  1. My 75G Reef Tank - Recent Build

    Hi all! I've been reading blogs from this site for a long time now and figured it was time I share my setup. My tank has been setup now for 8 months. My plan it to create a mixed reef system, SPS dominant. I only have a few corals currently, and want to make sure my system is matured and have been waiting until I get all the equipment I want before adding more coral. This is my first setup so I have been researching and experimenting so I get it all right the first time. My setup includes: ...

  2. Colder weather won't stop my certification

    The final part of my SCUBA certification involves open water dives this weekend. I'm going to two different lakes, one per day. The car is loaded up with gear and an ice chest will hold food and drinks.

    What you see in this image are two air tanks, 5mm wet suit, 5mm hoodie vest, BCD, weights, log book, and a few smaller items. Not pictured are my fins, prescription mask, snorkel, and booties. And towels, clothes, first aid kit, etc.

I did not cycle the tank though ...

  4. Skimmer Swabbie repaired

    The Skimmer Swabbie offered by AvastMarine.com is a great way to keep the neck of the collection cup clean. A motor rotates a squeegee within the riser, as often as a timer allows. I've been using the Skimmer Swabbie for about two years. A few months ago, the motor stopped and I ordered a replacement.

    Fortunately, my tank sitter came over and helped get it swapped out because it was on my To Do list. A few weeks later, it was making strange noises so I called up Justin at Avast ...

  5. Longest tank repair in History?

    It's been forever since I've checked-in on Reef Addicts. I still don't see a 400g in Marc's living room? Did they ship via PAC MULE? Seems like a year ago? Need our fix.
