    Seahorse tank?

    I am thinking about setting up a seahorse tank. I already have a well established reef tank and am very familiar with saltwater tank requirements; however I have never had any experiences with seahorses. Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

    The coolest algae scraper

    Guys, I didn't say this was the end all, be all of scrapers. But I will say that it deinately makes it a lot easier to do a quick cleaning on your tank. When I am doing a deep cleaning, I jump right in with a blade and/or brush. But i must admit, so far this magnet thing has prevented me from...

    The coolest algae scraper

    Slyly, Thanks for the advice. Something else i just found out (the hard way) is to be very, very careful not to get a rock in between the magnets. It will definately scratch your glass. However, i really like it and am completly happy with it performance. My store sells replacement pads and...

    The coolest algae scraper

    I have found the coolest, easiest algae scraper. It is basically two magnets, one with a scrub pad on it and one with felt on it. You put the scrub pad one inside the tank, the felt one on the outside, oppisite each other. They attract to each other through the glass, then you just begin...

    Protein skimmers

    I have heard that EPS are about the best, but that is hearsay, as i have never had one and don't know anyone who does. The Rock or Reef Ranger may know for sure. I am extremely happy with my Tunze skimmer. In fact, i have slowly been switching to all Tunze products. The website is...

    Metal Halide: Worth it?

    I am about ready to switch from floresents to Metal Halide lighting. I have a 75 gal tank, and it is a reef system. I would just like to hear any opinions on whether anyone thinks it is worth the huge price or not? Thanks

    ETS Skimmers

    I know nothing about the skimmer you are asking about, however i will give you my two cents worth on what i like and dislike. I have used a couple different skimmers now, and I do not like the SeaClone skimmers. Hard to control and do not seem to work well. I totally dig my Tunze skimmer...

    Filtration Help

    I question the Seaclone skimmers. I don't know how other people feel about them, but i did not like them at all. It just never seemed to work well and was real hard to control. I switched to a Tunze skimmer. Hope all works out for you. MichaelB
