    MedRed's 60 Gallon Solana XL

    It's been long overdue... but I've finally rescaped my tank! Pardon the cloudy pic, but i had to move some sand around. I was a bit heavy handed with the concrete which in turn made the scape bulkier. The foot that extends to the front is quite a bit bulkier than it was before the concrete. I...

    So many complainers...

    The manufacturer pays prep and the dealer and ultimately you pay for destination. There's no free meal for anyone. SoCal reefers are cheap. That's the long and short of it.

    MedRed's 60 Gallon Solana XL

    i've settled on 550w of MH. I don't see myself changing the lighting again. I still have the geisemann, but i can't bring myself to sell it.

    MedRed's 60 Gallon Solana XL

    I'm long overdue for an update, but here it goes! There's no trace of the acan eating worms, but my little acan farm is in need of rehabilitation. My colors are a little down as I was without a skimmer for awhile. I'm still working to eliminate the post crash bubble algae outbreak. I've also...

    They are great. My big issue is that there's no way to directly dial in the flow. You can twist them infinitely and at some point they are fully open and at some point they are closed. There's no indicator to see how much flow. It's easy when there isn't a lot of media, but when the chamber is...

    MedRed's 60 Gallon Solana XL

    Everything is on cruise control at the moment. SPS are just starting to grow out. I broke my skimmer, so I'm trying to keep everything as stable as possible until Vertex releases the Omega 130.

    Another Advanced Acrylics Thank you...

    It's quite possible they've made an effort to offer better service. They make a good product, but it was well known in the past that their customer service could be downright terrible. My experience was pretty bad. Very poor communication, missed deadlines, unreturned calls and more

    Another Advanced Acrylics Thank you...

    They do a great job, but their customer service can be downright HORRIBLE at times. My experience would keep me from ever recommending them to someone else.

    Dont Flame me Tang Police

    people don't EVER upgrade their tanks because they bought a fish that will outgrow it. They either keep the fish despite cramped conditions, or rarely try to sell/give away to someone else or a LFS. DON'T ADD FISH NOT APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR SYSTEM!

    sounds like rainbow. I won't buy anything from them because of how they keep their fish.

    Gi-giesemann infinity fixture for sale

    with my phoenix, it looked great by itself... and my 2 Blue+, Aqua blue special, and purple+ all looked great without the halide on. When combined, I didn't like it at all. Everything was way too white and washed out looking. I swapped the aqua blue special for a blue+ and it made a world of...

    Gi-giesemann infinity fixture for sale

    What T5 bulbs are were you running with the giesemann? The first set of t5's I had looked great by themselves, and the MH looked great by itself, but when I combined them, I really didn't like the look. I had to swap a few t5's to get everything to look great together.

    Why not sell off your livestock and start something tougher like an NPS tank or something of that nature?
