    LED Fans Dying Left and Right!

    FYI for this job there really isn't a need to soder. Just twist the wires together and use a wire cap. My mars aqua unit also had a fan issue. Replacing the fan was very easy and certain sellers from ebay will even ship you new fans for free. Honestly it's probably better to just buy the fan...

    Lighting Frustration

    Those $80 mars aqua lights on Ebay have been working fine on my tank for over 16 months. The fan died on one, but a quick trip to best buy fixed that real quick.

    How do I kill an encrusting montipora?

    Lol lazers. Reef Wars Episode 1 REVENGE OF THE MONTI PLATE. I'll go oldschool and beat it to death with the business end of a screwdriver.

    How do I kill an encrusting montipora?

    I've got a green plating monti that has been creeping over a flat rock. I assumed since it was plating that I could simply lift it off. It has encrusted and is now a part of the rock. It is impossible to lift it off. Is it ok to simply go to town with some cutters and destroy it? Will the ooze...

    Questionss-Hoping to obtain input from SPS keepers

    I'm new to the hobby but I sort of understand marine chemistry. Do you suspect it was a sudden change in chemistry that killed your corals or do you think it was the actual lack of phosphate? Rapid removal of phosphate via media can IN THEORY precipitate CaCo2 and cause a dip in ALK. I don't...

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    That's very odd. I noticed in my system that GHA had trouble growing on coralline. Once the purple stuff took over the rocks the GHA began to go away.

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    Hey art13, in the first picture why is the back wall of your tank plastered with coralline algae but the rocks are white?

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    Juan I suggest waiting it out and simply manually removing it. Run a brush around the whole tank every few days and clean your filter sock a couple hours later. The hair algae itself won't kill or harm anything unless it physically suffocates the corals. I have tried everything for hair algae...

    Palytoxin poisoning case reports

    I recently got university journal access and decided to find all the case reports of documented palytoxin poisoning. Some of it is pretty heavy on the science. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'm a recent medical school graduate, so I have some rudimentary knowledge about toxicology...

    WTB wavemaker

    I'm thinking about adding a second jeboa rw8 wave-maker to my 75g. If anyone has a wp25/rw8 or similar powerhead they no longer use I would be interested in purchasing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
