Yes. When my husband and I made that change it made a huge difference. We have very low readings of that and almost no detectable phosphates. Glad we did it.

What are the typical raffle giveaways? I saw that there was different catagories ($1, $5, $10, ect). What is the difference in goodies;)? We bought our tickets last year and just recently the room and car rental so we are ready to go. We just are limited on leftover cash (that my husband...

Yeah my husband just got the email too and forwarded it to me. So I am all set to go. Can not wait. We are going to wait until Jan-Feb to reserve the rooms, but hopefully we'll get in on the rooms as well.

Ok, I moved some things around and bought the tickets but I had no receipt or anything. Do they send you the tickets or something or verify by email? Thanks!

Do you have any friends or family with a fish tank? If so, you could get some from them. If you live in Florida you can get some from me. Mine is full of beneficial pods, ministars and worms. It is all aragonite. I did not buy any "live" sand. I also bought some dry base rock to add into...

: )

Oops, we posted at the same time.

At least 6 months from what I understand. I know it took my tank a long time to be ready for anemones. You should get your tank to a point where it is very stable, ph and alk always the same or atleast balanced, good test results, all that. Try to find an anemone that is captive raised, those...

Anyone know of any good articles for builting the frame for a stand on a large aquarium (200+ gallons)? I am looking for some good solid ideas for reinforcement. THX!

Well, if yours ends up splitting a million times I am looking for a captive bred rose BTA (not now, but later). I have two green ones now (mine split as well). I have two clowns and two anemones one of them has taken over both anenomes.

I had Instant Ocean and I changed to Tropic Marin. Used to have all kind of problems with my ph and alk but now they are good. Ph is 8.0 in the am and 8.2 in the pm, steady, everyday. That was primarily why I switched.

That's what I have been reading, no heat transfer and energy efficient. For me, that is a big pay off. But like you say, how long the bulbs really last is another question to ask. Current sells really affordable led lights. That's what I am looking at now, a 12" strip of 4 LEDs sells for...

Yep, he'll get tired of it sooner or later and go for something with a little more meat in it lol. Mine is full grown and eats like a horse. Just let him acclimate for a while, he'll go for when he's hungry enough.

Good, then I will stick with that plan then. Thanks for all the info, this is going to be exciting to plan for!

Well, mine loves algae based foods. It's what he started on, then he started going for the other stuff. He still always goes for the formula two first (I mash up the frozen cubes), then he'll go for the angel formula after the formula two is all gone. Don't know why, its always been that way...

hmmm, I see. I would use what I have now because I love my fuge to death, but I am concerned with overflow. Right now, when the power cuts off I have to run and check to make sure it doesn't overflow. When I get the 250, I am getting a 2000 gph pump. I need something to handle the added...

Lando, Those are some great pics! Nice tank!

What is the rule of thumb for LED lighting? How many of those puppies would you need to equal a 250 MH? I am looking at some that come 4 on a strip, they are linkable for a real good price. Does anyone know what equals what? TIA

Yeah, I thought about that, but peppermint shrimp are so darned hard to catch. My tank is a 150 with a ton of rocks and crevices. Then again there is a lot of these little guys. I'd give these puppies away!!! I don't know what it is but stuff just reproduces like crazy in my tank. My corals...

Ack! That soon? I'd do it now, but we have the couches, fridge to buy and tank to order before we move into the new house (Dec). I'll have to wait to October before I can fit in between stuff. It's kind of tight with the move date coming up and all. We were planning on doing the rooms, car...

Ok, we are settled, we are definately going to next years. We don't want to hassle with flying since we are so close and if I decide to pick up something while I am there I can put it in a cooler with some small ice packs. Couple of questions. When does the rooms start filling up and selling...
