thanks for the reply...found some interesting info. JBJ now offers a replacement power cord & fuse box (for a $35 fee)that is supposed to correct the problem. When asked why customers weren't offered this solution for free, JBJ said there is no problem.....(then why have a work around that...

I have run a JBJ 1/3HP chiller for 3 years without issues. This past week the chiller blew a fuse, changed it and started fine. 24 hrs later noticed chiller was out again. Repeated process, did basic service (cleaned out with air compressor) started fine. Following day, same issue, now out...

any recommendations on manu and watt prefernce for 240 gals......thx

I believe my problem originated from phosphates in bad water supply. I have since changed all filters and done several 20% water changes without success. What else can I do to get this problem under control?? New lights in Dec 06 No changes in feeding or new additions.. Time to buy a UV...

The tank is actually a converted fuge. I think it is @ 30 gallons. I live in The Colony (near Frisco).... unfortunately a couple of kick [hr] acros didn't make the transer and now are white as snow, sucks!! The others are acclimating well. Any imput on the green algae outbreak? I used to...

I recently added a grow out tank for my overpopulated reef. What types of lighting (w & k) do you use and what timing schedules? I am experiencing a pretty bad green algae outbreak but the display is fine...... 250W-10K for 10 hours, opposite the display lighting......

I have plenty of SPS, in green & blue, a couple in red (marroon). If I don't move them soon they will not survive an attack from my Hydnophora (Which I have frags of). I have a couple of softies that need to go, they need room to grow. Plenty of shrooms too. I'll get the glass cleaned this...

My reef tank is being over run with frags and corals....anyone interested in helping out by trading for some frags. I am fighting contant battles and need to do some weeding..... thanks

Hydnophora is very territorial and will attack everything within an inch of its space. I have lost lots of acro frags that have moved/fell into its reach. Mushrooms are not even safe. I have successfully fragged this thing several times, and am now stuck trying to trade all the frags to get...

Fishy I have hydnophora, xenia, shrooms, GSP's to get rid of. I have to send a care package to San Diego for a buddy, but anything left I am willing to trade. Got anything of interest? I also have been working on my acro collection (fragging) for the past year and have some great specimens to...

Dark wood view is the office side, rear of tank. Unusal viewing, not corals, but I see all the cool stuff like shrimp, starfish, bristles, and makes it easy to clean, all detritus collects back there. Livingroom side looks like the tank is in a picture frame.... easy maintanence now, montly...

My tank is between my office (converted bedroom) and the livingroom. I used the existing closet in the office as the tank space. Luckly, I have two hall closets on either side of the office closet. So I sacrificed the main entry closet and put the chiller in the floor in there. Cut vents...

For those not aware of where TX is..... its way down south. Definetly invest in a chiller and a big one! My tank previously ran at 86-88 degrees in the summer till I invested in a chiller. Nothing flourished, just survived.... Also, a majority of homes in TX don't have basements.... we live...

I don't know how much help I could be, but I live in Frisco and would love to see the setup. I have spend countless hours at LFS and have found some really good places to get steals. I also installed my 250g in the wall in my new home also, DIY.... I have a few corals I need to get rid of...

two power compacts that came with the Ecosystem setup. I admin they could be changed, however I have never experienced the removing handfuls of macro weekly. Could my 350+ lbs of LR and countless Xenia be extracting the nutrients that the macro needs? System has been up and running for 3...

What kind of flow do you need to allow maximum nutrient absorbtion by the macro??? I think mine has been to much and thus drastcially thinned out my caulerpa. In fact I have not trimmed in over a year, and its getting sparse ?????

Dallas North Aq is a terrible place! Over priced and unfair. The BEST place in the metro is Saltwater Paradise in Irving. Huge store on O Connor and 183, past TX stadium. Owner, Scott is an [hr] , but he imports the best stock by far. He is a little pricey too, but much better than...

I'm not sure of anything other than my tank is infested with little orange squares. The front half is squared off, the back half comes to three little points. They hang out in shaded areas on LR and coral bases. They don't seem to be on or eating any corals..... They are on the glass also...
