If its the Formosa fixture than Im pretty sure your stuck with the 65 watters. Thats all JBJ intended to be ran in there. For bulbs I would go with 2 10K's and 2 03 actinics. Dont go with JBJ's "blue" bulb. Its not aesthetically appealing IMO. As far as replacing the bulbs, you didnt say how old...

I run two mag 9.5's on my tanks. Never had a problem with either one of them. HTH

Ive used the Kent plastic scraper on an acrylic tank to remove coralline before. You just have to use some elbow grease and work on one little area at a time. This particular tank had coralline starting to block a good percentage of the view on the front of the tank. Thats the only time I...

You can click on the WWW below and there are pictures of my 72 bow from the beginning. I havent updated in awhile, but will be adding an updated folder here soon. IMO you have to use the southdown as a base for the DSB. Then use live sand for the upper layer. This helps keep the clouding down...

Thank you all. I knew you would understand. I guess I'll continue by saying that I have my other issues as well, like lighting. I wont EVER turn on/off a light over the reef. Thats the timers job, same time everyday. Same with rinsing hands and anything that will contact the aquariums water at...

Hi, my names Jean and I'm a reefaholic.... I know there have been numerous posts on the addictions of reef keeping, but I just gotta vent so here it goes.... Today while we were enjoying a well deserved day off my wife starts to spring clean(OH NO!:D). So since I was ONLY doing my "fish tank...

I use the Durso standpipe as shown on the link. I really like it and there is almost no noise at all. The only trick is getting the air flow adjusted just right to keep the water level in the middle of the street-L. HTH

Are those pics with the new canopy running? Sure like the "new" look of your tank. Especially the second, the coralline looks pretty cool.:)

Great website Ryan! I can appreciate the aquaria photos but the one titled Roaring Fork is just incredible! Keep us updated as you expand the gallery.

72 bowfront mixed coral reef here. Probably $3500 - $4000 invested to this point, including mistakes. I dont have an exact figure because I dont want my wife to see it.:D

Im in Wichita. I got lucky and found one pallet at the west Home Depot back in January or February. I bought 300 lbs at the time thinking it would be more than enough, now I wish I would have bought the whole pallet because I havent seen it since.:(

Thanks slothy, I was gonna point that out. Also, if you look at the little mini-jet 404, its not grey anymore, but three shades of purple.

What are your pH, alk, and calcium levels? These are the most important IMO. Heres a shot of my refugium. Lots of coralline.

I think they are. I never see mine during the day but he is always out and about once the lights go out. HTH

Like I said above. Im only asking $80.00 plus shipping for TWO 10000K bulbs that are two months old. Not a bad deal IMO. Metal halide bulbs can be used up to 18 months before they must be replaced if you wanted to push it. That means you would have up to 16 months of life left to get out of...

Well after seeing RyeBreads pics I thought I would try a little harder.:D This is about the best my camera will do for close ups and detail.

Since your a Bangaii breeder maybe you could help me out here. Ive got one Cardinal but am not sure if its a male or female. If I posted a pic would you be able to tell? Ive been told its visibly obvious by the shape of the jaw, but Im not sure what Im looking for. Also, Im interested in adding...

...and the last of my six pack.

Heres my wrasse. He is SO hard to keep up with
