I think this is one of those April Fool stories reached us a little late....

If I want to get new Icecap electronic ballasts, since I have two lamps,should I get two ballasts or can I use one ballast to hook up two lamps?

Brian, Many many thanks for the Macro that you gave me. Btw, after seeing your tank my tank looks so tiny. You have a really awesome setup. Good luck with it!

Thanks for the pointers Dave. After doing some more reading on the subject, I am thinking of raising the height of the bulbs from the water to about 10". Also should I close the front (with a door) and back of the canopy so that light does not seep or should I leave it open so it doesnt heat...

Hi all, I am planning to do a diy MH system. I already have a canopy and need your help in assembling the necessary pieces to build the MH system. I am a complete newbie and going to start from the scratch. Here are some starter questions: 1) The tank is a 72g bowfront and depth is around 20...

Sorry, since I collected the Carbon from you, I just assumed you have my phosban also. It is ok if you don't have it, I can collect it later.

Awesome idea indeed, but somehow I feel that is totally out of place. And the 'major' purposes that he mentioned: 1)The house is not big enough for a 5 feet round tank to sit in the middle of the room, so the rotation will slowly bring out the "back" of the tank to the viewer. 2)It was...

What is wrong with this guy: http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/tank-threads/23562-350g-round-custom-build-motorized-tank.html I wonder what he feeds his fish and coral. A pinch of Dramamine may be?

How about Thursday between 7 & 8 pm? I think you have my Phosban from the last group buy. I can collect that too.

The fuge has been setup for less than 3 months. It does not look like coraline, but I will check again anyway. I will stop by for macro algae and will give you a buzz before coming in. Thanks for the offer!.

There is very little macroalgae on the right side. I have marked in the picture attached. Another thing I noticed that the bulb has become lot less intense. I am using one of those energy star flood light bulbs. I cannot believe that they are losing the life in like two months. I will change...

I cannot afford a Solaris, unless I get a book deal or something. :( Right now, I am only trying to decide between MH & T5. Thanks for the response anyway!.

I will go ahead and put a power head in there. I was under the (wrong) impression that the water flow in the fuge must be minimal. Thanks!

Currently I have PC lights on my display tank and am thinking of replacing it so I can keep some light demanding corals, clams etc. I know that MH is one option. What other options do I have? My tank is a 72g bowfront. There was a discussion sometime back on these lines, but I am unable to...

Hi all, I am back again after a brief hiatus. No more travel for the next few months so back to reefing for good. I have some green algae in my four months old fuge. I see pinkish algae on the glass and thick green deposits on the sand bed. Is this normal? I know that a water change is overdue...

My pump was making a lot of noise too. I put two scrap pieces of wood on top of the frame that was holding the pump it place. It helped cut down the noise tremendously. Try put some pressure on the wood piece that is holding the pump, with your hand or leg. If it cuts down the noise then you can...

If you are looking for cool websites to kill time, you may want to check out www.tmz.com and www.theonion.com. Those two are my favorites. If I am really bored I just go google "I am really bored". Once I got this one: www.i-am-bored.com.

I have PC lights. The lights are not hooked to the AC Jr, I will go ahead do it right away. Thanks John.

Ok, Thanks.

Thank you. Going bonkers for various reasons. Hopefully it will end soon. This is great. I can do this as well. But do you think if this will work just fine even if I leave for 2 weeks at the peak of summer heat? Last summer I was away for one weekend which turned out to be the hottest day...
