Thanks for the info.. I will look into it. Carlos

chocochipper , thanks for the info. I need to buy one I guess. I was wondering if I can just buy a regular ballst at Home Depot. Maybe I can save a couple of pennies! Take care, Blue Marlin

My vho lights stopped working so I replaced the light bulbs thinking that one of them had gone bad. However, that was not the case! When I turn on the new lights, they look like they want to light up at one end but not at the other. I think the ballast has gone bad but I really don't have a...

Are there any reeftank test kits that test for elements other than the basics such as magensium, strontium, oxigen, etc. How about electronic test kits. ANy info is really appreciated!!!!

I am going to change my light bulbs this week. As far as the phosphate levels in my tank, I took a third sample to a lfs and the readings were 0. So this leads me to believe that results could be distorted whenever my tests were done in a plastic test tube. Every time I tested the phosphate...

I am sorry I forgot to mention the size of my tank. But it is a 200 gal. Oceanic (I actually have two but the other is cycling at this time). As far as water changes go, I am not too crazy about making them as drastic as I have been in the past two weeks. The water changes came recommended by...

A few things are happening to my tank and I am having a hard time figuring out my problems. First let me start with some of the data. PH - 8.3; Calcium 410; Temp. 76.8; nitrates - 20; amonia and nitrites - 0; phosphate (tetra test kit) reads 1 mg/l, ( hagen test kit) reads 0. I am doing water...

Oceanic makes a really nice one and its quality is top notch. I am considering trading my regular 200g for a 175 gal bow front that they make. Talk to your lfs; they can order one for you. Good luck.

No, my pump is not a Turbo and neither I bought it new; it came with a tank that I bought a few months ago. I will guess that the skimmer is probably a year or so old. It was working pretty good when I bought the tank BUT I am not quite sure what pump was on it. At any rate, thanks for the...

I just installed a Berlin protein skimmer in my 200 gal tank. I attached a Rio 2100 pump and it seems to be working somewhat fine! I still feel that the skimmer is not working hard enough. My question is this - should I put a bigger pump in it, i.e., 2500 or 3100 without doing damage to the...

You gang have interesting ideas. I think it is innevitable that I take the fish to the LFS until I get everything going. I already have 4 55 gallons trash cans that I will be using and I have spare pumps a light fixtures that I can use as well. My friend offered me a 55 gallon tank that I can...

I have one for my two hundred gallons. Yes, they are costly but they work great! I will do it all over again. Hint! price them out...you may get a deal and then call the direct. he may match it or beat it! good luck

O.K. folks this my dilemma. I currently have an Oceanic 200 gallon tank with approximately 150- 175 pounds of LR, corals and fish. I always thought the tank coud use more corals, and LR. At any rate, last week I ran into someone who was selling another 200 gal reef tanks for a really decent...
