Anybody use these? Please share your experience. Who makes them?

Thank you very much!! I think that is exactly what it is. This is exactly how it looks. http://www.rfbolland.com/okislugs/dendnigr.html Now I need to figure out exactly what it eats.

Take a look at the pic. I found this in one of my tanks today. Is this some sort of nudibranch? It has the typical extensions near the mouth and the normal gill tufts towards the back. I know its not a scutus beacause it doesn't have the hard whit shell. Any thoughts? What does it eat?

I'm very happy with my dual pfo hqi ballast. I don't notice any noise and the halides fire immediately each and every time so far.

I use a Top Fathom. Super easy to set up and works really well. Moved to it from a Red Sea Berlin and the thing pulled out dark heavy sludge right away. Not real expensive either. I use a Mag 7 to power it using a ball valve open 75%. A 200A5 would work well on a 75 Gallon...

PADI Advanced Open Water

sorry... it is 5 feet in length

I've spent hours browsing through all the posts on halide lighting and find myself getting confused and concerned. I currently run 6 110w vho bulbs on my 125 gallon mixed reef (mostly softies but a few sps). I'd like to move to halides and continue using my vho actinics for dusk/dawn. So to...

Try some of DT's phytoplankton. All your corals will love it.

What kind of urchins do you recommend? The black long spines? I heard they can do a number on softies.

Yep, don't bother with them. I had 2 in my 125.... couldn't keep them rotating for more than a week at a time... if I was lucky. Now they've been retired to my sump where they still pump water but don't rotate. I retired them in favor of a natural wave powerstrip and 2 maxijet 1200's. Much...

Ok. Sounds like the Berlin turbos are bad, bad, bad... but what about the regular old Classics? I have been using a Mag 7 on my existing broken Berlin HO. Would the Mag 7 be enough for a Berlin Classic XL?

I have a 125 gallon with a 55 gallon sump. For the last 3 years I have been using a Red Sea Berlin HOB. Unfortunately my Berlin has seen hard times as of late and needs replacing. I have considered the Berlin in sump XL model. Does anyone have any experience with the berlin turbo models...
