  1. Making the jump to LEDs

    So I finally decided to take the plunge into LEDs and after much debate I have chosen Ecotech Radion Pros. I picked up a couple Gen 1 standard models back in October but they didnt seem like enough for my tank so I went ahead and upgraded them to Pros in November. So what I have now is three Radion Pro Gen 2s over my 210 gallon mixed reef which replaced my three 14k Phoenix 250 watt Metal Halides.

  2. Giving Biopellets a go...

    So I finally decided to take the plunge into bio-pellets even though there are mixed reviews out there. I had been debating it for months and trying to read up on the best way to go about it but could not make a decision. There were just too many options and the reactors seemed endless. Then I saw the larger pellets that didnt need to tumble, so I figured I would give it a shot and ordered two 500 ml Reef Interest bags with a Phosban reactor 550. The reactor had nice large grates to allow good flow ...

  3. A Fraggin' Adventure - Part 2 (Equipment)

    Alright, to give you a better idea of where this is going, lets get a quick equipment run down out of the way. I knew going into this that I wanted a stacked tank system so that it would not take up much space. I also wanted to make the build easy and have collected most of your normal reef tank operating goods. This entry turned out to probably be too long, but I hope it helps and more importantly, I hope I have accounted for everything (who ever really does though, right?). If you missed Part ...

  4. A Fraggin' Adventure - Part 1 (Introduction)

    Hello Everyone!

    My name is Wes from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I have been reefing for just over 5 years now. About a year into it the bug hit me, who would have thought right?! Anyways, I started with a 55 gallon tank my friend gave me and my girlfriend Maria. Since then I have had a 3, 8, 28, 33, 40, 90, and a 210 gallon tank at some point - the 210 is currently my main reef tank. Things never end though and since Maria has a love for all that saltwater has to offer the madness ...
