I have only had the unit for 4 months, I'm hoping there may be a rep to shed some light on this? Blackbeltmom, mine was working during the night, i don't believe it needs light to work normally.

Hey All, Quick question…I have the Tunze 3155 and continue to get a blinking red "Too Low" light after the initial self test. I have run the self test with optical eye in and out of water to no avail. I was wondering if anyone might have experience with this issue? Thanks in advance! Jake

Roy glad to see your leather is coming back and starting to open….nothing is more depressing than putting all this work into your tank only to watch things die off…I'm battling my tang beating up a long tentacle plate in the front of my tank. I stood guard for almost 2 hours while it was taking...

Thanks Glenn, I prefer the blue look myself and think i would go with the following combo as used by Greg too…. 1 ATI1103 39W Aquablue Special T5 HO Fluorescent 4 ATI1111 39W Blue Plus T5 HO Fluorescent 1 ATI1127 39W Purple Plus T5 HO Fluorescent My only struggle now is spend the money...

Glenn, When I performed my water change a little bit of the algae was able to syphoned off the rock. With that I am assuming it could be cyano. I was told it may be from too much white light in the t-5 spectrum in the hood of the RSM 250C. I am going to look around and see if some have...

I have noticed some bright blood red diatoms appearing on some of the dry rock and I'm not sure what it is but I am keeping a close eye on it to see if it spreads or dissipates. I'll ask Erin to snap a pic or 2 to post and get opinions. She does all of the video and pics as she is much better at...

Nick, thanks, I've been told by my LFS that using proper RO/DI water can help reduce the algae issues. I thought I was just lucky but think that does play a big part….and perhaps a bit of luck as well. I continue to push my luck with recently adding a blue spotted puffer. He took out 2-3 zoa...

Frank, That is a clean set up!! Very nice and I'm surely jealous! lol I do agree with having more of a sand bed area for certain corals. I didn't weigh that out in the beginning but wish I had. It has not been a major issue but has come into play a little. I'm not worked up enough to move...

hi everyone :) & thanks for your nice comments. dan - i shoot with an Canon eos 60D DSLR - i think the biggest "secret" onefishtwofish - is great equipment. I shoot both in automatic & manual mode & try to do it when all the lights are on in the tank (which also happens to be when it is...

it's been ages since we have posted. Just wanted to add a quick update to our tank thread :) We have quite a few corals & have introduced new fish since - everything seems to be thriving. Here's a few photos of our tank : will share more soon - we've been so busy...

Hey All, Anyone have experience with Lyretail Anthias (Fiji)? Looking for any insight on these beautiful fish. I've read they typically do best in groups of 1 male and 1 female or 1 male and 3 females….looking for someone with first hand experience and any insight would be much appreciated!

I clean every 2 weeks but I feel even that is perhaps a bit too often. I think Dan's intervals would be more than good enough…I will be pulling back on the frequency.

you got it Mark, I've done some reading on it and hope it performs as described. So far it has held its claim.

Welcome Sean, I'm actually from Lauderdale myself but now live in Jax…looking forward to seeing your new set up. I feel you on the reefing on the brain…I call it legal crack! lol

Hey Cheryl, I actually only used 1 bag of the CPB but will now go back and read it again to ensure I understood correctly. I initially thought it was 2 but I left the 2 bags of charcoal the tank came with so I only added 1 CPB and 1 purigen with intentions of changing to 2 CPB bags once the...
