Phil519, I had a 55gal FOWLR that I took down to put up the 80GAL in the pics. Also my little reef (pilot reef) is still going strong - latest addition was the flame angel. Battling a small algae problem and a very territorial purple Pseudochromis - If I could catch him I would remove him...

It's a Cannon EOS 350D. My 1st digital SLR.

Hi all - Got a new camera so I need to test it out :) Sandry75

Hey Mutationracer, I live in Hopatcong (07843). I will try to give you a call later tonight. Sandry75

Hi everyone - I'm a avid reader..but not a frequent post-er. I have seen many posts where members are willing to give away extra frags and as it is the season for giving I thought I would chime in. I'm relatively new to reef keeping (1 or 2 years) and one of my starting corals was a Capnella...

Thanks for the adice guys!! I appreciate it. I will probably go with using the new Quiet one 4000 for the closed loop as you have recommended. Thnaks again, Sandry75 ;D

Hey mladencovic, I currently have the return going in two directions - one at each end of the tank. I read a couple reviews regarding the pump and did not hear any negatives - I hope the reliability will be good. As for the noise, I could not even tell it was running until I checked the return...

Hello everyone, I'm setting up a new 80gal reef and I would like to know what the recommendations are for flow through the sump (30gal). Currently the tank (used setup) is equipped with two Mag 5 pumps. One for the system and one for the skimmer. I picked up a new Quiet One 4000 (1017gph) to run...

ps - I haven't visited in a while and I just wanted to say that the site upgrades look great !!! Well done to whomever is setting it up! ;D

Thanx for the suggestions! The tank is lit with 2 65W PC's so I don't think it is too much light. I'll have to try the direct water flow option and see what happens.

Hello all, I have a GBTA that I purchased about 4 months ago. It was placed right In front on a piece of live rock where it could sink it's foot into the rock and get a nice amount of light. After several days the BTA was wide open and looking great! Both clowns were in it all day long. It was a...

Hey All, I recently picked up a second hand RO/DI unit (4-stage) and was wondering if it is working correctly and when I need to change the filters. I just purchased a TDS meter and this is today's results: Tap water = 479ppm After the RO/DI system = 31ppm Is this normal and at what point...

This thing appeared overnight in the back of my small reef tank! I have no idea what it is or where it came from. I have recently (last month or so) started to see some lumps of hardened sand here and there in the tank but this is nuts!!! I have a large snail (forgot the name now) that I...

Hi all, How does one go about posting some pics in the gallery? ???

Thanks for the welcome all ! I'm located in Northern NJ (Hopatcong). I'll keep my eyes open for meetings and sales. I'm lookin to upgrade from my 55gal to a 90 reef soon so I'll likely need some frags and equipment. ;D

All, I just came back from a newly discovered LFS that is local to me. I visited the store once previously thought they had some nice stuff. I'm always happy to find a new source from which to purchase livestock and supplies, not mention some advice which is helpful for us "Newbies". On this...

Hey all, I picked up a small cluster of yellow button polyps and they were opening nicely. Its been about a 2 wks now and they are not opening as much - any suggestions?? All parameters are right on: SG = 1.025 Temp = 80 Nitrates = 0 PH = 8.2 Alk= 10 Cal = 440 All other frags look good, Sandry75

OK- that worked! So here are a few more (I need to get better at taking pics!) When I get some better ones I'll post them.

Not really sure how to post pics - but here goes? ???

Hello all, I just registered and wanted to say hello! I'm new to the forum but not the hobby. I've had freshwater for 30yrs and switched to marine about 4 yrs ago. My current setups are (1) a 55gal FOWLR that has the following stock: A Snowflake Morey (~18") A Volitan Lion (~6") A Yellow Tang...
