Beautiful tank and nice job on the video. I like the audio.

Yea, it was my fault. I have tried to keep compatible fish for the past 6-7 years and this was the first time I screwed up. It was somewhat of an impulse buy that I have avoided until now. FYI, I had these shrimp for at least 3-4 years and they were both fairly large, so at least the hawkfish...

I had to remove around 100 pounds of liverock from my tank last weekend to remove a spotted hawkfish that had killed all my shrimp and my purple firefish and was starting to attack my mimic tang. Took him back to the fish store where I had purchased him from months earlier and they gave me an...

I was just about to complain..... As usual, good job Len and thanks for all the hard work on this site. I don't post a lot, but I am always browsing reading all the "expert" advice.

I second Lifereef. Jeff does great work.

I have used Little Giant pumps for the past five years as they came with my Lifereef filtration system when I ordered it. I am about to change over to the Iwaki pumps with Japanese motors. Even though the little giant pumps that came with the sump and protein skimmer were the pressure rated...

I have gone thru two Rios in the last year using them strictly to mix my new saltwater. My local fish store recommended a CAP-1800 made by Aqua Clear Aquatics. It has lasted around five weeks and is now causing by GFCI to kick off as soon as I plug the pump in. Hopefully they will take it...

Looking for advise whether I will be able to mount a sea swirl (3/4") to the front of my Oceanic 120 that has a full hood on top. Cannot tell from their website whether I will be able to do this with the standard mounting equipment that comes with the sea swirl. I was hoping to mount in one...

Did you purchase the calibration fluid make for your TDS meter. My Hanna uses 1382 ppm calibration fluid but it seems like each meter calibrates with different fluid.

I've had the unit a little over a year. All topoff water (2-3 gpd) and water changes have been run through it. No I do not have a backwash kit.

Currently run a 100 gpd Barracuda ro/di system by AquaFX. In the past I have had a good pressure reading of 50-60 psi. Now I'm reading only 35 psi or so. There is no pressure loss throughout rest of the house nor from the clothes washer cold water hookup that I have the Barracuda split from...

Both the following companies sell them: www.northcoastmarines.com and www.bioconlabs.com/chillers.html . I looked seriously at buying one earlier this summer but decided to let the central ac keep the tank cool for one more year.
