    Return Pump Questions

    Does anyone have any hands on experience with how the Laguna Max Flo 900 or 1500 matches up with an Eheim 1262 used as a return pump? I'm looking for comparisons between the Lagunas and Eheim in terms of noise level and flow. Thanks.

    DBTC - Neon Green Tip Anemone

    Well, looks like my Neon Green Tip Anemone split yesterday afternoon and is separated in my tank this morning. I noticed a puff of cloudiness in my tank yesterday afternoon and then my anemone looked extremely deflated. This must have been when the split actually occurred. I'm setting up my 10...

    I've had this frag in my tank for about 3 months now. The first picture is when I first put the frag in the tank and the second picture is at about 3 months of growth. I'm wondering if I have enough light to keep the color of many of my SPS pieces in my tank. If you notice in the pictures...

    Should I get a Chiller??

    That was the question I asked myself, and I decided to do this instead: Thinking ahead, I went and mounted some fans in the canopy. I'm VERY pleased with the outcome and noise level of these fans. I went with the 120mm Antec Tricool (Double Ball Bearings) fans from Fry's Electronics. I've...

    Dual DI Resin Chamber or Single for RO/DI Filtration needs

    Just wondering if anyone has tried both setups using a single DI Resin chamber and also dual DI Resin chambers. Is there any added benefit to running two DI Resin chambers in terms of the longevity of the resin? Thanks. Mike
