Has anyone had any experiences with the coralife calcium reactor? The price seems very reasonable as compared to other reactors on the market. Any opinions, good or bad?

For the past year, I have been running (2) 150w 20,000K MH DE Coralvue on my 72 gal bow reef. I supplement that with 130W 10,000K PC and 130W actinic and use them to create a dusk-to-dawn effect. The MH photoperiod is 10hrs/day. I decided to switch to (2) 150W 14,000K MH DE Phoenix to gain a...

I have a terrible coral eating worm that I need help getting rid of. I believe that it is probably a Eunicid but I'm not sure. It's white and about 5-6 inches long. I have been trying to catch him for months and haven't had any luck. He only appears at night, usually right after lights out...

I was at Best Buy last week shopping for Christmas gifts when I ran across a battery pack device that is meant to run a computer and monitor during a power loss. It was $150. It looks like a CPU and it has 6 outlets on the back that you can plug into. It will power the devices that you plug...

I am planning on increasing the size of my sump/refugium to increase water system capacity and to increase the size of my refugium. Currently, I have a 72 gal reef that drains into a 45 gal sump that has a 2.5 gal drop-in refugium. The substrate of the sump consists of 25 pounds of live rock...

I've been using (2) 150W 20,000K MH (Coralife) on my 72 gal reef tank for a year so it's time to replace the bulbs. I've decided to change to 14,000K bulbs (Phoenix). Since I'm staying with the same wattage bulbs, do I still need to photoacclimate my tank?

I've been using 2 x 150 watt HQI 20,000K bulbs manufactured by Coralife on my reef tank for about one year now. It's about time to replace them. I really like the blue spectrum that they emit but I'm thinking I might like to change to something with more intensity (while staying with 150...

It's about time to replace my MH bulbs. On my 72 gal bowfront, I'm currently running 130 watt 10,000K PC, 130 watt actinic PC, and 2 x 150 watt 20,000K MH. I really like the blue look of the 20,000K MH but am wondering if my SPS might do better with warmer color temp bulbs for my MH. I...

I just went thru a nasty episode of RTN. I've had the reef tank set-up for almost a year and never had any problems whatsoever. Water Parameters were just fine. Ammonia- 0 Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- 2 pH- 8.2 SG- 1.025 Ca- 430 Alk- 3.5 PO4- .03 Temp- 80F I lost almost all of my SPS corals and a few...

Well... I had a great 5 day vacation to Chicago, until I came home to a polluted reef tank. While I was gone, a 2" long Mandarin fish died and apparently polluted the tank. He probably died right after I left, because there wasn't much left of him by the time I pulled him out. So far, I have...

I purchased a beautiful Lobophyllia Brain Coral online. It was in great condition when it was delivered. Unfortunately, I believe that I messed up the photo acclimation and over exposed it to my MH for too long. I have (2) 150 watt 20,000K MH, 130 watt 10,000K PC, and 130 watt actinic on a 72...

A very long worm is mowing down my Xenia. Help... my kids love that Xenia and are very upset. I've been monitoring the tank after lights out with a red lens covered flashlight and have caught him in the act. I've tried to catch him several times by sucking him into a turkey baster but have...
