How do you even get LRS on the west coast? Who has it?

This Hobby is perfect for those who like to drink the suds. Wheel in your coral cooler full of frosty beverages on the DL:)

I set my chiller to 77, but it does not come on unless my tank goes to 79. I do not have to run heat, but that may change with Radions. My tank hit 74 a couple times on the coldest days of winter, but i never saw any ill effect.

In many cases I agree that splitting a XR30 dual puck into 2 XR15's is much better do to spread. I have 2 XR15''s on a 32" x 26" frag tank that is 12" deep and they are putting off more light that a 6 bulb 24" powermodule with Reefbrite strip. With 6 XR15s you could get away without the T5 and...

I think the reason most supplement is because of shadowing effect that comes from trying to put less lights on a tank. Yes you can get away with 2 on a 4' tank, and the shadowing will go away much cheaper with a couple T5 strips than adding more radions. With that said I just went all in on...

Looking Good Cody, water soon!

Biopellets is a form of carbon dosing, Flow, Churn, and Effluent are much harder to quantify than a standard dose of some other carbon source? I made Pellets work for a time, but had problem when I switched brand of pellets and have never looked back. I too had best luck with Ecobak original...

I hope it was one of your nicer corals, with my luck the Green Slimmer would spawn and cover my tank in Mean Green and I would rather Go to Walt Disney! Very cool!

I won a ATI new ICP test kit that was donated by Marine Depot last night at SCMAS meeting. I will let you know how it compares to Triton as I am going to send 1 of each in to see if they are both similar results. The new ATI kit has pre paid postage, and a 3rd vial to send in sample of RODI...

Congrats Mike! My wallet hurts reading your thread, nice toys! Your attention to detail is incredible. I had a similar problem with Fritz salt and was told to mix and use it right away and that if I leave mixing the alk would fall even lower than your 6.2 reading. I mix large batches and do auto...

Air pumps are much safer than bags. I have used these bags before when traveling. http://www.kordon.com/kordon/products/aquarium-pond-accessories-2/breathing-bags#suppliers!

Pending pick up tomorrow, will post if becomes available.

This guy is healthy and one of my favorite fish, but he is picking at some of my LPS. Space Invaders and a few others. Does not kill the coral but does pick and I am wanting to add some other fleshy LPS to the tank so he has to go. He does look for coral slime on SPS, but has never bothered it...

More pictures, Awesome!

BlueStar, one of my all time favorites!

Mike what Reactor did you get? I have not gone back to CA RX, but I am ready.

Some have ant farms Cody has a Termite Farm:) Keep it a little off the house!

Corner is less viewing area and a pain to keep panel against the wall clean. Also is much less space to access and work on tank. A little space between the tank and the corner can have a basket or something to hide your top off water in. I had a corner tank, do not anymore!

Neither Salt based or Potasium Salt based systems actually put salt into your water, they use a heavy brine mix to rinse out the media after so much use, the salt water goes down the drain. I can say that the water does feel funny at first and soap tends to lather up way better with soft water...

The water softener actually helps lower TDS and will make your RODI filters last longer. I did ask a few water experts before I purchased a system. My home was not plumbed for a Softener so I put one on the incoming water line going into the house. All water is softened, hot, cold, and even the...
