What ballast are you using ? The ballast makes a huge difference in the performance of any bulb. I've run 20k Radiums on 400 watt blueline eballasts and had some dramatic results on coloration of sps corals. Sps corals colored up dramatically under the 20k Radium. A reefer friend used a 400...

Len, I just sold a blue S. Haddoni carpet that I'd kept for about 4-5 years. In the time I've had it, I lost two fish to it. A mandarin and a possum wrasse. While I kept the anemone, there was also a red flame hawk, a purple tang and a blue damsel in with it. These fish lived peacefully with...

GT, we have a fairly large group of reef tank enthusiasts close to you. Not sure if you're aware of the Boston Reef Society, or the BRS for short. The clubs web forums can be found at: http://216.235.242.50/forums/ Mike

clyde, I removed the media (chemical/mechanical) from the canister, but continued running system water through both the canister and skimmer during the treatment.

Fishcraze2002, Jeremy at Coral Reef Aquariums is an hour away from me. Once I received the Interceptor, I took a ride down to see Jeremy and he was weighed the doses for me.

I performed the first treatment today. I treated the tank at 9:30 this morning, after removing the carbon and micron filter from my Ocean Clear canister. I didn't remove any shrimp or crabs from my setup. I have approx. 24 scarlet hermits, one banded coral shrimp and a few commensural...

Moe needs a new tank :) Here's one for sale. http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=37606 Seriously though, clean the glass :)

Send mail to skimmerman@sbcglobal.net and ask him about blemished Euro-Reef skimmers. I bought a skimmer from him via an EBay auction. It's my second Euro-Reef skimmer, and I've been very happy with it.

The way I control wayward strays of Xenia in my tank is to bury the colony with pieces of live rock rubble. The colony moves from the larger rocks onto the smaller pieces of rock. This usually takes a week or so. Once the colony is on the small rock, the rock is removed and either given...

Hi, FWIW, I've got experience with the LifeReef LCR1 and LCR2 and am currently running an MTC Pro Cal on my 120 gallon reef tank. I'd highly recommend the MTC reactor over the Lifereef reactors but only on a larger reef system (100+ gallons). LifeReef makes a really nice reactor, but...

Hi, a friend and me visited this store this past Saturday. I've been to Total Marine at both locations. The first store was definitely better. The new store promises to be be one of the best in the NY area. I'm from MA, but travel to stores in CT/NY from time to time looking for nice...
