    By chance is anyone using the 7096 Multicontroller from Tunze?

    Over the years as my tanks been growing with more and more corals, I've started to see the need for more random & turbulant water flow. More random than what I feel my Hydor's are currently providing. So over the last two months I've been researching a number of choices and manufactures...

    Refugium Lighting?

    Just curios what people use for refugium lighting. I just set up a new fuge and currently I'm using a clip on shop light you get from Lowes with a Coralife 20watt 50/50, however I'm thinking I could do better. Honestly I'm thinking just using a different bulb would help. I want to say I've...

    First Class Service After The Sale...AquaticLife

    I thought I'd bring up something you don't always hear about and rarely see. Quality service after a sale, really above and beyond what I would expect. Last night I noticed my 24" AquaticLife T5 fixture on my 30 gal tank was flickering a bit. I thought great there goes another $40 bucks for...

    Skimmer Upgrade???

    I'm currently considering upgrading my ASM G1 skimmer. And I thought I'd ask a for few opinions or ideas. I've had the ASM on my 90gal for a few years now, and while undersized it's done okay. I would consider the tank to be a heavier bio load, consisting of a Sail Fin Tang, Yellow Tang, 2...
