    Vertex LED lights

    Anyone else seen these things running? They've got one at my LFS, damn impressive, he adjusted he colors wirelessly from a computer across the room, then had it simulate lightning. You can completely customise the light profile throughout the day. I'm seriously considering selling my...

    ID me please!

    Have had this guy for a few years now, bought as live rock rubble, I noticed a few polyps, so dropped it in my display. It made a great recovery, & started growing up the back wall of the tank. It fell victim to a bi-color blenny as well as a fox face, who enjoyed snacking on it frequently...

    Vortech

    Hi all, i'm going to order my new pumps this week. I'm definately going with Vortech, I love the MP40w in my red sea max 130. I'm wondering which model to get though. I have a 4x2x2. Will 2 MP10wES be enough? The mp40 is turned right down in the rsm & provides plenty of flow, if you max it...

    130D reborn

    Hi all, we've just finished moving house, the 130 is set up again, was only waterless for a few hours. Most of the corals & critters are in another tank I set up a few weeks before the move. We are intending on turning the 130 into a seahorse tank now that the 120 gal will be the main...

    new sump for my rsm

    Already have a smaller sump, just using an old tank, but want to go bigger & better :) Heres the plans: Bubble trap on the inlet side to keep things quiet, my current setup is quite noisy, as it just trickles into the top of the tank, so this one will be sealed up to stop that...

    clown goby problem

    Hi all, Have a yellow clown goby that is picking at corals, initially was only on the base of a duncan, not damaging anything, so wasn't overly concerned. But found the below coral in a bunch of LR rubble I got the other day, so added it to the display to see what would happen under decent...

    montipora

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone can ID the purple coral in the centre of this shot. I think its a montipora, but if thats the case, it must be the black sheep of the family, its very agressive to anything nearby, and packs a pretty mean punch.

    slowing things down

    Just got my new vortech for the rsm, had a benefit that i didn't think about.. Now that its providing all the flow I could ever want, I can switch off one of the return pumps in the back. The surface skimmer wasn't working properly due to too much out power vs too much filter sponge/media...
