First off good luck with the tank. Personally, I have a Oceanic Tech 120 with a 31 gallon sump, ETSS sump buddy 60 protein skimmer with a mag 9.5 pump, 2 seio 1500 powerheads, Blueline 40X HD pump, Outer Orbit light fixture 2 X 150 MH and 2 130 watt PC bulbs, Neptune JR with DC8 and a simplicity...

Mike how can your tank crash from a pump going bad for your chiller?

Now that summer is finally over I quit worrying about the temp. of my tank and am already thinking about next year. Next summer I will really need a chiller for my Oceanic Tech 120 with a 30 gallon sump. I am thinking about either a 1/5 HP or a 1/4 HP depending on the price. I have never owned /...

I just made my first order from Reef Empire last week and it was great. The coral arrived on time and is extremely healthy. I could not ask for more...

Thankyou everyone for your responses. After reading what everyone had to say I will let him "RIP" (rot in peace).

I do not have any crabs. My clean up crew is 6 turbo snails and a whole mess of bristle worms. As I stated earlier I do not want to take all of this rock apart just to get him out and not even a wire would work. Do you think his decaying will throw my water parameters out of whack?

I have a 3 inch powder brown tang that just died in my tank. He is in the back of my rock work and I really don't want to take this" puzzle" apart. My tank is a oceanic 120 with a 30 gallon sump. My protein skimmer is an ETSS 60 sump buddy and so far my water parameters are in line. Tomorrow I...

Well for the first time in a long time my first hunch was correct. My rocker switch went bad... For unknown reasons the rocker switch sort of melted where the wire plugs into the switch itself. All I had to do was cut the wire and attach it to the new switch. It was a very cheap fix and thank...

Just in case anyone cares I think that I found the problem today. It appears that my rocker switch is broken which is what was leadingto the small burning smell. I have ordered a new one from Champion lighting and am hoping that this will fix the problem. If not than it is the ballast to my PC...

When my outer orbit 48" 2 x 150 MH plus PC light comes on it gives off a small burning odor which does not last long. This happens when my PC come on first and than as well when my MH turn on two hours later. The lighting fixture is about 2.5 years old. Is this something that I should be overly...

Hawkeye how do I get in touch with Roger? Do you have his number? JOn

My Tunze 9010 finally bit the dust today and it is time for me to upgrade to a new skimmer. My tank is an Oceanic Tech 120 with a 30 gallon sump. The skimmer that I am going to choose needs to be able to skim in a sump where the water level will dip about 4 inches before I add RO water to the...

Is anyone bringing any frags or colonies for sale at the monthly meeting? If so please let me know what you have available. Thanks - Jon

I just got a new Oceanic Tech tank 120. With the tank came a blue line 40 X return pump. The pump is a bit loud and I am trying to minimize the noise. I have put a rubber mat under the pump to eliminate the vibration but it is still loud and I think this is how the pump runs. Part of the problem...

I just bought a new tank and the light fixture needs new bulbs. I was looking online and see that Pheonix 150 watt 14K HQI bulbs get good reviews and are priced fairly well. Does anyone use them or have any suggestions of another bulb that is not overly expensive. Jon

Is there something that I can use to "cleanse"my tank aftewords? I just bought a used Oceanic Tech 120 which has some scratches on the front panel that I want to fix.

Has anyone ever tried any of the glass scratch removers out recently. I see that Janvil is pretty well advertised but can not find any first hand reviews. Please let me know if you have tried anything out in the market that will remove minor glass scratched. jon

I am running a cup of carbon in my filter sock for my 58 gallon tank. How often should I switch out the carbon and replace it with fresh carbon? Jon

The acans are not near the enchinata and the flesh is still good. They are not in a high flow area and were once very happy where they were. ???

About 10 days ago I posted a inquiry about new acans not doing well. The general consensus was that since they were new and freshly cut I should give them a little more time to heal and things should turn around. Well they haven't but they have not gotten any worse either. What is strange is...
