    250watt DE HQI bulbs

    Hey fellas and gals, it's been a while.... There doesn't seem to be much of a choice these days for the 250 HQI DE bulbs (not that there was much 20 years ago) I see the Phoenix 14k and the Hamilton 20k. I'd like something a little bluer then the Phoenix. I've never used the Hamilton but I've...

    Sump/Refugium needed. 30-40 gals

    Hey fellas, happy weekend. I'm looking for a 25-45 gal sump. I really don't care about baffles or other dividers. Acrylic is a must have. I'm going to use it as a add on refugium. I have a Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer to trade or cash. Let me know what you have

    Bubble Magus Curve 9 with Sicce pumps

    Hey guys, I've been running a Bubble Magus Curve 5 for a few years. It's by far the best skimmer that I have ever used and I've used a few over the last 30 years. I need to step up to a larger skimmer. I'm thinking the BM Curve 9 Elite. It uses the Sicce pump with an upgraded adjustment... So...

    I think its time I setup a calcium reactor

    Hey guys and gals, happy Friday to you all. I'm dosing a lot of B-Ionc, the curse has been lifted, the tank is doing good and I'm retired. I ran a 2 stage Geo Reactor back in late 1999s to the early 2000s and then a reverse flow (I think it's a Hawk reactor made by Larry) reactor back around...

    Brightwell Neomarine

    Hey guys and gals. I've been using this salt since I started the tank back up in January (per a very good friend that everybody here knows) So we all know about the crazy smells and sounds that it makes while mixing... I've had some crazy things going on with this salt. To start, I've found...

    T5 bulb help

    Hey fellas, I'm going to buy a T5 fixture that will utilize my 2 Hydra 26 LED pendants. I've never used T5s so I need some advice on what T5 bulbs to us in the fixture below. I'm guessing I'll use two white bulbs and two actinic, not sure. Heat is something to consider. I run the two Hydra 26...

    FS: Aqua logics 1/3hp inline chiller/with new controller.

    Hey guys, I'd like to get this thing out of the garage. It works just as good as the day I bought it. There's no cover for it but I'm sure you could get one from Aqua logics if needed. I've always thought a custom wood cabinet would be nice.. I'm asking $300.00 and would consider trades. I...

    Bubble Magus Dosing pumps TS1 and TS2

    You have to be kidding me with these Bubble Magus dosing pumps. The TS1 is the power source for the TS2. The instructions are almost impossible for me to understand but from what I can, You set the TS1 for X MLs and the TS2 comes on 5 minutes after the TS1 stops....ok, that's good but there's...

    Stand alone AC unit

    Happy Friday to all.... My tank is an in-wall tank that sits in the closet under the stairway to the 3rd level of the house. I'm thinking about sticking a stand alone AC unit in the closet for those hot days and also let me run my 250 watt HQI bulb a little longer. Plus they're also...

    Maxspect Gyre XF350

    Hello all, I setup a 120 gal sps tank early this year. I used an MP40 for a few years starting in 05. It worked ok and lasted a few years so I planned to setup another MP40 on this new system but then I ran across these Gyre pumps. I've been in the hobby for well over 30 years, Coral Vue was...
