    So my Maxi Jets were putting out some stray voltage in my tank.... I called Aquarium Systems today and told them about it and they asked when and were I got them. I did make sure to tell them that I had modded the impeller shroud. I was asked my name and address and was told 2 new ones were...

    The other day I was rescaping my tank and my dripping wet have brushed one of the MH reflectors. I thought I felt a slight buzz the figured it was just the sharp edge of the reflector scraching my hand. Well a last night I was trying to catch my Clarkii to put him in another tank and the net...

    I don't like the MJ Mod... Going Old School...w.pics I orderd a few MJ 1200 and (manufacture with held)mods last week and HATE them. There bulky, loud and are absoulty horrible on a wave maker.... I had one fall, cloud the tank, and almost destroy my most prized coral a 14" monti cap...

    Originally, my plans were to buy the lights and filtration system off of the 120 setup to put on my 90G tank. I ended up buying the entire setup. This is a picture of the Dining Room they are sitting in. The 120 is on the right, the 90 is on the black stand. When I first got it, I intended to...

    I had a bad experience with an inadvertently adjusted heater this morning. http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f6/im-freakin-out-here-heater-malfunction-116945.html, if you're interested. I'm wondering if there are any in the area who don't use heaters at all (besides Tony) and how that works for...

    How do you determine what lighting you need for a tank? And, what are some of the questions you need to ask before being able to decide?

I got: 1" Bali Green Slimer 3" Pink Birds nest with about 30-40 tips. Neon Green Digita Red Digita Unknow neon green Acro maybe a tort. WOW They have...

    This isn't something I thought about until now. My diatoms are in full swing with exponential growth in both color and surface area. Eventually they're gonna peak, die off, and my cycle should be nearing end. This is week 5 already. Shrimp #1 is gone, #2 about 1/2 decomposed. This brings a...

    Ok...I had a question out there before... I do not have the money to spend on the Tunze's I would like to have, but I would like to have some wavelike action on the my 125 (note: I have a Mag 9.5 as a return which flows from each corner with a Y and basically keeps the top of the water...

    Alright, so tax returns are right around the corner! This year its going to be a 120g 48x24x24 double cube lol, afterall that is why I claim Single 0 all year long lol. I love the depth of my current 24x24x24 cube, but I dislike how its not long enough. I think the 120 will solve that, while...

    Woohoo a big word that I probably spelled wrong. What is the best way to catch these little buggers? I have a 200 micron sock that I change every 2~3 days but it is not catching all the little stuff. It seems like it is just cycling through my tanks ( display, frag, sump).

    Well I just got a Koralia 4 and can now compare them to the nanosteam 6025 and maxi-mod on MJ1200 as I have all three... FLOW COMPARISON! The maximod puts out the most flow! when compared to the Koralia 4, it appears 1.5 times to 2 times more flow... Next - koralia 4 - just a little better...

    ok, im in!! the tank im gonna use is 48x12x12, works out to 29.7gallons, so...just barely made it! im thinking a prop tank is the way to go with a tank this size and ill also be able to quarentine bigger fish in it due to its 48" length. just got the go-ahead from my wife and i am allowed to...

    jph's 24G aquapod HQI okay, time to edit my 1st post, and give some factual information, instead of me rambling and guessing at what i'll do. the plan still remains that i'll be moving my 90 into this 24. but not everything will fit, ofcourse. most of the rock will be up for grabs :)...

    I just picked up a 28 bowfront which was really all we could fit until moving next year from this little townhouse. It will be sumpless with a Remora HOB skimmer. Any idea what to do for circulation? The choices are a couple of MJ 1200's or else a Tunze. Are the Tunze Streams too big? If...
