hey marc what camera do you use for your tank shots? and how much did it run you?

Hey Melev, I read u're article on keeping sps corals and found it very helpful, I have a couple of questions for you. Is there any easier acro's that u would recommend? I'm looking for something that would prefer a placement at top of my tank. I've never experimented w/ them, I do have some green and pink birdsnest and a pink cup coral that seem to do well. I have a taller more narrow 46gal tank w/ 6 T-5HO bulbs, reef octopus skimmer but no sump. My current stand doesn't have room for one unfortunately. I usually do a water change every 10 days approximately 5 gallons.

hey melev could you post an article on the best way to cure live rock to avoid getting the pest in the rock at the stores?? thanks

Hey melev. Can I and how do I change my screen name?

Hi Melev. I was wondering where do you purchase the Biospheres from? What website do i go to?

Two questions: What is the cyano treatment you recommend? Also can I get away with just one vortech in my 6 ft long 135?
Thanks

Hi Marc,

I am putting together a 120 gallon reef tank and find that I am copying or "adapting" a lot of what you have done with your new 400 display tank. I hope you don't mind.

Thanks

Right on! Thanks! Yeah, all seems to be well! Yaaayyy! I love diy's! Thanks a ton! I promise pics this weekend of the sump, her tank, and mine as well as full backrounds on all.

I actually have a 1" bulk head. But tonight I got crazy, and cranked the return way up. It blew micro bubble for a few minutes cause it drained its side of the sump, but then, BAM! Things equaled out for the most part, and I found a new happy medium between 3/4 and 7/8 capacity. So, your overflow could handle a lot more than I thought. This weekend I made it a goal to get some good pics of both tanks and the sump and do some good posts. I already went through tonight with the scraper and got everything photo ready. Thanks again, I can't tell you how hepful you, and everybody is on this site. Its so great to have so much diverse, hands on experience because I wanna do everything right!

Thanks for all the help! I built your overflow, and its so sweet!! But, im curious about how you mentioned in your diy about it you'd consider making the all around siphon chamber a 3/4" gap rather than 1/2". I only ask because my return pun has to be turned WAY down to about 1/4 its potential because the overflow can't keep up only due to the siphon. I would love to be able to get a bit more flow going so I can delete one of the powerheads in my girlfriends tank. Thanks for any input, I greatly apriciate it because from what I gather you're pro ahoy swamped.
