I have Lifereef VS3-60. It works great on my 150 gallon reef tank with a 30 gallon sump. I rarely need to adjust it and it has a feature called "constant venturi cleansing" that reduces the amount of maintenance required. There are more powerful skimmers on the market, but I really like the...

I have appx. 2500 gph in my 150 with a 30 gallon sump. 1 Mak 4 (with about 5 or 6 feet of head) and 5 Maxi-jet 1200's. Kevro

I have the Nikkon Coolpix 950 (2.1 megapixel)and love it. It's 2 years old now. When I upgrade eventually it will most likely be another Nikon. It takes incredible pics and the macros are unbeatable. The Casios, surprisingly, are very good as well and priced nicely. By the way, we've been...

From what I understand, the Queen Conchs don't get much over 3" in captivity. Does that sound right? Kevro

They're not real easy to find, but I've heard good things about these farm-raised Queen Conchs being excellent sand stirrers and reef friendly. Anyone have one? What do you think? Thanks! Kevro

It's beginning to grow more than I'd like it to. It's covering my rock. My Blue Hippo Tang doesn't seem interested in it either. Another problem with it is that is grows really close to the rock and is difficult to get it all off. Everything has a "sloppy" look to it when this a;gae is on...

Anybody use the new Iwaski 6500K Colorarc bulb? I'm looking for information and peoples' experiences with it. I'm getting ready to replace my 11 month old 250w 10K German bulbs. I like the fact that the Iwasaki's put out more light, but I'm not particularly fond of the yellow tint. I have...

I'm 95% sure that it's a Favites Flexuosa.

Given good parameters & calcium at appx. 460ppm, with metal halide & VHO lighting, at appx. what rate do they grow? WHat are your experiences. I got a very nice 3.5" diameter one from Jeff's Exotic Fish as part of the 9 for $99 deal and would like to knokw what to expect. Thanks! Kevro

It would be a very cost effective way to turn normal powerheads into a wavemaking system. It looks like a standard power strip but with 3 cycled outlets and 3 standard outlets. But are they dependable? Do they reduce the life of the powerheads? I've seen the Natural Wave (by Aquarium...

I'm wondering if there is anything else on the market that is equal to or better than DT's LIVE Marine Phytoplankton. I know there are several "non-living" varieties of phytoplankton out there. DT's is great stuff but very expensive. $50 for a 30 oz. bottle in my area. I wish there were a...

Anybody ever use the "Natural Wave" wavemaker that kinda looks like a regular old power strip? It sounds great for the money (<$60) but I don't know how good it works or how well made it is. Kevro

I have it posted at photos.yahoo.com. I'm not sure why that is so inconsistent. Until I find a better source to post my pics, try to cat & paste the link... http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/e473174d/bc/Ebay+Pics/DSCN2237.jpg?bcoeyV8Auncg7zZw Hope it works! Kevro

I''m concerned about this green brain coral I got last week from Jeff's Exotic Fish. It has turned brown in areas and just isn't looking too good. It looked good when I first got it as partof Jeff's 9 for $99 package. The other corals from the package all are doing fine. Please take a look...

If this doesn't work, I'm gonna have to go back and figure this thing out. Sorry.
