    So who holds the title as Largest Northern CA fish store

    Exotic-Aquarium state they are the largest but Aquarium showroom has to rival it, right? I know its not really an important question nor topic but to say your the largest store in NorCal is a pretty big statement. So who holds the title?

    Maybe a stupid question but I wanted to know your experience.

    I've been running my two 250 watt radiums 6 hours a day with my two 110 vho coming on an hour before and shutting off at the sametime as the halides. I've been doing this to save money on electricity and the corals show great growth. The only thing I've been questioning is wether or not I am...

    Tunze wavemaker

    I was looking into getting a wavebox but had a question. Do these boxes tell you the amount of GPH output? If not, how do you calculate the amount of turnover in a tank? I ask cause I'd take out one of my powerheads and replace it with the wave maker. Thanks

    Wavysea tunze connection

    I was inspired by Perry's wavysea tunze connection that I was wondering if it would work for a seaswirl? Can anyone confirm this? Or another option rather than just buying a wavysea (cost almost double of a seaswirl). Thanks...

    Tunze mini wavebox vs 2nd generation vortech

    Okay, I was always amazed with the tunze waveboxes that I wanted one. But unfortunatly the first ones made were for larger aquariums and would be overkill for my 120.
