    Do you still have your ReefKeeper? I have my RapidLED kit hooked up to the ALC and it ramps them up and ramps back down.

    If you paint the back of the tank black you will barely see the overflow. ;)

    The reason the overflow is offset is because of the stupid center brace! I couldn't get the nut into the overflow box and there was no way to hold it so I could tighten it with the brace in the way. I'm glad I realized that before I cut the hole!!! The vertical center brace could work also. I...

    Cleaning Questions after hurricane

    Sorry to hear about your loss. :( I know parts of Cranford, Westfield and Garwood were without power for a long time. My friend who lives on Grove street just got his power back Friday. Downtown Cranford got hit hard, First Aid squad was underwater and the police station also had to be evacuated.

    With the syncra 5 you will want 3/4" returns. My thread was lost but here is my 65 with the G-H 700 and two drilled 3/4" returns. Not sure what stand you have but if it has the center brace like mine does in the picture below. You can mount the manifold to the underside of that cross brace...

    If you run pellets it is not recommended to run GFO for phosphates. The GFO can starve the bacteria of the nutrients it needs the remove nitrates/phosphates.

    He's alive, thought I lost him! (Again)

    I have a feather duster in one of my pieces of live rock that I've had for 3 years. He's about one inch across and I was worried he was gone since I haven't seen it in two weeks . I was just feeding the biocube and noticed he is back out. :D He is my oldest surviving tank inhabitant, and lived...

    Or they could have used the fine print like fast food chains. "Average length before cooking." :)

    What do you consider High, Medium and Low Bioload as?????

    Fish size and type of fish is also key to the equation. However, I don't think there is an actual equation for low/med/high loads vs. tank size, at least not that I've found in the 3 years I've been into saltwater. It's more of a fly by the seat of your pants, based on experience, kind of thing...

    Typically LEDs last around 50,000 hours. More or less depending on what current you are driving them at, heat and so on.
