    Two Methodoligies to keep a reef tank

    Mark, thank you for responding. I also don't know how long fish keep their immunity but I am sure it varies by species. About the 72 days of quarantine, I would think way more fish die with that long a quarantine then they do with disease. About the live food, I actually want the bacteria...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    So today I am making stuffed Calamari with linguini for one of the seafood dishes we will have tonight for Christmas Eve dinner. We are Italian so we have to have at least 7 types of seafood today. Last year we had 21 because we all bring something. Anyway I am stuffing the squid and I had to...

    Two Methodoligies to keep a reef tank

    There are actually two very different methodiologies to run a reef tank. I am not talking about dosers, controllers, bio pellets, etc. I am talking about either qurantining everything or not quarantining anything but keeping everything immune. There are advantages and dis-advantages of each...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I finally found a use for the waste water from RO/DI. It was looking me in the face for years and all of a sudden as I was looking at my worm tank I said. "Like Duh". I am wasting all this water and my blackworm tank is right under my RO unit. So now the waste water goes into the worm...

    Water cooled LED fixture

    A friend gave me fifty lenses for my new water cooled LED fixture. They made a big difference and now I don't go blind when I open the front of the tank. They also cut down on the scattered light that was going all over the place as I hate to see the back of the tank. I still need about 20...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Now that my water cooled light works I think I will build another one for my algae scrubber. I think this one will be an air cooled copper one because it will be to small for a water pump. I just need to buy a copper plate about 8" square and I am going to solder fins all over the back and add...

    Water cooled LED fixture

    Actually a member is sending me some lenses for this thing. That should double the output and put the light where I want it. I go blind when I open the top of the tank

    Heart attack is the thing you need to say, but eventually we will all say that and no one will get in because we will all seemingly will be having heart attacks. :eek: We are all recovering, thanks.

    Water cooled LED fixture

    I just installed the new water cooled lights and they work perfectly. They seem brighter than my old lights and they should be because there are almost twice as many LEDs. I am running them a few inches higher than the old fixture for a day so the corals have time to put on sunscreen. So far...

    Why do so many people leave the hobby?

    I think if there were no problems it wouldn't interest me and we would call it stamp collecting. :dance:
