I think I need to bring this out in the open - I've got some mounting disillusions with RS and am edging closer to taking my toys and playing elsewhere. I love everyone here, will miss you all if worse comes to worse. 1. Why was 'Robz tank pics' moved to the photography forum? I started...

Amazing what you can find when you're designing a new system. So much good info out there. Awesome article about overflows and the best way to place and design them. Kudos to Greg for the article!!! http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-07/gt/index.htm by the way, the new March issue of...

Any word on when we will have the quick reply box back?

Can someone tell me what a 'kicking' spraybar is? And, as long as I've got you here :D ; is there an optimum size for pvc plumbing. My husband says larger pipe diameter cuts down on friction loss. my tank has 3/4" from the main pump to tank, and 1 1/2" from overflow to sump - what does...

Just curious; there are some awesome different types of anthias - and that some people have different types in the same tank - are there any problems with doing that, any special info regarding mixing anthias types in the same tank? I think there should probably only be one male, right?

I know some people use a wet/dry vac (like a shop vac) to siphon detritus out of their tanks. Anyone who uses them, could you give me some info about brands and special techniques if any?

I asked my husband for an ORP monitor for Xmas and the best thing about it is that I'm learning new ways to get the levels up. It's kind of cool because you can see what a difference it makes when you do maintainance stuff. When I first got it, it was reading around 360, but lately it's up...

Can someone remind me of the safe way to change salt brands? I remember it can be quite dangerous. I'm not too happy with the high Mg levels I've been getting with Coralife, am thinking about switching over to IO. Just can't remember what the safe procedure is? (I had one batch of...

Just some pics I took this morning;

Anyone know what this is? There are two of them on my new lavendar stag. The mouths open and close on these things.

My biggest wish would be a way to Karma everyone who responds to a thread at once. I try to give Karma to people who offer advice or join discussions, but it's slightly miserable to give k to each individual and wait for the screen to update, then on to the next person...

How long have you been active in online reefkeeping forums?

Do you consider yourself an advanced reefkeeper? Intermediate? or a Beginner? I'm also posting a poll about how long people have been active at online reefkeeping forums and want to compare the two polls.

Who else is watching Luis's Dreams thread and going out buying corals? I just lose my head after looking at his corals. Here's what I got; a beautiful lavendar staghorn

Since setting up the Ca reactor, my Ca levels have been great (410 - 450), but alk is constantly low (around 7.5 dKH). I supplement with baking soda about every 5 days to correct it. Is there something I can do, besides supplementing, to get it up? I've been adding 3 tablespoons of...

My experience was great!! I'd definitely buy from them again. What I wanted was 'in stock' and their prices were competitive. I've ordered stuff from other vendors, btw, that said it was 'in stock' but wasn't. It's worth it to me to stay with a vendor who really has what they say they have!

Can someone tell me if I need to acclimate my corals to a different K rating? I wouldn't think I need to unless it was a different wattage, but I'd like to make sure? What about brand new MH bulbs? Do corals need to be acclimated to them, if the old bulbs were replaced in a reasonable...

I really missed the pics of Robz tank. So, I rescued the pics to post here. Don't know if I'll be able to post them all tonight. We all enjoyed them so much, I couldn't live without them here.
