section. I checked my status and its BB member. My dues are paid, my membership card says expiration 22 may 15 member #A0037 Please help. David

Lionfish are venomous. I would explain that well to him. I got stung before years ago. David

Kent Reef Carbon is what I used. Does not leach phosphates in my experience.

Stainless steel screw clamps should work. Lowes or home depot in plumbing department. David

You don't want water to back up the airline and into the ozone generator. It's safety

Use a controller to turn off the ozone when ORP reaches above a certain level. I think 400 is a good number, maybe someone else knows a better number. David

There are some UV ozone generators that you won't need an air dryer for.

It's worth going to.

A nice fish, I had one before and didn't know it was poisonous. I had my arm in the tank and it got me. I was similar to a jellyfish sting. i called the pet store where I got it and they said the fish does have spines that have poison. Good Luck, David

Thanks for sharing, I have probably over 15 palys in my tank that just grew out from the live rock. They have greenish centers. It is scary to think about a deadly poison in my tank where I have put my hands Several times a week. David

I like the kessil lights. zygote2k recommended I try them. I have 2 350W and it was just what I needed. no more need for a chiller as the halides required. They are also so simple. Just put hem on a timer , turn the knobs for both blue/white intensity. hot and cold Parameters are more stable = happy corals.

Matt, My 75 galon tank is to the right of the picture. I have a 30 gallon tank for a sump in the stand. I use the white rodi type of tubing to deliver the 2 solutions from their pump to the sump. the output is about 4" above the water level in the sump. I use brackets to hold the white RODI tubing in place. David PS the tank above in the picture is only used as a DSB / fuge.

Litremmeter 3 is the best I have used. calibrate it once on set up. Set the daily dose amount and its VERY precise. Whatever the daily dose amount it pumps the amount spread over 24 hours. Also very simple to control. I use the main module and a 2nd pump. Magnesium you can hand dose once a week. Happy Reefing David

Since switching to jans food my hair algae problem is almost gone. I was using Rods food before. I feed 3 times a day w/jans food. Thanks Jan.

I have several of these placed in spots where I want to know if there is water. Near my topoff resiover and around the sump area http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100038838/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=Water+alarm&storeId=10051

I am coming for sure today. David

Litre meter 3 dosing 2 part

I soak in water with regular bleach - not the scented one Then rinse 5 times with tap water.

What camera and lense do you recommend for amateur? David
