I agree that they are best left with a Rescue group who will carefully screen applicants to make sure that the new owners can properly take care of these animals (particularly puppies). Not saying that you will not find good owners, but the rescue group process is often very rigorous, including...

Pretty sure I haven't entered yet. Thanks SCR & FF !!!

congrats r20; thanks AWI!!!! :congrats: OK. Where's the next GIVEAWAY thread??? :burnout:

Tank size is 50g (but with DSB it ends up being closer to 40g) I think my ideal size would be 75-100 gallons. More room for corals in the tank and equipment/fuge in the stand - without making WCs too challenging.

I eat sushi, but not from just anywhere.

Yup. I had a cleaner shrimp who was such an aggressive eater, I decided to give him away so I did not have to use feeding domes when feeding my acans and fungia. I really like shrimp, but that one was annoying.

Thanks for the profile. I like that your running T5s (Sunpowers, similar bulb combo) just like my tank. Acclimation/coloration might go very smoothly. LFS Profile is a great new feature of SCR. I'm going to FF web site right now to check out the goods....

Brilliant work. Sorry to read about the ich outbreak. Looks like your rebounding even bigger. Congrats! BTW: what is this?

Thanks Mike & AW&I for putting this together. Socalireefs is becoming better and better. Count me in...whoot!

Sounds promising. Did you notice any nuisance algae dieback or lowered N or P values while using the kit? What would it cost per year if you continued usage? One kit only lasts 2-3 months? Does that mean $200 per year for your 75g?

Color is fairly subjective. I used to run (1) 75/25 bulb and (1) GE 6500K along with (2) B+ and (2) AB, and everything in the tank was far warmer (like 10000k) - a look I did not like. Then I switched to the (4) B+ and (2) AB, which was a big improvement - but I felt as though the reds became...

Is there a difference between the P+ and the Fiji Purple? I was assuming that the P+ was the same thing, but cheaper:

I was running 4 b+ and 2 AB specials, but just switched one AB for a P+. I'm very pleased with the results. Does not feel warmer than the AB it replaced. The reds do pop more. Not sure how this translates to your 4 bulb combo. You've got a really good combo now,so you might just keep it that way.

any updates?

West side LA. Funny. So far LA is in the lead, but I always got the sense that most members were from OC. Shall see...

Priceless. My wife would probably say the same...

I've only had good experiences with RG. Sounds like most of your wait was because of backordering, but sending your unit to someone else is purely RG's fault. IMO, considering the time you waited, they should make good by sweetening the deal (beyond free shipping). You should call and have a...

I've already seen and played with the AI fixtures at RAP and elsewhere. Capistrano Reef is about three hours round trip for me (without traffic), and prolly $20+ in gas. I'd love to see the store, but do not have that kinda free time or patience for SoCal traffic. Also, not sure if I want to...

My wet side used to spin from time to time. Cleaning it with vinegar and scrubbing the rubber pad underneath usually got it to behave again. make sure to scrub the glass on the inside of the tank to break up any biofilm buildup as well. My gen1 wet side ended up corroding on the magnet inside...

Better than $529? With or without controller? If I could get a new 12" Sol Blue for <$529 with a controller, I would definitely be into a GB. RC is totally "wicked busy" for me today (and on/off over the past week). Cannot even follow the link...
