    I have 2 new 400 watt MH bulbs, but my probe start PFO ballast will not fire them. After talking with the retailer, they would probably work if I can get them to fire up on another 400 watt ballast for the first time. I think they require a little more demand on the first fire up. Does anyone...

    Here's a few pics of my new tank and fish room. 220 Display tank w/ 55 gal sump. I've never realized how small a 55 gal tank can really look. Here's the beginnings of the wall that the fish tank is built into. And here's the tank on the stand. I sure am glad that I have a 6" ledge...

    I'm planning to build a prop tank for SPS frags. Do you have any suggestion / recommendations on the tank design? This will be connected to my main system. 48" long x 20" depth x 12" high. Is 12" tall sufficient? Frags will be mounted to plugs and supported on eggcrate. The eggcrate layout...

    I was just wondering if anyone out there has setup a system using two protein skimmers? I know we typically talk about buying one and making sure it is sized correctly for the system, but has anyone tried two? After reading and participating in a few skimmer threads here recently, I started...

    my main comparison is the g3 vs the rs135 but would like to hear about all comparisons that anybody might have. I know they are designed similar but a few people have told me that the euroreefs outperform the asms to a good extent. I just wanna know if thats true.

    been trying to decide on a skimmer for about a month now. i decided i wanted a needlewheel type skimmer over the becket. so now im looking at recirc vs. standard needlewheel skimmers. i like the fact that recircs can be run externally. saves room in the sump for whatever else, and i would...

    I am finishing up my DIY calcium reactor, modeled after a couple difference one's I have look at. I have around $65 in the reactor itself including recirc pump. It's very compariable to a $500 reactor. I am also starting a skimmer build for my 180. I found a very reasonable site online that...

    Okay, as many of you know I currently have a 125G SPS tank,.. the only reason this tank ever ended up with water in it was a comedy skit worth of errors,.. the fact that it got lights and coral never should have happened, then I went SPS with it, which also never should have happed,.. For the...

    I want to make a dual stage calcium reactor from 100mm PVC tubing since 100mm PVC is much cheaper than acrylic. An end cap will be glued to the bottom of the 100mm column, and a screw on end cap attached to the top. I have attached a basic image of the design I have planned that shows the...

    Hey has anyone ever used GE Silicone I before? I just got done with sealing my new sump baffles with it, and as I was reading down the side of that tiny tiny print, at the very end, it says: Not for: food, or aquariums. I called GE and asked why, and why wasn't that much better explained...

    I was cleaning my skimmer tonight and started wondering what everyone else uses to skim their tanks? I am running a Myreef MR-4 clone powered by a Gen-x PCX-55 high pressure pump. It is a beast but does a great job of skimming my 180. So what are you using?

    Question: What's available out there as far as some sort of tank monitoring system. Something that could measure temp, power, levels etc. and possibly call or page the owner in case of a problem. Anyone know? Sean S.

    I got the 75 plumbed and up and running with a FW test. I'm going to leave it this way for a few days to continue to monitor everything. However, I'm concerned with my plumbing. I decided to go with the PVC flex and it was quite easy to install. My biggest concern those is there is an...

    when deciding on what equipment to buy for setting up my tank, i wanted everything to be as silent as possible. so, i have 4 Velocity/posseidon pumps. they are dead silent, which is good, but they do heat up the water pretty good. currently, i'm in the final stages of setting up my tank (90g)...
