    How much better is SCR than 3 years ago?

    Everything evolves. For some reason "Ray Ray" has not posted in awhile. Talk about when ray ray talks people listen. I think his relationship with Berkely may have enlightened him, but like every true teacher, he doesn't give you the whole answer, but the scientific answer to your question...

    Important

    could not agree more about testing. when i started with sw it was more about can i keep a fish alive. testing didn't tell me much only i lost another Tang ( ich magnet) as my tank matured, i could add just about anything. did not worry about much except salt (water changes) and nitrates. i...

    algee problem or not?!!!!

    all of that nasty "stuff" is waste. as long as it remains in your tank, it will continue to decompose. start researching clean up crews and water circulation

    algee problem or not?!!!!

    if you swish the water over your rocks is "dirt" moving around?

    algee problem or not?!!!!

    don't know how close you live but i can loan you a tds meter to check your water quality. Judging be a previous thread of brown algae on the glass the phosphates are probably high in your water. If your flow isn't high enough to keep the muck from settling in your tank, new water isn't going...

    Efficient way to heat a tank

    i run a 350 gal sump on the outside. I insulated 3 sides with foam. the sump sits on plywood. temp is set at 76 and it stays pretty constant with 1000w titanium heater. be careful with a "heat exchanger" that doesn't use titanium tubes. saltwater will kill stainless fast. the generating...

    Anyone else let their tanks run cool in the winter?

    Not in the I.E. but the outside temp dropped dramatically overnight. I keep my tank at 74 in the winter for economy. my electric bill is already $400++ don't need it any higher

    Teach me to take pics...in Long Beach

    I am impressed with your pics Luis/toromp. Maybe you can start a thread to help us Smurfs that can only take blue pictures. Maybe talk about the lense and filter. I have a Cannon EOS (Rebel) and even though it comes out blue I can't get the close up of my corals and fish,

    LFS, objective, coral hunting.

    Can't beat Fish collection for colonies. Right now Jimmy has great deals on deep water colonies. Way different than the usual corals out there. I have been picking one up every week for the last couple of months. Lost one but the others are alive and healthy with lots of p.e. You should go...
