    So it is soon to begin.... (Said with a deep psycho voice)

    Aquarium movers?

    Sorry didn't see that was part of the deal. They are movers, did you ask them if you boxed it all up would they carry it? I mean they are movers. The livestock is a much tougher thing always.

    Aquarium movers?

    I used the guys from Trop to get my 180 delivered. They were very good and fairly priced considering the fact i had to do nothing except pay them. I can't remember the guys name though but you can call trop and ask for their delivery guys they will give you the number. I believe the guys at...

    You know your a reefer when...............

    You know your a reefer when..... you check your tank status more than the football scores on a Sunday. you dread traveling because your in-laws have to feed the reef you visit the LFS more than the grocery store

    What made you get into this hobby?

    I started taking care of fish over 30 years ago when I took over my Dad's 2 freshwater tanks. Shortly after that I had 3 more tanks, but this time salt water. I kept this going for about 12 years until I moved out. I kept on the hobby but only as a fan not as a keeper until 2 years ago when I...

    Not hoping for, but ready for the storm....

    We decided that losing power for more than 4 weeks over the 13 months as a result of storms was too much and just completed a generator installation. The device we chose is a whole home system with an automated transfer switch, so power is back within 20 seconds. The sad part is that for us we...

    mp40 vs mp10.... please experienced feed back

    If you have a controller of some kind, I highly recommend that as well because it lets you vary the vortechs settings throughout the day. I have a 180 and use 2 MP40s as well.

    Buyer beware!!!!!!!

    Over the past 2 years or so I have spent some money at Trop as well, good and bad experiences. Reality is I go there to get things I must have, dry goods, and clean up crew. Otherwise Elos, CC, AO, etc are just better experiences where I feel my money goes to help the hobby not to someone who...

    Tank controller

    I would strongly suggest listing out what you want to control and monitor before you buy anything. There are used products you can get, or when you buy new specific bundles available. 8 outlets, vs 4 vs 16... pH Temp and many other probes.... lighting controls..... the list can get long.

    Tank controller

    I have an Apex and have been very happy with it. I definitely have used it for the heater/chiller style issues over the last 2 years. Setup of the Apex is quite straight forward but it does require some planning and thought.

    BioPellet Refill.....

    Due to a faulty Elos test kit (don't get me started will never use their kits again) my Nitrates were off the charts. My tumble may have been a little bit excessive but has definitely calmed down as the pellets have lost all of their buoyancy. The loss could also be attributed to that factor...

    BioPellet Refill.....

    So i have been running BioPellets now for about 4 weeks and have noticed the volume in the reactor is lower than when I started, by about 1/4. Should I be looking to refill them back up to the original level or is it fine to wait until its less than half. Just trying to understand people's...

    Buyer beware!!!!!!!

    While I like their selection, sometimes, that isn't the first bad experience i have heard about. Personally complaining to Michelle's boss won't do anything because its his policy not hers. You also shouldn't need a receipt since they can look it up in the computer, as long as you wife gave...

    Did you get it online yet? If you can hit the web browser its pretty straight forward, just have to get in the right mindset for it.
