    What ever happened to Mindstream!?

    If anything has the potential to revolutionize our hobby I think it will be the ability to automate testing with precision and ease. I'm really rooting for any company that can put a product like this out on the market. Anyone know what happened?

    Achilles tang

    Yup, I agree with previous sentiments. Achilles needs a big tank.

    Solitude's 150 v3

    Mike, How has the Rouge been growing for you? For me, probably slower than Oregon Tort in terms of growth. Looks like your frag is about to take off vertically, can't wait to see all grown up!

    One more thing, over using the the word "BAM!" can also bleach your corals. :)

    What parameters are major SPS bleachers????

    A few easy ways to bleach SPS: 1. Drop phosphates super fast. Scenario: You haven't been keeping up with GFO, all of a sudden you realize you have high phosphates. Shoot! You add 2 cups of HC GFO, phosphates plummet. A few days later bam! Bleached corals. 2. Increase Clarity too quickly with...

    Bigger even if it was more expensive, same price, no brainer.

    liqidation sale

    I drove from TJ all the way to the store, man I hope Chance hooks me up too! Kidding aside, he's a cool dude. If something happened I'm sure it was legit and I hope everything gets sorted out.

    Acrylic tank owners please chime in

    Very much agreed, seams to me like that would make a significant difference in material costs over a large tank. Not to mention structural integrity of an additional 1/8" all around.

    Acrylic tank owners please chime in

    dattack If this is true why the discrepancy between people who have already chimed in? Wouldn't we all find the same thing that 3/4 wasn't actually 3/4" and in reality more like 5/8"??

    Acrylic tank owners please chime in

    For those that chimed in, would it be possible to post pics with a measuring tape. I know it's pain and we all aren't just sitting around waiting to take request, but this would be most helpful. :) I agree that 1/8" is quite a bit and if in fact 3/4" is actually 5/8" for most manufacturers...

    How should I catch my tang??

    My father made me a home made speargun miniature size. I guess they used to make these back in the motherland. I contemplated using it, but in the end the risk of missing and cracking the tank outweighed the benefits. Even though the fish was a jerk, in the end I really did feel bad for it, but...

    Just a little grow out system build.. open to advice and suggestions

    Two things I can comment on: 1. Wiring for networking. 2. A/C Mini Splits. 1. Regarding wiring it looks like the walls are still open, I would recommend wiring with CAT6 for future things like Apex Connectivity, Network/Web Cameras, Smart Controllers, etc. Applications are endless. The...

    Fast and easy...Media Reactors

    I feel you, one of the reasons I'm asking. There has to be a better way all around. The issue I see with all reactors of this style is that there is no innovation in terms of what needs to happen to take the media out, rinse, put fresh media in. On this type of reactor you're looking for...

    Fast and easy...Media Reactors

    This was one of my top contenders in ease of use category, but there is nothing like someone who has already tried it. Sounds like a thumbs up. Mike you find all the cool stuff, this looks super promising. Are you using these?

    Fast and easy...Media Reactors

    Home sick you punk, full day to mess with the tank and the best I could do was media reactors. Something I haven't changed since I started reefing, there has to be something better than TLF out there, no?

    Fast and easy...Media Reactors

    I'm wondering what your favorite media reactor in terms of ease of use and quick change out of the media. Out of all the things in our hobby, one of the things I dislike doing the most is switching out the media in my reactors. I'm currently using TLF media reactors of various sizes and I...

    F-ing wind

    Alright so a little confusion here, let me try to clear some of it up. APC is a brand of UPS. UPS is a backup battery that can run anything that needs A/C power. 1. An APC UPS cannot plugin directly into an Apex for alerts. I would be willing to bet money on this. Perhaps, what is meant is...
