    Odyssea lights?

    Originally posted by reefraff to claim it can't be beat. Hmmm. I can't find that anywhere in my posts "it can't be beat". What I did say was that for someone who is wanting to get into this hobby but is being discouraged by the expense, that this is a good way to move forward with good (not...

    Odyssea lights?

    I have read those posts too. I can count the number of them on my hands. I have read and "talked" to far many more folks (so many I would need a calculator) who have nothing but praise for thier products. I E-mail them and they E-mail me on a regular basis. They have held products for me so that...

    what kind of protien skimmer do i want ???

    The ASM skimmers are made by the other half of EuroReef after the two companies split. These are excellent skimmers utilizing THE SAME PUMPS, SAME DESIGN, and SAME AWESOME EFFICIENCY as the EUROREEF models. The ONLY difference is: The ASM skimmer utilizes an Extruded PVC body to save on...

    Gonfishin. When you get an order in of live rock, prep a bucket with a SG of about 1.040 and dip the rocks in one at a time for around 30 - 60 seconds. Alot of the hitch hikers will evacuate the rock and the rest you can pick out with tweezers.

    what kind of protien skimmer do i want ???

    The main point here is that when you get into the lower priced skimmers there is usally something about it that is lacking or not up to par. You can do a google on all those brands mentioned and you will find lots of negative comments. Even the ones that aren't negative still say that its OK...

    Odyssea lights?

    I think no matter who you deal with there is going to be folks that had bad experiances. I got four 58gal breeder tanks from a store moving to a new location. I bought all the skimmers, lights, and heaters from Aquatraders and the only problem was 1 broken bulb. Since the bulbs are free I had to...

    water pump sizing

    Just leave them both open. The overflow takes in only what you put into your main tank. The only time you will have problems is if you return more than the 1200gph. If your return puts 100 gallons in one hour into your main tank, then your overflow will let 100 gallons in 1 hour go out. And so...

    Thier No.1 food is Flatworms. Just about the only thing. My son got some live rock that had alot of Flatworms hitchhike in. So we got Nudi's. Once they ate them all, they starved and expired.
