Here goes, not much color but I finally got a feel for the camera (need a tripod now, this hobby spawns multiple other hobbies which also cost a lot of money lol).

Anyone know of any programs for the MAC that are like reefcon and not macquarium? Yes I use an Apple. Don't shoot me. I was a PC technician for 3 years and will never use one again. Cheers! NaCL

This is a long shot but does anyone know the power ratings for a Coralife Aqualight 2x96w? I can't find the info anywhere on the unit and I'm trying to get my timers to work with it but I think they are under rated. Any ideas? Cheers!

While I have been keeping a tank for 3 years I still consider myself a newbie (as this disclosure will either confirm or deny lol). Recently (11/24) I added a LT Anemone and a Flame Hawk to my tank (60 gallon) along with a Clarkii, two cleaner shrimp, and a Bi-Color Blenny that have been living...

All of my test kits were getting low so yesterday i bought the hagen master test kit. I've used their calc and po4 tests before but has anyone had any problems with their PH test? The thing is showing colors that aren't on the charts?!? What the heck? I must have tested my water 5 different...

Hey gang, i just switched to feeding frozen prime reef (which the fish love btw).. but this is my first attempt at feeding frozen foods. How much should I feed (like one block, half a block, 1/4... 1/8.. 1/32... lol)?? I'm used to flake and can judge that just fine but I seem to be putting too...

I have a 100 micron filter sock. It is getting clogged, rinsing it does not seem to do the trick. Any ideas on how to clean it? Someone mentioned to put it in the washing machine but I dunno about that...

Here is the deal: I just (finally) got a job. That means ONE thing (other than the fact that I can now afford food): I can now buy real lighting. If you had alloted $400.00 to spend on lighting, what would you buy for a 60 gallon tank? I want to start planning now because it'll take me awhile...

Hey Gang, I was wondering if there was anything I could keep under 96W of PC light (58 gallon tank about 60 lbs LR). I plan on upgrading over time to much more lighting (was thinking 2x175w MH w/ some PC or VHO... i dunno yet) but want to get started getting maybe some zoo's or something, would...

I can't seem to find a replacement bulb for my PowerQuad lighting system... it is a 96w bulb.. I think it was made by custom sealife (that now defunct company). I am upgrading in the next 6 months to some VHO but need to rpl this bulb to get me by (it is almost a year old). Any ideas?

Hey gang, I was wondering if anyone had a method to create your own live rock. I've heard it is possible as long as you have the time, and well I've got the time but I don't have the money!! Anyone know how to do this? It would help me out a lot because I really want some more rock but I just...

I finally got a decent digital camera and can share my tank with everyone. I'd like everyones opinions. Please be gentle, I don't have a lot of spare money so everything I get takes me pretty much forever (that EuroReef was an anomaly) but for better or worse here it is: Full Tank:

Well now that I have a camera I can show this to you, this stuff has been in my tank for a few months now. None of the inhabs seem any worse for wear but I don't think it is supposed to be there. Any ideas?

I just put two cleaner shrimp and a firefish into my setup three days ago (60G / Bi-Color Blennie / Clarkii / setup for 1 year or more everything stable)... they just seem to kinda hang out behind my rock work. Do they eventually become more active? I am concerned that perhaps my temp is a...

I'm getting this weird neon green algae on my back glass. It is hard, like coraline , and next to impossible to scrape off. I'm also getting little splotches of it where the water from my return line hits the front of the glass. The back of my glass looks like someone painted it neon green. Any...

My Euro has been running for about 3-4 days and I'm getting a whole bunch of water in the collection cup. About how long should it take before it starts to really skim? Is there anything that I should do / be concerned about? Thanks!

I'm grooming my 58 to turn into a reef. Currently I have a Clarkii and a Bi-Color blennie. I want to add two fire fish and a naso. I have had the Clarkii for almost two years and the bi-color for about 9 months and am very anxious to get some more fish in this tank!!! I want to order from...

My Euro-Reef skimmer gets delivered today! I can't wait. Sorry this thread is pointless but you are the only people that would possibly care :) My wife thinks i'm crazy... :rolleyes: /END POINTLESS THREAD

Currently I have a 60 gallon with about 45-50 pounds of live rock (looks pretty sparse) a 800 GPH HOB overflow (which isn't putting out anywhere near 800 GPH) and one 200 GPH PH. What should I add (if anything)? My initial concern is that I am not getting enough water flow in my tank. If I am...

As per the revelation given to me by Bang Guy I finally believe that it is time to junk my old skimmer. Any opinions on the Euro-Reef ES5-2? I have about 70 gallons between my tank and sump. I found one new for $228.00. Good price? Any other recommendations around that price range? I'm just...
