    Who is getting growth with Vertex Illumina?

    Long story short. I had two 28g nano's with MH. I wanted to get a bigger tank with a sump. I settled on a 65g w/27g sump. I did a lot of research on lighting as I wanted to get away from MH. Mainly to reduce the heat and cost to operate. I bought a Vertex Illumina 260. I added 2 aux pads that...

    New/revamped LFS by LAX

    I have been through that store several times. Many years ago they had an okay set up. Nice shark tank, decide softy collection. Since then it looked as if they gave up. I am glad to see that it's turning around. I am in that area a lot and have to kill time between appointments. I will...

    let me reintroduce myself.

    I am digging that rock work. I just set up another tank and would have liked to create something like that. Curse my bad imagination!

    Looking for free wave makers

    I might have a few wave makers in the garage. I will check. It would be good to get a bio on you so that you don't take too much of a beating on the forum. I agree with the other comments but I also get that you may be new to the hobby.

    Anyone here build sumps?

    I just finished a sump for a 28g nano. I went with a 15g glass aquarium. I wanted to make sure I had enough room for a filter sock, chiller pump, protein skimmer, reactor and return pump. The 10g was too small. I found a design that I liked via the internet. I put one baffle that separates...

    Free: Black Aquarium Grade Silicone

    I just finished a small project and I don't have a need for the remainder. If anyone has an immediate use for it, it's yours. The tube is over half full. I can't image it will last long after it's opened, so the sooner the better....PM if you are interested. Pick-up only.

    ROWAphos

    EcoBaK Plus is the all-in-one. Here is a thread on R2R http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/warner-marine/149859-ecobak-plus-bio-pellets.html. Jon Warner, the creator of EcoBak Plus, is always willing to answer questions. The recommended ratio is 500 ml of pellets to 100 gallons of water. My...

    ROWAphos

    I agree with all the rowaphos comments but I found it to be messy. The once a month changes got to be a nuisance. I switched to EcoBac Plus bio-pellets and have had undetectable phosphates for the last 8 months. My nitrates are 2-3 ppm. Usually at 2 ppm. I know there are some bio-pellet...

    Re doing return. Question.

    Remember, where there is flow - pressure is low. You will get better turnover which the rule has always been, turnover your water volume 10 times an hour. If you increase the GPH but keep the same plumbing, you will have greater pressure out of the returns causing more turbulence. It all...

    FS: Rhinopias (aka Scorpion-fish)

    After a day of acclimation, it ate a Damsel. It was hungry. Stalked it down and gulp, it was gone. I will try and video the next feeding.....

    FS: Rhinopias (aka Scorpion-fish)

    Everything I have read says that they play nice as long as what they are playing with can't fit into their mouth. I read that frogfish will eat these guys. If a mellow frogfish can eat it, you have to wonder how mellow they are??? Must be the sloth of the sea....

    FS: Rhinopias (aka Scorpion-fish)

    I want to erase this thread but I am being pressed by a higher power...the wife. I told myself that if I ever seen a Rhino, I would set up my 28 gallon nano for a species tank. Well, I found one, bought it, and brought it home. My spontaneous purchase was not well received by my wife. She...

    What's wrong with my new leather??

    Once acclimated it will stand up, assuming all parameters are good, flow, etc...I had one slumped for several weeks and now it's upright and swaying in the flow.

    Borbonias sighting

    I know it's a risk. I haven't set up a QT. I have a 28 nano that would work. I am being lazy.....
