If I make extra water I don't heat until I'm ready to use it. I don't know for sure if there are any disadvantages doing this way but I've never had a issue. Bob

I run a chiller with a separate pump (mag 5). Check to see what the manufactures recommended gph is and then check your flow with a flowmeter. If the flow isn't sufficient you may have problems with the chiller. As far as it taking a long time (what do you consider a long time?) it may be due to...

We have a photgraphy forum, were if someone likes they can display their tank in all it's glory adding another forum only makes more work for the mods. With MACNA around the corner it's not a good time to add to the workload. JMHO Bob

I know what protective eyeware looks like but what does, never mind (wouldn't chaffing be a problem) Bob

When I go to the bathroom I always hold the hand with the fish at least 2 foot from my penis. ::) Bob

Chuck I'm also running Reeflux 12K bulbs and love them. Bob

I have a mag 5 running my chiller for over a year with no problems. When I first installed it I had to play with the teflon tape to get it to seal. Bob

Take a small screwdriver and dig under the colony into the lr. You actually break the rock and the colony stays intact. I've use this method to remove anemones. Bob

George Acans are usually placed on the bottom of the tank and should do fine under PCs. I had one under PCs for about a year without a problem. What's the wattage of your bulbs and how deep is the tank? Bob

Check the skimmer comparison chart at the top of this forum. Bob

Mike Looks good! If you need a hand with anything give a yell. Bob

George You don't need it drip kit. Use a piece of airline tubing with a knot in it. Tighten the knot to slow the flow or loosen it to increase. Bob

George Welcome to NJRC. Great club! There are a lot of members in our area(I'm in Piscataway). If you need a hand shout out. Bob

I have a flame angel and love it. I was steered away from the pygmy when I bought the flame (Will/AO - not reef safe it will pick at zoas). No problems at all with the flames behavior. Bob

If your tank is 82-84 now with the MHs on what happens in the summer when the ambient temp is much higher? I had the same issue with my tank even with the ac on. I had to buy a chiller. I figured if the temp spikes in the tank it will cost me a lot more then the price of the chiller. Bob

I have one on my system and it definitely made a difference in the color of my corals. I also helped with algae growth in the tank. For the price it's a cheap remedy. Bob

Removes Phosphates from the water column.

How about if a group picture is taken at each meeting and the members labeled. It might encourage more people to come out. Bob

I have the same chiller (recommended 500gph) and I run a Mag 5. I read where people had this chiller on a 120. Depends on your ambient room temperature. Bob
