okay, I am starting to describe the system, take a look for pbx tank system in the members spec forum.

I have been asked to post info on my fish system (it's not a tank but rather 4 interconnected tanks). Fisrts let me start of with that this is an evolution from about 5 years of salt water tanks, second it's highly automated and somewhat abnormal. The main tank is 72*36*30 (l*h*w) yes it's...

I should be able to do that, I have some kicking around and can take more. I am guessing I should post them in the tank spec forum but I'll place an update here when I do.

Thanks for the info. I calibrated the probes and my flictuations now are 0.2 centered on 8.2. Now that I know not to worry about the pH fluctuations, I need to look at the water movement as my return pump got drastically reduced. Next problem :o but then hey if the system ran perfectly what...

That is fair, I just wanted to know about the level of fluctuation. I'll check the absolutes some time next month. Peter

No Dosing only a Calcium Reactor (disolving at 7.0) however I have not calibrated the probes in ages and they have been moved so I am due to recalibrate them soon. I also have to change the location as they are starting to have algea growing on them. Peter PS. I guess this means adding...

Hello Everyone, I am trying to figure out if my daily fluctuations are normal or I need to worry. I have a 600 Gallon system 4 interconnected tanks, with over 3,000 Watts of light. I have a 175W MH on reverse time. I am seeing about 1.5 degree celcius dail swing 22.5 min at 7am with the max...

I need to get more info on the Garlic treatment (any pointers) and yes I'll add 1 purple tang (first). I have a 75G reef that has a sailfin (larger) that I may move down and turn the other tank into a FOWLR (scorpion lion fish has been bantered about). Peter

Thanks, I have been trying to get a Water Resistant socket (do you have a part number or something like that). Also can you email or post a link to the Lightmaster SW. I will be running it from an Aquadyne Controller and a whack of X-10 stuff. Thanks, Peter

I am thinking of having 1 purple and 2-3 hippo's. They would all be bought as very small and I'd introduce all hippo's at the same time. The tank has a lot of swimming space. Is it okay or do you think the hippo's will fight? Peter

Does anyone know where I can get either a acatinic incandescent or a blue (painted I guess) incandescent and can the acatinic be dimmed or is it like a flourescent (on/off)? Peter Ps. It's to simulate the night cycle, with a moon

Hmmm, it's more along the lines that I could live with loosing a snail per day or so. (I seem to be able to breed snails in my sump so it would not be as pricy as it sounds. The issue is I can not get a creature that eats 2-3 snails in a day. I agree triggers are out and the angel was more of a...

I am setting up my new 350G tank and am thinking of getting a snail eater (depending upon if that is all they will go after). Any experiance with keeping any of these in a reef? The tank will be a reef with lots of corals and a lot of LR. I will have 3-5 clams (small sizes) and lot's of snails...
