    BigAl18's Spec V

    Last week I started what I believe to be a dinoflagellate problem. I hadn't introduced anything into the tank for several weeks. The only thing that changed was a busy week with no time to properly top off evap...I used filtered tap water (tisk tisk I know). It has been kind of fun watching...

    BigAl18's Spec V

    Thinking of adding a hydor flo to my main pump to create more movement in my tank. The bottom next to the wall is fairly dead. Will this restrict the amount of flow only to spread it around? Any thoughts on this? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    BigAl18's Spec V

    These were sitting at the end of my tank on the bottom quite nicely but weren't growing much. So I moved them closer to the light to grow out. First time attaching anything so a bit of overkill on the epoxy. If this works tho, it'll be covered in no time. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    BigAl18's Spec V

    I've been lurking in the corners of forums here for a couple of months and have decided to post my first saltwater tank. The big draw for me with the Spec V in particular was the fact that everything can be done in one tank with a few changes and additions. I have a few LFS's in town and had...

    Whaddup from Santa Clarita

    Hey all, just started a Spec V. :bowl: As far as equipment goes behind the tank, I still have the stock filtration, bio-balls and carbon inside of a large sponge, I added a 50w heater and am still adjusting it to keep the tank in the 79-82degree range. I also upgraded the pump to get more...
