I've heard several people who rave about their Deltec skimmers. I've also heard several people rave about their H+S skimmer which uses the same pumps as Deltec and is slightly less expensive. I think at that level your really buying quality no matter which way you go. Nick

Hey everyone, Thanks for the B-day wishes! I've been just a little busy. Rocio and I bought a house, moved in the day after we closed on the house, and got married just last week. While moving the tank, I lost half my corals due to a faulty heater....so the tank looks like crap and I'm just...

That looks really sweet TB... I'm impressed man, Just out of curiosity, who did the music? Nick

Zomania... Um, is it still in business? Nick

Any complaints about it, or things you dislike? Do you know who makes the HQI ballast it runs on? I've seen those are cheaper than the Sunlight Supply Maristar, but I was just curious... Nick

Hey TB, Who makes the pendant hanging over your main display? Is that a Maristar? Nick

Looks stunning TB. I really like the rainbow monti....gorgeous... Nick

Ahh....my goof Boomer. I know there is a difference between RO and RO/DI, but tend to use the two terms interchangably. Nick

Debbie, Ideally your RO should read 0 TDS. Nick

Dave, Maxima clams require high lighting, and good water quality. I know some people are having success keeping SPS with just T-5 lighting, but the depth of your tank is a bit of a concern to me. If you want to give it a try, I would suggest placing the clam high up in the rockwork as close to...

Why not try the Aquaconnect 14k's or the Phoneix Hexarc 14K's? Better PAR/PPFD and nice blue tint...not too blue, not too white...nice balance. Nick

Ouch Dave!!!! Thats a real bummer! When did you add the other 3 MI's? I thought you only had the one? Nick

Hey Robert, Sorry to hear about your troubles with the tank. I've been going through some obnoxious issues myself with my tank so I can sympathize. The tough part IMO is staying motivated through all the tough times and the frustrating trials and tribulations of reefkeeping. I've pretty much...

I did a Durso standpipe on my tank...works great. Simple, easy to make, in-expensive, and easy to make. Nick

That sounds right.. Nick

Got some reading for you...fortunately, I can copy/paste some of it in order to help you... You will need to choose a ballast to run your bulbs....the following will help you out in choosing a ballast... Taken from "Metal Halide Ballasts, which one is which? Answers here:" on RC. So...

Well, At least I'm not getting blamed for an expensive addition to the tank... It looks great Brucey! My vote is for the clam tank personally. After the dust cloud settles, you should be able to just plumb the tank right on in, and it should populate very quickly with bacteria, and shouldnt...

Thats impressive Dave...I would definately keep the diet as varied and vitamin fortified as possible for awhile. Keep up the good work. Nick

No problem...a friend sent me that when I asked her about magnesium levels in a reef tank. You just gotta promise to pass it on.... :D Nick

Good POst SharkBait, Karma to you! Ellen, You're sorta right about clams....its not the color of the clam that determines the lighting requirements, its the species. Crocea's and Maxima's require more light, they also happen to be more brightly colored usually. here is a link to more...
