    A few updated pictures...

    I love Oceanic tanks personally. The only draw-back to mine is it only has one door in the stand. Your 175 has double doors which you will find to be very useful. Thats why my sump and refugium are plumbed outside of the stand because I couldnt get the volumes of water I wanted to fit neatly and...

    A few updated pictures...

    Hes been doing great since I got him from my LFS. Him and the Bubble seem to get along OK. I do plan on a small re-arrange soon because Ive got two Montiporas on the way. I cant wait for those. I will say that the Frogspawn loves intense light. I think thats a big factor of his size as well.

    If someone has a calcium reactor that they would like to part with I would be willing to trade the bulbs and some cash to square up the deal. Any takers?;)

    OT: Cool ghost in the backgrround. Must have sound to hear the moaning...

    Same here. I was leaning forward with my face about a foot from the monitor concentrating on trying to find the ghost. Next thing I know my heart is beating so hard I swear you could have seen it through my shirt.:D

    Vion Z6 175 watt Metal Halides for sale

    I think they are in the yellow/white part of the spectrum. I just replaced these two with new Ushio 10000K bulbs and they are about as crisp white as you can get. The Ushios also appear to be brighter, even running off the same ballast as the Vions.

    Oceanic Reef Ready tanks

    I went to an open house show for manufacturers yesterday in Oklahoma City. They had an 80 gallon bowfront set up there. I dont remember which booth had the tank set up though. It looks pretty innovative to me. Plus the overflow appeared to be quite from what I could tell in a large convention hall.

    Oceanic Reef Ready tanks

    I've got a Oceanic 72 Bowfront reef ready and love it. Its a very beautiful aquarium. A little more expensive than All-Glass, but I think it was worth it. As far as your look through goes, depending on which size tank you get, you'll have one or two overflow boxes in the corner(s) that will...

    Are certain tangs not reef-safe?

    I've had a Purple Tang and Yellow Tang for nearly two years now. About 5 months ago I moved them to my new 72 reef and they havent touched a coral(SPS, LPS and softies). The Purple is way more aggressive than the Yellow. Thats why Im stuck to three fish, I dont want to add more because the...

    Bad saltwater conditions?

    I doubt it makes much difference. The unit still produces about the same amount of water as before in an equal time frame. But just in case I have been adding Fritz dechrlorinator to all water for the tank. I lost another fish today. I got home from work and found the male clown dead. Its just...

    Bad saltwater conditions?

    The Flame was the newest addition, which was about 2 months ago. The rest of the fish in my tank now I have had for more than a year. My two tangs are nearing two years with me. Diet consists of a combination of seaweed select, frozen brine shrimp plus, frozen pygmy angel formula, frozen prime...

    Bad saltwater conditions?

    Nothing. I have added nothing to the tank and have removed nothing from the tank in at least 2 months. I have only done routine top-offs, Kalk dosing and water changes. Ive searched my memory for the most minute detail and have not been able to think of anything I have done differently. When I...

    Bad saltwater conditions?

    Im trying not to be vague here, but I am at a loss with what to do with my sickening fish. I have done nothing different to my reef at all. In the last week my two clowns, royal gramma and flame angel all are infested with ick. Every parameter I can test for is OK. My corals are all doing well...

    whats good for ick

    Heres a few questions while sort of on the topic. Where do you all get your garlic? Is it sold in a LFS in your area? Whats the brand name? Ive been wanting to start using it but have been unable to find the stuff. Thanks all. Mini-Reefer
