here is the tests on my last batch of Tropic Marin Temp-79 S.G.- 1.025 Sal-34 pH-8.15 pinpoint monitor dKH-9.9 Alk-3.54 Calcium-420 Mag-1290

I'll say it one more time Tropic Marin. You get what you pay for i.e. good and bad. I have tested 7 salts and nothing I have tryed compares to Tropic Marin. Could be willing to try this Ocean Pure from Via Aqua if someone could give some tests. Although I have never seen it for sale. Are...

And just to help reefreak out it is Tropic Marin, and yes it is the best salt going IMHO. I like Kent as well. Have tried many others and the quality is not there. Just tried Seachem reef salt with wifes tank, that stuff doesn't mix well at all leaves flakes of unabsorbed salt in the tub...

mystic, yours is very nice! Great shots too1 I can't get mine to hold still long enough to get good pics. Mine loves mysis as well and eats right out of my hand like dogstars did. Mine loves formula 1 cubes as well but prefers mysis. Here is a good shot of mine. P.S. mine ate all my...

Hey, I have had mine for about 3 months in a mixed reef and he has not touched a thing. We love him, one of our favorite fish. Mine eats mysis like it's going out of style. He also likes formula one cubes and brine shrimp soaked in Zoecon.

Why can't you get 14K? I have dual 250w mogul base and run 14K's with 4x65w PC actinics and love the color.

fedukeford, yes that is what will happen next week when I get my Calcium reactor. Reef33, god I hope so! It does have a certain smell to it down there. Crox, my wife has taken it like a champ! She just said "oh well it could have been worse and now we know we have to replace the carpeting when...

I am an ER nurse and I work 12hr nights. I came home yesterday morning to about a 20g flood on my carpet downstairs. The C-clamp or circle clamp that holds my return tube from my overflow broke off and the water poured out! I do not know how long it had been but so far everything looks OK...

NO, even with the filter stuff and draining the water he is just to crafty. It is weird he didn't touch anything for 9 months and then all the sudden starts picking at SPS. I really do like the fish as well. Gonna wathc and see how it goes, maybe try to catch him again some other day. Or...

Hoover, I paid somewhere between $600-650 for the set up last year. Prices a little higher this year. I am unfamiliar with taking an enclosed piece apart and using those, although expect it can be done.

corbin, thanks for the props but I have seen much better tanks. Talk about crazy growth look at the first pic from when the tank was 2-3 months old and you can see the Colt coral at the far end. How small it was. Then look at the now pics and see the monster it has grown into. I am fragging...

Bruce, I feed my fish 2 times a day algae and flake or pellets in am and a mix of mysis, formula1, squid, spirulina, and brine in the PM. He definately gets enough to eat. He just started with an orange monti dig I put in and since then has started on the birdsnest's and stylo frtags. He is...

Any ideas on how I can get my Red Sea Mimic blenny out of my tank. I love the little bugger but after 9 months he is now starting to eat my SPS corals. He pics at my birdsnest's, stylophora, monti dig. He is just driving me nuts, and if it's between him and the corals, well the corals win...

promise pretty much hit it on the head. Mine is great, eats mysis and Prime reef and formula 1. He ate all the pest mini featherdusters in my tank and yes they will eat the ornamental ones as well so no dusters or porites with worms in it. I have mostly SPS but also have Xenia, zoo's and...

Ok, the K stands for Kelvin rating the higher the number the bluer the bulb. I started with 10K and now run 14K because I like the little bluer look than the white of the 10K. I got great growth out of my SPS with the 10K. Have only run the 14 K for 2 months so don't know about how good the...

Thanks NM. Is the tird pic a green birdsnest? Looks awesome! I want one!

Hoover, here is my set up. PFO dual 250w MH with Current 4x65w PC's and Spyder light reflectors. Can't give you the sites here but just google retrofit or metal halide reef lighting and you will get tons of sites.

Awsome pics NM. I may be wrong but isn't that a Scolymia not a Cynarina?

Now 2/2/06. Wow what a change in corals and livestock. These pics are after a crash in which I lost 8 SPS pieces but no fish lost. I just added 6 frags of SPS as well. Starting to come together like I had envisioned it. Comments welcomed. Tank 120g w/ 30g sump fuge. 2x250w MH and 4x65w...
