Hey Everybody, I know there are A LOT of nice tanks down here in the South Bay. I was thinking of organizing a tour similar to the one you just had. Probably some time in June or even July could work. I see it as a good opportunity to actually meet some of the folks we keep interacting...

So I have a rock that's covered in red mushrooms and would like to break them up and place them in DBTC. I'm stoked because I started with one mushroom and probably have like 25 or more now. They are all on a decent sized rock. Chisel and hammer the best way? Any info would be much...

Hey All, So I originally bought 3 PowerBrites to place over my tank after seeing Jason's set up. Then a few weeks later I see the ReefBrites and Jimmy and I decide to pick up 2 - 48 inch bars. Perfect for his tank, a bit short on mine. However the spread on the ReefBrites are great. I...

Hey Everybody, I wanted to ask you guys your opinion on keeping Tangs together. "The Reef Aquarium" says yes you can keep Zebrasoma Tangs (Yellow, Purple) together if you introduce them at the same time otherwise they will fight. I've also heard that if you're going to keep...

Hello, Anybody out there have a long drill bit for drilling live rock that I can borrow? I want to use acrylic rods but don't really wanna spring for a drill bit I'll use like twice in my life. Please let me know....thanks. Viet

Hey All, So I decided on a 3x80w bulb IceCap system from Neptune (thanks Robert!). He gave me two AquaBlue Specials and a Blue Plus bulb. I also orderd the Powerbrite LEDs. After seeing Jason's (Eight) tank with just the Powerbrites on (super blue...check out the pic!), I'm wondering if...

Hey Guys, What's your opinion on running the Icecap 660? Only thing to run or are other ballast fine? I'm looking at this kit http://www.aquacave.com/60-tek-2-t5-retro-kit-br--2-x-80w-lampsbr-by-sunlight-supply-2177.html but have read the 660 is the best. Is it really? I've been using...

Hey Guys, I haven't been on a group ride in a long long time so I was thinking of putting one together. Anybody here down to go for a little ride? Route can be whatever we want, short, long, but hopefully twisty. Maybe we can do a ride and check out shops or tanks? Open for whatever...

Hey Guys, Its about time I go and aquascape my 135. I was wondering if anybody can give me tips to make it easier (if there is such a thing). I'm thinking: 1. Remove all corals into moving buckets 2. Pull all rock? 200+ lbs! 3. Aquascape outside of tank to get an idea (which...

Hey Guys, I have an 05 Dodge Ram that needs some maintenance. Started with brakes, but I'm thinkin I need to flush/replace the tranny fluid too. Brakes I can do, tranny fluid I rather would not (mess, no garage) so I was seein if anybody new a good mechanic or shop that they trust and...

Hey All, Can anybody help me out with these zoo's? I moved them over and they were doing ok until one day they started to just look a little crusty if that makes any sense. They stopped opening up and have been stuck the way they are in the picture. I tried a lugols dip and it hasn't...

Hey Guys, So my 135 is up and running. Pretty much everything has made it over from the combining of the two tanks except for some zoo's that won't open up. Currently I have a pair of false percs, a springer dottyback, a six line wrasse, and a yellow tang. Everybody seems to be getting...

Hello, I wish I had something better for my first offering but I guess better then nothing huh? These suckers started from like 3 or 4 polyps and grew to two huge colonies and these just broke off. I do have flatworms in my tank so please be aware. Sorry for the bad pic. As for...

Hello Everybody, I know I've been asking a lot of questions so I figured I should introduce myself and the tank I've been building. My names Viet and have been keepin fish for as long as I can remember, all freshwater though. The 135 I'm building was originally a saltwater tank that my...

Hey All, Tanks moving along and almost ready to move the livestock from the 38 over to the 135. I have a flatworm problem in the 38 so want to dip all my live rock and corals in FWE before transferring. I know the procedure but what's the ratio of water to FWE that I put in the bucket...

So you're supposed to put a small piece of foam between a plexi tank and what its sitting on correct? Where do we get foam like that for cheap? I don't think I've ever bought foam, shipping peanuts but not a piece of foam. Could I just use an old towel or something?

Hey Everybody, Any suggestions on how to make this sump/refugium better? The previous owner had the water pouring down the right side over a filter pad, through the baffles, to the refugium area in the middle. That poured over the last wall to the return area. For his skimmer, he put a...

Hey All, So I picked up that 120 off CL and it's doing pretty well. I got two skimmers in the deal but one of them needs a new pump. Can somebody help me identify what type of skimmer this is? I need to pick up a new pump for it but am not even sure what kind it is. I've attached a...

Hello, Can somebody please hook me up with the flow chart for a Coralife Turbo 1090? I've been searching the web for the past hour and have not come across it yet. I need to know what the flow will be once it goes up 5 feet so I can match my overflow accordingly. TIA!!! Viet
