    Not sure it will survive - Chevron Tang

    Against my better judgement and despite my initial reluctance.. I purchased a fish from Hidden Reef. My last purchases from hidden reef are fraught with disaster for the most part. The last purchases ended up with them reluctantly giving me a store credit for my fish purchases. This isn't a bash...

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Let the drain lines drop through the hole and into the sump. I wouldn't hard plumb it. I wouldn't use bulkheads either. To avoid spray and splashing the output should go into the sump under the water line and halfway down the filter sock. This makes it hard to remove the drain for changing the...

    GYRE Settings and Help

    I wouldn't count on apex integration super fast. From history it seems that stuff takes some time. The smaller one I think is nice but on your 93 cube I would go with the bigger one and simply dial it down. This is because if the width of flow as opposed to the smaller size of the one your...

    To bow or not to bow

    I vote No. Karen, Here are my .2cents. While 1K might sound like a good deal now.. After inspection, like many, you might find yourself questioning whether or not it was a good purchase. A used tank is.. Used. It comes with all the problems, age, and issues that the previous user had. This...

    GYRE Settings and Help

    Spotter.. I too was very un-impressed with the GYRE in my tank initially TBH.. I see it's merits.. (For Bare Bottom Tanks).. anything with sand won't be able to use the fullpower. The Stream IMHO is narrow and wide which is awesome but the GYRE bounce back isn't as pronounced unless its turned...

    GYRE Settings and Help

    So I tried it on the overflow side and Didn't like it much at all. It basically moved stuff at the front of the tank but I guess because of my rockwork it wasn't doing the best job. I move it back to the penninsula end and played around with moving the cages.. I THINK by angling them down a...

    GYRE Settings and Help

    So I know a few of you on the forum have picked up a GYRE or 8. I myself picked up one at the hiddenreef blowout. Setup was super easy... I am having difficulties on setting up the optimal flow in my tank. My tank is a peninsula. On one end there is a Coast to Coast overflow that imho despite...

    Rise of the Halides

    In truth triton is releasing a basically barebones fixture made with ati fans and parts with 4 t5 in it. You are free to drop in and led fixtures you want in between. It supports the popular ones like ai radions mazzaras and some Chinese brands Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spotter's long distance tank build...

    What I think you need to look into as a GEOTHERMAL Chiller. All it requires is a big hole.. couple feet of tubing and a Decent Pump. OR... Go Oldschool and simply build in an exhaust for your fish room. If you have central air.. ducting one of the Air Vent's directly into or above your sump can...

    My snails have taken walks after lights out

    Nerite snails are functionally stupid. I struggle to decide whether or not they are suicidal... planning the great escape.... or simply.. have bad GPS. One Day entering my son's room.. I smelled the most god-awful thing ever from his toybox. Now you say.... the smell dosen't just happen...

    Won big at hidden reef blow out/raffle

    Congrats! I almost bought a few things there. At the Cash and carry outside I got 2 Clam mounts and holders... I plan to try my hand at some more crocea clams and I want something that's going to protect them while they grow and get healthy. I Almost bought a Dual Hydra 26 AI Sol Setup +...

    The Red Tide.

    I discovered you in the light, your hair blowing in the waterwind generated by the wind god Tunze. You crept silently onto the foundation and across my crumbling calcified bed. Spreading your children into the wind, floating, flowing, seeking. Like a succubus you suffocate my branches...

    Coralline Rock

    IMHO - Coraline has to be introduced into the tank somehow in a decent enough quantity to really take off. In my past experiences Coraline came in because I bought established live rock from other people that was in there for some time. When I started my new tank I used dry rock. Although It...

    Coralline Rock

    Does anyone have or know where I can buy a small piece of live rock thats covered in Coralinne Algae? I'm looking for the purple stuff. I basically plan to sand the coraline into water and then gently spray the water/coralinne dust into my tank and onto my rock work. I plan to leave it over...
