    ReefKeeper Lite Plus - worth the investment?

    Am considering buying this controller for my new build. I like the control of heaters, lights, powerheads, ATO, skimmer, monitoring PH, and temp. It would allow me to get rid of my timers and some of the cord mess. I am looking at the RKL plus for the additional outlets and control. Can...

    Spoonman's new 120 reef build thread!

    Well, its been a while since I have done anything new. This year has been a tough one so far, so I need a distraction. I found a great deal on this tank on craigslist so I decided it was time. I bought the tank (I think leemar) 120G 48X24X24 with stand and canopy with t8 lights for $300. I will...

    Good low price skimmer....Is there such a thing?

    I am building a 120G Reef with 40G sump and need a skimmer. I currently have a coralife 220 on my 75G reef and it seems ok, but could be better. What is a good, low priced skimmer that would be big enough for about 150 gallons of water? I am looking at the Bubble Magus NAC 6 for about $220...

    How to hang LED light panels

    Does anyone have links or pictures of what you have used to hang the 120W led panels? I will have 2 panels hanging over my 4ft 75 gallon tank. It is a wooden stand and a standard tank. No canopy. Don't want to spend $100 bucks on a manufactured one. I want to build it myself from...

    Current Orbit LED's very dissapointing

    I bought this lights about 2 months ago for my 75 gallon tank. At first they looked good and the options are cool. But that is about as far as I go in liking them. If you have softies and LPS, you will be ok. If you have anything else, stay away from these lights! I have lost a chalice, a...

    What's up with my corals????

    Got a new light about a month ago and this is the direction that my corals have gone. I am not happy at all. I thought corals bleached due to too much light. Not too little light. I got the Current LED's. My Montipora Undata My Pocillopura My Sebae Nem My Chalice All were doing good...

    Current Orbit LED lights

    Has anyone tried these and what do you think of them. Price is right and thinking of going this way instead of the Chinese ones. You can customize the colors and timers and it even has modes for cloudy and thunderstorms. Let me know what you think. Current USA Orbit Marine Aquarium LED Light...

    Are LED's really that great of an idea?

    Got a question for all of you light guys (and gals) out there. Have been considering going to LED's and see a lot of them for sale in my LFS. Seems that people are selling them and going back to t5ho or halides. Here seems to be the issue with most of the people that are getting rid of them...

    Is this a good deal?

    Found these on Craigslist. I can get them for $300. I was going to use one on my 75 and sell the other. They look like Current lights to me, but I'm no expert. Looks like they have the legs and it says the bulbs are new. AQUARIUM fish tank LIGHTS

    Crisis averted : Check your float switches!

    Woke up this morning and heard a bubbling noise from underneath my 75 gallon tank w/40 gallon sump. The bubbling noise was the ATO pumping air into the sump (because it had been pumped completely dry). The float switch in the sump was stuck in the down position, telling the ATO that the sump...

    Question for those with generators

    For those of you that have generators to backup your fish tanks: What size generator do you have (watts) and what do you run off it? I had a power outage last night for only an hour, but it got me thinking of buying a generator to cover my fish tanks (29 and 75 salt, 140 and 240 fresh)...

    Video updates of my 29 and 75 gallon reefs

    Here is the 29 gallon reef. I started this tank on 1 Jan 2012. Here is the 75 gallon reef. This tank was started on 19 Mar 2012. It was started with over 100lbs of cured live rock though, so I had a jump start. Hope you enjoy and all comments are welcome.
