So I use two BRS Deluxe Reactors on my 120 gallon system (125 total volume) for GFO and Carbon. The other day, the pressure relief button on the carbon reactor "Fell Out" forcing me to shut down the carbon reactor. No big deal, I have redundancy built in all over the place below the tank...

Well, after about a year, my Leopard fish found his way out of my tank to the floor. RIP buddy! This was one of my favorite fish! Active, fat, happy, what more can you ask for? I now have a screen over the top of my rimless, it actually is two 2 x 2 screens which makes it a little easier for...

Hey Guys! Having an issue with one of two Scoly's. I have a man-o-war and and aussie bleeding apple scoly in my 120 gallon reef tank. They have both been thriving for 7 months and recently my Bleeding Apple has started to recede. I recently added chateo to my sump, to go along with my gfo...

I recently added Chateo Algae to my middle section of my sump. It is surrounded by black acrylic and lit by a LED bulb. The Chateo is doing great, doubling in size every couple of weeks. It's amazing, the pods and bugs are amazing! Super happy, but I have noticed that everything in the...

Hey Folks, I've been trying to buy some blue legged hermits, but for the life of me, none of my "Local" stores have them. Any suggestions on a good source local to HB would be appreciated! Are there any good online sources? Thanks and have and have a great weekend! Mike

Hey All, I've been running my mixed reef tank with no major issues or problems. Knock on wood. I decided to give Chaeto a try. I happened to be over at Ron's and he hooked me up with some Chaeto so I brought it home and put it in the refugium section of my sump. I picked up a clip on...

Hey Guys, I know there must be a thread on this somewhere, but I can't find it. Pretty simple questions or observation maybe. I am testing the Apex Fusion Beta. It has worked flawless thus far, so all is good. I hooked up my Radion's today following the directions provided by Apex...

I've been having swings in phosphates lately. No visible causes like fish, invert or coral deaths. Everything else looks good, but I did another water change yesterday and saw my probe holder looking a little off kilter and upon further examination found that the magnets housed in the wet side...

So I can keep Acro's, Millie's, Starfish, Urchins, Stylo's, Lepto's, Acans, Chalice's, Echinopora's, Scoly's, Goniopora, BTA, Aussie Gold Torch, and polyps..... but I can't seem to keep any of the fancy Montipora's alive!? What the "F" is up with that? I kept them just fine in a 30 gallon tank...

I have a Seaside Aquatics ES2 Skimmer with a Sicce PSK1000 pump. It is rated for 300 gallons and works as expected. The problem is how much noise it makes in comparrison to the Jaebo 6000 pump I use as the return. Seriously, when I turn off the skimmer my tank goes from noticeable to almost...

I am selling my Goldflake Angel who has taken to eating my LPS and acans in my reef. It is beautiful! Stunning blue lips and highlights with the gold body and black fins. The prettiest fish in my tank by far and it sickens me that I have to sell her to another good "Home." I paid a lot for...

Well, it's been fun. My Goldflake Angel seems to love to eat my acans and now I have seen her picking at my Aussie Scoly....... Not sure what I'm going to do, but I just couldn't help myself it is such a beautiful fish. I want to develop my mixed reef tank so I guess she has to go? I'm...

Early on with my tank, I made a fish purchase based on a whim, not always a good idea. I purchased an Arc Eye Hawkfish instead of the smaller Pixie/Spotted Hawkfish. Of course then I read that they are prone to eating crabs, snails, and shrimp. It's been quite some time and he hasn't done any...

Hey Guys, I recently added a very nice elegance (Green with pinkish/purple tips) to the tank only to find that my Goldflake Angel has developed a taste for hit. I seem to be holding it off for now, but I know it is a matter of time before this poor guy dies from stress and being picked at...

Hey Guys, I'm having a tough time tracking down a Blue Millipora. I have a green one and it is "Thriving" with awesome polyp extension in my tank, so I'm looking to add a different color and prefer blue. If you have another color besides green, I'd be open. Also looking for a couple of frags...

So I had the chance to visit Ron (LovingAcans) at his store a couple of days ago. It's a work in progress but I can tell that he really wants the place to be special. It's located in a more industrial part of Huntington Beach and they are still working on getting more display and product tanks...

Hi Guys, My Midas Blennie has decided he wants to end it all and has jumped out of my rimless tank the last two days. Each time we have found him and placed him back in the tank and he has survived..... Unfortunately, I'm at work for another day and won't be home until Sunday Morning but was...

So I've had my new tank up and running for approximately 7 months. I set up a spread sheet back in September and track my water parameters at least once a week and note any observations good or bad. I currently have a GHL doser, but have yet to dose ALK, Calc, or Mag and here's why: Tank...
