I've heard many people say they are a waste, kill beneficial bacteria and pods. I dont believe they will prevent your tank from getting ich but I do believe they will help with fighting any outbreaks you might get. As far as pod's go.....my sump and live rock tank are loaded with them. Its...

Emperor Aquatics 80w on about 420g twv. I think the key to running it properly and getting the most out of the UV is proper flow thru it and how it is plumbed into your system. The EA website has a lot of great information about correct flow rates and different ways to plumb them into your system.

this is a steal!!!! I bought the same skimmer 2 months ago for $190 and it came with a bad pump. If no one buys this I just might buy it for the pump.

It's like the Allstate commercial....you just never know when mayhem is going to strike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

I stopped because my po4 problem went away and felt more comfortable using gfo despite the cost difference. I started to notice some white hazing on my glass and that is a known side effect of using it. I would suggest using gfo to lower po4 to the range you want it at and then use seaklear as...

What are your po4 levels? Go very slow with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

There's a big thread on rc about it. Just do a search for "lanthanum chloride" and you will find it. I have used it in the past with success. The key is to dose it slowly and use a 10 micron filter sock. If any of the precipitate gets in the dt it can irritate you the gills of your fish...

WP40 on my 72X36X28 I received my pump last week and have been playing around with it for a few days now. At first I wasnt getting much of a wave in my tank but finally found a good location for it and setting. I am pretty impressed with the initial quality of the pump and its just about the...

At $15 a pair, I think its a pretty good investment not just for you but also your corals. http://premiumaquatics.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PA&Product_Code=ESU-AF9505&Category_Code

After reading that article I think I am buying a pair of elbow length gloves!!!!

I've heard this before and from some friends on RC. Since the majority of my "hands in the tank time" is after I get my kids ready for bed which means Ive been dealing with soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lotion...my hands and arms are loaded with unwanted residue. So just as best practice now...

Did you really buy a truck just for this???????

I just hung my new ATI fixtures over my DT today and went with 5 blue+, 4 coral+ and 1 purple+. Love the combo when they are all on. Might add some reefbrites for some added pop during the dusk and dawn periods.

we ended up leasing thru the NJR Sun program. Our roof wasnt big enough to put enough panels up so we would be independent of the grid so I didnt want to put out a bunch of money and still have an electric bill. Our lease is supposed to be $79 a month but the panels have been up for 18 months...

I figure it out and I'm really angry at myself. We have hot tub and I always turn the breaker off during the winter since we don't use it. Well back in December I had an electrician out to do some work with moving some of our outdoor outlets. He must have turned it back on and I didn't...

We put a 9.8kw system on our house 18 months ago. It took a few months to see a difference in the bill but then the savings was apparent. However, over the last 6 months I have noticed that my consumption is going up every month without any significant changes to what we run in the house. I...

Thanks for the frags and glad the 65g will work out for you! I love that ATI light on your tank.....the battle to get rid of my light and go all t5's is growing in my mind. Cant wait to see the new tank.

The heat concern was brought up in the rc thread and so far there's no issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

I was told by the retailer that it is a combination of suction and magnet capable of holding onto 3/4" glass/acrylic.

I ordered one the other day and got confirmation that its being shipped on the 19th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
