before this started happening, it was a very quiet pump. no different then a sen/sedra.

FWIW ive been using a dolphin DP800 as a return pump on a 75 for close to a year now. its submerged, and i break it down regularly to clean the impeller and housing. within the last 2 months it has started to become extremely noisy. at first it was intermittent but now its nearly constant and...

the marine center has a plectranthias in now 8) http://www.themarinecenter.com/plectran ... metric.htm

beautiful fish! thanks for sharing those pictures :)

i had two plastic hydrometers that gave me almost exactly the same reading (right around 1.025) so i figured they were probably fairly accurate, but when i had the chance, i picked up a refractometer to test things out. the specific gravity was at 1.015!!! i couldnt believe it so i had it...

they have been out of stock for a while, and i actually heard today that they may no longer be selling them. i havent heard back from bsd.com yet, so can anyone else confirm or deny this? i hope this isn't the case because im just about out :(

definitely looks like it pulled through. never thought i would see someone else from OT on here :D

i will have to agree about the CSL powercooler. a friend has a 1/3 HP on a 4ft 135 with 4x400w halides and although it gets the job done it is entirely too loud for my tastes. im using a 1/3 HP aqualogic on my 180 (3x250wMH and 4x96w actinic) and it keeps the temperature right at 80 even on the...

i second that! i have been extremely happy with my GEO reactor.

the digitata is probably around a foot tall. its about 1/3rd of the way up in a 180 with a DSB and its only an inch or so from hitting the water surface. heres some other montipora pics (before i end my gratuitous picture posting :D )

heres a couple pics of my m. digitata. it started out as a 2" frag in oct. 2001.

heres a couple shots from the end of october. theyre the most recent pics i have with the halides on. as you can see ive done a little rearranging of the tank since then :) the 75 has been set up since april of 2002 with the contents of my old 40BR, some stuff from my 180, some frags from...

this is my 75 with 2x150 Ushio DE bulbs on LN ballasts and 2x110w VHO on an LN ballast. pictures are taken with just the VHOs (1 aquasun and 1 super actinic).
