i always hook my extra tanks to my reef and make it a mangrove or a lagoon or something.......it only cost like $50-$100 to make it into a mangrove which are pretty cool and a nice place to aclimate small fish to your system... Brad

chaeto is a very good macro algae....won't cling to your rocks and is much better looking than caulerpa imo....i think you were asking what kind of macro to use right??( you just asked which one is best and i assume you mean algae)

yea i just got 450 pounds of equipment in a total of 26 boxes for my new tank...i bought it now so i could test everything and understand exactly how to use it before being set up...altho my dad isn't happy about renting a truck to take it and my new tank that is being purchased in conneticut...

i have never seen any fact that is only good for a little while..just ppl saying it...it seems that much carbon could not asbord enough to fill it completely within a week

really????? i thought it only had three weeks two...hmm maybe i should change every month then???????.....I think the carbon can last that long Brad

yep....the kalk. has a chemical reaction with PO4 and it makes it percipate into the water (onto the sand) where it can be removed by skimmer or water cahnges a lot easier Brad oh and also the kalk can be skimmed out a little to (not enough to really be a problem) pu that can also cause excess...

are you guys using southdown......that crap leaches silicate after a few months that the diatoms love...... Brad

well they say it is only good for less than a week......changing every two to 4 weeks (using esv) works great for me.........................i mix half phosban and half carbon and run for 3 weeks and it works great oh and viet-tin i sent you an email Brad

looks sweet john.........gotta love it eating pellets Brad p.s. when you getting your big tank set up in the new house????

get a two little fishies phosban reactor and fill it with carbon if you want something that works 10X as much as the emperor 400 or any canister filter......if you get a small maxijet and the reactor its only like 50 bucks and like i said works great if you want the site were to get them email...

wow good deal...i just blew $914 on my new calc. reactor plus monitor and controller

only 300 dollars on a calc. reactor imo- all working (well top grade) calc. reactors even for a small tank should be 500 dollars magic_carp- if you don't have a pH controller i would highly recommend one Brad

no shots just got a cam. a month ago............. I document every species growth though Brad

looks like it could become a tri color with green polyps along the road....the coralites look like thast species although i can't remember there scientific name right now

oh and if it a softy do 6 150w's Brad

if your going on sps......I have been researching this topic myself and have found that for an sps tank of 6' long and 24 inches wide to go with 6 250 de hgi lights in this pattern ll ll ll alternate each one 20k and 10k..this gives you a bluish white crispy light that is very bright and is...

thats why i said most....there are a few that don't grow fast...but overall sps are the fastest growing corals on the reef......also with very bright lighting, good flow, water quality you should get about 1/2 every month or two out of the oregon and the purple monster
