  1. Magnets

    I have both the magnavore and tunze magnets. Both are nice but the magnavore gets my vote.
  2. Euroreef CS8-1 users ?

    I'm using a CS8-3 on my tank and really liked it a lot. I even have the bullet skimmer on my other tank, but I prefer the euroreef better. Anyway both skimmers are excellent. HTH.
  3. does anyone know who makes tru-view tanks?

    Tru-vu is the company's name and they still make acrylic aquariums. Call Aquarium Concepts in Hayward for more info on them and I think they are located in the same area. No website for Tru-Vu. HTH.
  4. POLL:What do keep your alkalinity at?

    Toptank, to keep it at 12 dkh I'm using an MTC pro-cal calcium reactor. It has been running this way now for almost two years. Now the big question is do I check my calcium level? I did at first but the calcium level was always way above 500 and so I called the mtc people and I was advised that...
  5. POLL:What do keep your alkalinity at?

    I keep mine at 12 dkh all the time and here's a little info on my tank. It is 6 feet long and I use 2x400 MH and 2x250 MH lights with 2x96 pc. On the 250 watts side the coralline is really growing whereas the 400 watts side there is hardly any coralline at all. Now go figure. Due to higher...
  6. Skimmer thoughts....

    I have the bullet skimmer 2 and the euroreef CS8-3 model and I like the euroreef better. Reason is ease of maintenace is really easy like the Aqua-C which I also happen to use on my other tank. Once in a while I switch all three skimmers around and I slightly give the edge to euroreef for its...
  7. Opinion on Angels

    Well, I think I made out my mind and I'm going to put one in this weekend. If it doesn't work out I just have to move him to my FOWLR tank which is 180 gallons anyway. Thanks for the tips Ruabatfish2 and I will just try that. Like Dieselboy said if you really like it you just find a way for it...
  8. Opinion on Angels

    Thanks for the responses guys. I want to try either angel and I know that if it doesn't work out I probably have to dismantle the whole reef just to get it out. Ruabatfish2, you said you had yours for 2 years now any serious damage your blue face has done to your corals? Thanks. [ July 12...
  9. Opinion on Angels

    I have a 240 gallon reef tank and I wanted to add either the Blue Face or the Majestic angel. Any thoughts if either one is reef safe or is it a hit and miss thing with these fishes? Thanks and any info. is greatly appreciated although the books I read said they are marginal.
  10. HOLLY COW!!!!!!! Just got my dual 400 watt MH ballast !!!

    I have mine underneath the stand which is 72" in length and so far have no problems with it. In fact they are stacked up on top of each other using a red brick. They get a little hot and as long as the back of your stand is open then it should be OK. My only equipment that is outside the stand...
  11. Euro-reef skimmer

    I have a euroreef skimmer on my 240 gallon tank right now and I do like it a lot. Once in a while I swap it with my bullet 2 skimmer, and just compare which one is better than the other. Well guess what, I like the performance of the euroreef compared to the bullet. This is just my opinion base...
  12. Poll-Best camera/film to photgraph your reef?

    I personally have a coolpix 990 and like it a lot. I decided on this camera per reviews from this board and every where else. The new and improved coolpix 995 is now out. It's one of the best cameras out ther right now. Good luck.
