I have a reefkoi unit, made in china, but, the guy who sells them is here in the us. good for warranty work if needed. he helped me out when i had a proble m with my unit. it not dimmable but who cares. I have had the unit for two months now and the colors of my corals came out real nice.

try reefkoi corals. very affordable led lights, but, get 14k instead of 20k. unless you like a real blue tank. I have a 200g unit over my 75 and the corals and fish colors have come on. and by the way, i have a 20k unit.

totally agree, the markup on most things in this hobby is way out of line.

forget the hob power filter, go to a hob protein skimmer instead, esp for a saltwater tank..

How about trying going lightless for three days. i have read where this is done on a monthly basis by some people and it works for them. the fish don't care. your water sounds fine

I would check your nitrate levels and do some reading on the subject of old tank symdrone. some tanks go through this .

try ebay. go to petsupplies, and search for copepods, i recomend reef science plankton by greg caudill. good stuff and good price

you are better off getting something like brs carbon and gfo, it lasts longer and works better.

I need some advice, About 5 weeks ago , I purchased a oct 300f series protein skimmer. The pump in the first chamber is making one heck of a noise. I have traced it to the impellar. I think it is because of the volute is not drilled through, Has anyone else have this problem and what is the...

I'm also looking for an led and came across this site thatmaybe an alternative: www.aquashoponline.com looks interesting?

I like quiet one pumps, because they are quiet. If you are going the sump route, buy yourself a used tank that will fit in the stand you are using. its a great place for protein skimmers, heaters, carbon. there are lots of diy plans out there

If the wet dry is for a new tank, then leave the bio balls in. you can always remove them slowly over time once your reef has stablized in 6 months or so.personally i have run a wet dry for 10+ years and never had a nitrate buildup. keeping them clean by using filter pads and water changes.

the airline screws on the middle pump where the water feeds into the pump which pulls from the 1st chamber.

Funny that you have this thread, I just got a oct 300f ( a week ago)and the same thing happened, iI was able to reconnect the airline to the pump and ran vinegar as sugested. It has aready produced some ugly looking skimmate tha I was never able to get with my old skimmer. the only complaint...

The led lights will not harm your tank in any way. as they are low light bulbs, they will not cause algae growth and most people use them to accent the tank at night. You are going to use them to view your tank at night, so at most they would be on for an hour or so. as for how many, that is a...

It sounds like your fish are mimicking spawning.

Look for yard sales and find local reef or fish clubs in your area, these are all sources of used equipment that can be had for cheap.I was at a frag swap last weekend and there was a equipment acution and people walked away from it with some really good deals.think about what kind of...

was the membrane dried out when you put it back in the unit?I think if you would soak the membrane for 24 hours in water maybe it will come back, also, i think i would recheck all the plumbing lines, test each line indivilualy, you may find a blockage in one.

Interesting but, my fish line up to be cleaned by cbs. this is a natural thing by fish with any shrimp for the most part. you have to obsever the cbs and see exactly what is goin on.

if you look at the eggcrate, you will see that one side is thicker than the other side.place the thinner side pointed up towards your light and you will find that the light gets focused into the tank. this works with most type of lights except mh. mh gets too hot and will melt the plastic eggcrate.

under the general premesis that when the syphon breaks it is because of a power outage, thus the pump would stop and the auto topoff would also stop. so no filling, when the power comes back on , pump starts and if the drain from the main tank is a u shaped type, you would get flooding, a...

why don't you try eggcrate . it will allow air and light in and block the feathers from getting in.

i found that if you put them is at the same time and if they are small ( young) you do fine, my blue and yellow tang have been together for two plus years without any problems

try finding a local pet store that has saltwater fish, most will help you out with water already to use and some will help you transport the tank over to your office for a price. i would go this wway and sell the fish to the lfs and let the tank sit for 5-6 weeks to settle down and cyle

I would try 2 things: 1. use a circular clamp found in most auto parts stores or departments for the 5/8 tubing and 2. try putting the bucket you use on a chair or something to raise the bucket to a height the same as the tank. or 3. are you using a hob fifter or something else like a wet...
