    David's 90g Upgrade

    So just a quick update (I like to do one every 8 or 9 years or so :) :) ). My tank has been through many periods of neglect but has chugged along OK for the most part (even through sandy power outage). And while no major catastrophes, it has definetly shown that neglect over the last year or...

    Thoughts on this light

    I bought the Relassy version (same thing) 6 weeks ago to as an experiment on a new 40 Breeder. Overall I like the light but it has flaws. I have a hodgepodge of stuff in there including GSP, Kenya Tree, 2 Favia, a condy anemone, hammer coral, some palys and a hollywood stunner chalice. All...

    New additions arrived today

    I just got an order yesterday from Pacific East. Same experience. They have definitely earned my business going forward. Got most things on sale and for pretty good prices too.

    Live Aquaria snail order - not good

    I just received an order yesterday from Pacific East Aquaculture (for a small cleanup crew). Usually use Reef Cleaners, but wanted some frags too and they had best prices overall on the things I needed. Everything arrived very well packaged and in good shape. The coral all came out...

    New Tank - New to the Hobby - I Need Your Input.

    Welcome. I built the exact stand that redfishbluefish has shown. As njTiger24 stated, there are a million ways to go. I like to keep it simple and cost effective personally. I see so many people end up leaving this hobby for a couple of reasons (1) Money, which ultimately is a concern for...

    Well, that's all folks!

    Good Luck and thanks for everything. I also joined when John and Phyl were running the club. I have not been super active in the club mostly because of time constraints. Between work, 4 kids, a house, reef tank and just everything else that keeps you busy in life it is difficult to be as...

    What type of lights are over your tank?

    I am using two of the Chinese Black Boxes over my 90. Specifically the GalaxyHydro on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00INM0J1M/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468547881&sr=sr-1&keywords=galaxyhydro Not a ton of sps, but the frags I have seem to be growing OK. I have them turned way down because...

    website

    This is not directly related to the website (or maybe it is), but when I first joined almost 8 years ago, it seemed like there was a lot more activity on the site. Both in posts and people participation. I have been more of an on the sidelines (hot and cold) kind of member myself. Maybe...

    Kschweers rebuild. 57g rimless

    May be too strong for your tank, but my Eheim 1262 has been running 24/7 for 5 years straight (with the exception of Sandy and a couple other shorter power outages). They really are tanks. Just bought a Jaebo dc-6000 for use on another project. Looking forward to playing with it.

    Jebao Propeller Pump Reliability?

    Price was my initial reason on my decision. I haven't even ever cleaned mine and they are working well. I like being able to direct the flow also. I am happy with the controllers also. I added a second one after a year or so and they work great in Master/Slave mode. Maybe I have been...

    Jebao Propeller Pump Reliability?

    I have 2 rw-15s. One running perfect for 2 years. 1 running perfect for 6 months. I have been happy with them. RW and PP are essentially the same I believe. Only had 2 so my experience is anecdotal.

    Very Nice. I am too far away to pick up, but nice to see someone being generous.

    90G RR Deep Blue, DIY 20L sump, Roll Top Canopy, and stand

    I've got the same tank. This is a good deal. Somebody jump on it. If I wasn't already set up I would take it (Sorry that doesn't help you, I know). Good luck with the upgrade

    Hermit Crabs and how they catch and sell them

    I hate seeing stuff like this. We bought 2 last year at the shore for my daughters. The only good news is, I have them in a pretty good environment and they are still alive after a year. Most of the time I hear from kids how they died within a few weeks (like the story says unfortunately).
