Is anyone using an AC jr, AC III or a Reefkeeper II? I am considering getting one and really wondered if people thought there were worth it? Tell me about your setup and what you do with the controller please :) Thanks

Hi all, My local club is hosting our first frag swap. I know there are a few members here in the KY,IN,OH,TN area. There will not be any vendors as we wanted to keep it simple the first time out. It would be nice to get some out of towners in with some frags to inject some new corals in the...

I picked his guy up today for $3. I placed him in my refugium as I don't really know what type he is. ANy conch experts out there? According to my Reef Invertibrates book, not all conchs are good :? Thanks http://home.insightbb.com/~ellisz/WRX/unknown_conch.jpg

This was my old tank. I upgraded to a 180 RR. The glass is cleaned up and is ready for a new home. Specifics: *75 gal RR - AGA megaflo overflow - I bought new *2x4 GARF design built stand skinned with wood and painted black. Almost as heavy as the tank. Very solid. Taller than the standard...

Well, I have had the 75 gal running for over 3 years now. I ran many different frag tanks with this setup but the 75 has always been as big as I could go. I am finishing out my basement so I have been looking for a 125 or 180. LFS near me called today to tell me that their vendor is having...

Hi all, I am finally going to upgrade so I am posting this here first. I am getting a 180(hopefully) or a 125 in the next 1-2 weeks. I am waiting on a quote on the 180 before I do a 125. I have for sale: *All Glass 75 gallon tank - Reef Ready with overflow kit included - 48x18x20 *Stand is...

Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade my 75 gal RR tank with a 180 gal or possibly a 125 gal. I been having no luck finding one. I might end up getting one from glasscages.com but would like to find a nice used one to save some cash. If anyone knows of one in the KY/TN/IN/OH area, please let me...

I added a pistol shrimp a year or more ago and never saw the likes of it. I have a yellow watchman that I had hoped it would pair up with but I had given up. I hear the occasional pop so I knew it was alive. I was talking to some friends tonight in front of the tank and I see this red striped...

Anyone have a acrylic tank and like it? I have always had glass and liked the look of acrylic but have heard bad stories of cleaning them. I got a friend that is offering a good deal on a 125 acrylic but even he had bad stories of cleaning. Hate to pass up a deal but don't want a PITA tank...

Did anyone see the discussion at MACNA from Eric Borneman? We had a presentation today from Steve Pro and Eric and one of the things he discussed was a salt study he conducted. Basically compared about 10 salts over a 10-11 month period. Results were pretty startling. Anyone hear/see this?

Hi all, I sold some frags here last year with great success. I have: zoos(lots of colors), sinularia, devils hand, toadstool, gsp, anthelia, green buttons, montipora, green fuzzy mushrooms, frogspawn, hammer, light blue candy cane and even acros and milles. Some of this I can ship USPS...

Hi all, I had a large toodstool that a fragged about 3-4 days ago and it has not polyped out yet. I figured it would shed a bit but I have noticed some browning around the cut area. I am a bit worried now. Take at look at the pic and tell me what you think. I fragged this same leather last...

Those with internal overflows: How often do you clean the teeth of the overflow? I think I push a little more flow than recommended through my overflow and I notice that once a week or so I have to clean the teeth to make sure the water is getting skimmed properly through the overflow. I...

I need to thin the refugium again. I figure I have at least 5 bags maybe more. How does $8 shipped priority sound. Edit: I did not say how big the bag was! I will use gal bags that will mostly be full. More than 2 qt bags. Thanks

We got some high wind and rain last night. Sometime this morning we lost power. The first hour I just waited thinking it would come on. After that I decided to fire up the generator for the first time. After realizing I did not have but a trickle of gas I had to head out to the gas station...

Hi all, I did some plumbing yesterday and for some reason the bulkhead in my 75 gal rubbermaid stock tank has decided to leak. I had drained it to move it and of course I noticed it leaking after it was full again. It is a small drip so that was fortunate I guess. Are there any quick fixes...

Hi all, I got a LCD for my PC around Christmas and I need to get rid of my old 19" CRT monitor. It is about 2 years old and it excellent condition. It still has the stickers on it. Shipping would not be an option since it is huge. It is in great shape and perfect working order. I would...

I read this yesteday and found it very interesting. I actually shipped zoos with the damp method this year and it went really well. I might try some other types next year. I know some people really freak out to expose a coral/invert to air :) http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-11/eb/index.php

Hi all, I am on the fence about getting a 5ft 120 gal perfecto tank. I will have to drill from the back so the plumbing will be totally different than my current setup. No biggee, but the tank will have to set farther off the wall. My question is about the seams on the tank. The tank was...

Hi all, I am looking at a 5ft 120 gal tank locally but it is undrilled. The guy selling is going to get it drilled and add an overflow but I am not sure how many holes to drill. I am limited to the 700gph my overflow can handle now and need to have more flow. I was thinking of doing 4 holes...

Hi all, I was removing some algea growth from my overflow tonight and then the water level in the overflow began to rise. It crested right above the elbow on the durso(megaflow kit) standpipe. Now I cant get it to handle the pump flow. I removed the standpipe and it is clear. Not sure what...

Hi all, I have a close friend selling this bike. She needs to support her Fish hobby and other things as well :) The bike was bought new in 2000. It is garage kept and only has 2100 miles. There is small dent in gas tank but all else is perfect. I can supply more pics if needed. She is...

Hi all, I know there are a few bike riders on here and since I don't frequent any bike sites, I wondered if an ad in our for sale forum would be ok? I have seen non aquarium related items but not sure if we really wat them in there? Thought I would get an opinion in this forum :) Thanks

Can anyone tell me how I can take the attached wiring diagram and convert it to power a 55/65 watt bulb vs the 2 32 watt bulbs currently running on it?
