Equipment

  1. thinking about changing my lighting...

    Let me first start off by saying I have no living corals anymore. I had a bit of a temperature issue which has been resolved but I am also wondering since I had some issues keeping sps alive prior to the temp issue if my lights had something to do with it. I currently have no hair algae and tank parameters are within range.

    Anyway on to the reason for my topic. My wife has given me permission to purchase 2 ecotech radions XR30w pros. I hate the cost of them of them as we all do but ...

  2. Thinking of starting over.....any thoughts

    Ok so I have been through a lot with my current tank and set up but I am starting to lose some very hardy corals and as well there are some things and corals I would like to rid my tank of (blue clove polyps, xenia.) My rock I bought "live" but it is not very porous and I think may be leaching some bad into my water as well. So I am thinking about "starting over" and wanted to get some input.

    First off if i do this my equipment and tank would remain the same but ...
  3. Why we should all buy a RO-DI unit (from melev...cough cough)

    While reading and posting a response to a fellow reefer I got off on this topic and rather than typing all this up on a post I figured I would share my knowledge on this subject in a blog rather than a response post. To give everyone a little background I am former US Air Force and my job consisted of plumbing, natural gas, fire systems, maintenance and new installations, as well as water purification. I worked in this particular career field for 6 years before leaving the military to spend more ...
  4. 9 hours well spent!

    Well everything finally came in and so my day was spent putting it all together aside from the bio pellet reactor. I had requested a completely different one but to make a long story short Coral Vue sent me this bohemoth to make up for the delay, unfortunately I have no use for a reactor this big and will be trading it in on one a little more tank size appropriate (if they had sent me a larger skimmer that would be a different story though)

  5. Tax time = equipment upgrade!

    For anyone who has not read any of my most recent posts (though most recent may still be a couple months old) I have been fighting with Caulerpa Toxifica and hair algae. I have done frequent water changes, water parameters check out good (with a test kit but I will hit on this subject again later), lighting is a few months old so still within spectrum, and I am close to hair falling out over the stress this is causing me lol. So now that everyone is caught up here is my thought process.
