The Hydras are ok, I have two of them over my 5ft tank. Possibly going to four dependent on how I re-aquascape and want to place corals. 2 light it up fine for the fish but you wouldn't want light hungry coral at the ends or in the mid part of the tank. My first impression is that the Sol...

get the equipment checked. The heat can affect the sheathing and cables inside the outer sheath, without you being able to see. You could put a new plug on and have a fault which is a timebomb waiting to start another fire.

You can get fake fibreglass branching live rock. Nature Form is one make, although I don't know if it is available in the USofA. Good for filling out the scape, accepts coral placement and although coloured to blend in, it will take on a mature natural look in time. One big advantage is that...

I am in the hit and miss theory too. Mine have a good flow through them are at the top of my tank and pulse. They seem to pulse, pause then pulse again at the same time frames. One of my LFS has less flow and placement at top and on sand bed and they all pulse. One of the punters in the...

I get that in mine.....presumed it was an underwater spider lol. I have plenty of corals and nil damage to them.

One of the lFS I use have AI Sols on their 30" deep/tall reef with clams on the bottom and that is with just 2 units on a 60" long tank. Another of my LFS specialise in corals and have tanks which use Sols and Vegas. I have just put a Vertex Illumina LED unit on my deep tank and it looks...

Great news there is an easier way to do it now......or more importantly a quicker way for all us busy people. I do a lot of advising on a site in the UK, being a carpenter/joiner and on that one we just upload a pic from computer direct into the post.

Welcome back in. Haven't a clue about the Red Sea.......the one you have is certainly the only decent looking one though. Nice looking tank, they have one at my LFS in gloss black

Plenty of research on the net and look at images of good tanks and then see what lights they run with. Don't be fooled by reviews, even ones that have written statements saying that they are unbiased. I have some LED lights that you can't (as far as I am aware) get in the USA. The vast...

How do you keep the flame alight once under water?

I have some white ones like that. Definitely not bleached and dead because they have got bigger during the past year.

Tank is looking good. If you put the sump onto a 1" thick polystyrene sheet, that gets rid of any noise transference from pumps, skimmers etc to the cabinet.

nice to watch a video with a good portion of it being of the complete tank rather than close up and panning along. I must admit, that after saying about preferring a sand bottom, I didn't take much notice in the video. Too much going on that draws the eye away.

Positioned the tank and plumbed it in last night. Took a few pics but didn't have enough time to fap around uploading and downloading. Hopefully tomorrow at some point in the evening I will get time.

Well I have struggled recently with my little 190L tank and decided to get shot of it and replace it with a 24X24X30 cube. This is a little brother and will be sited next to the big brother 60X24X30. being brothers they both have the same cabinet style and colour. Infact, the penny...

feedback............................You know you want to lol. Enjoy the weekend, browsing for it.

Try to see if you can do a 'try' dive somewhere. Some holiday resorts will have this option. You are not shelling out for a course then, only to discover that you hate it. If you are a bit scared of water.....diving is nothing like swimming. It is extremely relaxing. I used to mainly dive...

Don't always believe what you read on forums. They are not only frequented by people in that particular hobby but also manufacturers/suppliers as part of marketing. Marketing, of course also takes the form of spreading misleading information on competitors products. I have yet to see one...

Ghetto, here in England would imply a black reference. We used to refer to a portable sterio radio as a ghetto blaster. Plus another term!

The arguement could rage all year about ich and how to or not to treat and the way to ensure it doesn't enter the display tank. One of my LFS has an achiles tang in there display tank and there are times when a water change or moving a rock will see it break out in spots. Could be stress...
