I decided to browse the board for the first time in awhile, and now Im glad I did. Took awhile to read but awesome thread! Originally posted by Lesleybird I think the theory and principals of the deep sand bed are good and valid for nitrate reduction, but I think for practical reasons it would...

Great job Barracuda. I hope my first acrylic job looks that good. It looks almost exactly like my MyReefCreations dual chamber reactor. As far as the media I have read what Richard mentioned above. CC tends to have higher levels of phosphate and some other unwanted stuff. I settled on...

In the beginning I only did it whenever I thought I needed to, and just the basic tests. Then there was the every-so-often period as the tank started to mature. Recently Ive collected pretty much every test kit I want to have and have been testing everything fairly often. Especially alk and ca...

Chevydragtruck; it works great IMO. There is also only four plugs total. You can run four powerheads and no main pump, or three powerheads and the main pump. I personally dont like the main return pump controlled by the wavemaker because on the "reef" setting when you put it in feeding mode it...

I'm expecting a new My Reef Creations dual chamber reactor in a couple of weeks. :D Man I cant wait. :p Anyways, for those of you who are currently running one, what else do you still dose? I still intend on using Kalk for top off for pH reasons. Should Iodine or Strontium be added or is there...

Ive got basically the same issue. The only BIG difference is that my culprit (Queen coris Wrasse) loves to just dive into the DSB and come up somewhere else. She also eats any living thing she finds while scavaging the sand bed. Shes always flipping over rubble with acro cuttings mounted to them...

YGM again. Please let me know if the deal on the live rock is still good. I can have payment to you before the end of the week if so. Thanks

Ive got a nice frag of a green branching Frogspawn with two heads. I'd be willing to trade for a big colt cutting. I'm not in the DFW area but close enough it should only take a day or two by Priority mail. I can email you a pic if your interested. Let me know.

Is that a Pinpoint?

Im glad you said that MLM. I just ordered the Hagen master test kit the other day so hopefully it will be here soon. I have read that they are accurate test kits. IMO the Red Sea kits suck. The calcium kit only measures in increments of 50. The Alk kit never matches their sample colors. My test...

Heres the latest of my 72. Your right Beth, lots of very cool reefs and pics on the board.

Brommer5, the last couple you did look like a few Pink Floyd album cover concepts, lol. Ryebread, I thought youd SEE your way into this, ha. Computers are such a cool toy, lol.:D

Heres mine, a Queen, or Formossa, or Red Coris, whatever ya like kind a of wrasse. Very interesting to watch for sure. He is a bit upsetting though when I watch him eat a blue leg, or stir up the sand so bad that it looks like he is a tornado in action, or the time he flipped over that coral or...

I'm with you sammy. Sticking to the "older" V-8 rear wheel drive muscle cars, of the GM variety myself. They arent the most expensive or saught after but I've got a 1994 Chevy Impala SS (mostly stock) for a family driver and a 1987 Olds Cutlass supreme project car. The Cutlass still has the 307...

The only LFS that sells it in my area wants $10 for a 12" runner. Bad part is its the only kind that doesn't like my water that I've found. I have had up to six types but they all were eventually taken over by my grape, the only kind I have left. Mushroom man, if ya wanna trade bag for bag I'd...

Are you refering to the two barbed type fittings at the top of the body, above the outlets? If so, I believe those are for overflow purposes only, not airlines. There should be a hole next to the barbed fitting on the left that goes through the entire top black body with the outlets. Just run...

Thats the most inner tube in the chamber. Install it with the divider at the bottom, then the bigger cylinder slides over it. HTH

According to a local Ro/Di water company the closer to zero the better. I recently replaced my sediment and carbon filters on my RI/DI unit. Before with the old filters the TDS was 30 ppm, now they are at 10 ppm. He told me that that was pretty good because my local water supply unfiltered is at...

Beef, Im not familiar with the exact dimensions on your 92 but am sure you could get at least two spider reflectors in there with a little trimming to them maybe. I got the 16" models from an online retailer for a decent price with sockets. With them end to end they would only be 32" long if you...

Hi Beefcake. The canopy is an Oceanic ABS that I bought new with the tank. The metal halide reflectors are mounted to the top of the canopy and the power compacts are mounted to the spider reflectors using PC bulb clips. Sorry I dont have a better pic as of yet to show you. With them installed...
