I don't have halides but I have an Orbit Extreme that's putting out almost 10 watts per gallon. I have some acropora frags in the same tank and they've been doing great. Not the growth I would have with halides of course but they are healthy and look sweet.

Just wanted to share. My first clam. Pic doesn't do it justice. Awesome looking Derasa. :joy:

Thanks puffer. I just didn't want to hurt anything. Can't wait to get it.

I've never attached any coral with super glue. Can someone tell me the proper procedure so I don't kill anything? I know to use the gel. I read you should dry off the rock and the bottom of the coral. But how long can it be out of the water? Should I just dry off the bottom and the rock...

Started another reef about a month ago. You're not alone!! I think I've checked my nitrites about 5 times just this week. LOL!!!

I got one of these for top-off and planned to use kalk water, but it suggests not to do that as it may harm the pump or clog up the line. Anyone use using kalk water to top-off with these systems? Think I should be ok if I'm diligent about cleaning it and regularly flushing the pump with fresh...

I'm on week 4 of a new 55 gal and my nitrites are still pretty high. And the hair algea is getting a little thick. I cut down on the lights but my question is should I do a WC to maybe control a bit of the hair until I get a cleanup crew in there, or should I wait until the trites are...

I have an RO/DI unit so I don't buy water anymore, but when I did I would buy gallon jugs from Publix of distilled water... .$.69ea After a while I tested a lot of different bottled waters just out of curiosity. Aquafina & the cheap Publix water was about .005 with my TDS meter. I don't know...

Just wanted to sing the praise of American Marine for a second. I have a Pinpoint wireless thermometer, a PH Meter, Salinity Monitor, and now a Calcium Monitor. A few are pricey and may seem unnecessary to some but I LOVE the convenience and accuracy that they allow. I have never had a...

Definitely killer whale!

Thanks for all the comments guys. Yes, that is actually a poorly designed sump in my opinion but you get what you pay for. I didn't make it. I did however solve the problem by removing the sand that was pushed down underneath the lower baffle. It was creating a kind of suction effect and...

Didn't lower the level in the box. I used the screws on either side and lowered the box where the level in the DT is now lower, and therefore running properly. My return pump was sucking the sump dry and almost overflowing the DT. Couldn't figure out why. But thiat did the trick...

Any song you uncheck while in iTunes will just be omitted and NOT be loaded onto whichever ipod you're trying to load. They will still be on your computer in the iTunes folder, just not on your ipod.

You just use the iTunes program to add, delete, or play any songs you have in your computer. Whatever you want from your ipod, load that into iTunes. Then hook up the nano and all the songs you have in iTunes should be there for the taking so to speak. Then just check/uncheck any songs you...

Ok...so relieved. Should have paid attention in physics. Would have saved myself days. For anyone who cares, the overflow box was set too high so the level in the DT was too high. And the sand was blocking the lower baffle so that it was creating a sort of suction of the sand up into the...

Well I 've had it pointed in the middle coming from a flex hose at first, then replumbed it like this, then at the glass, piled the lr to flow on top of that, set the flow to go into an old overflow box weighted down with lr...nothing worked. Wherever I aim it, it will push the sand down...

I actually think I got the flow low enough in there the way I did it. It kind of trickling through the filter, but you could just breathe heavy in there and it kicks up sand. I don't get it.

I'm not going to call myself stupid yet but I am just not understanding this. Please help! I have been messing with this for days now and can't seem to get it right. #1. The overflow is rated 600gph. My pump is about 900gph So, I put a ball valve on the return to solve that. Doesn't seem...
