fixture is less than 4 months old. bulbs are older, but all work. Price is $225 FIRM. This is a great deal for a nearly new fixture. This lit my 90 gallon well enough to keep Crocea clams at the bottom with no problems. SPS is all over the tank and did fine with it. Feel free to ask any...

I just joined the Columbia Marine Aquarium Club. They are having a meeting on the 23rd with frags etc. Was curious to see if anyone else local would be interested in going. Let me know.

Just trying to consolidate all the threads where this is being talked about. Please chime in if you are going. We are also going to stop at preuss pets that is very close to the frag swap I believe. Here is the link to the frag swap in Lansing...

Hey all, I finally got two tenants for my 37gal FOWLR tank after waiting almost six weeks -- a bicolor blenny and a sixline wrasse. They're doing great and seem to have no issues getting settled at all -- they ate the first time I fed them -- voraciously. The quetion is, why won't this Blenny...

Need advice: I have BB tank with LPS, that IMO don't like high flow (big cynarina and scolymia, 3 kinds of candycane). Have a lot of detrius at the botton, and to keep it suspended and filtered/skimmed from the water column the flow should be very high (may be 50x turnover per hour), at least...

Ok so here is the deal. I set my tank up in a hurry about 6 months ago when my 135 sprung a leak. Because of this I didnt get to set it up the way I wanted. I now have 90% of my coral in a frag tank, so I will be tearing down the tank and starting over. I am going to do it right this time...
