Hi Marc, My name is Dennis and I am still kinda new to this. I have a 90gal RR tank with a 35 gal refugium. I have a mandarin and want to be sure he is getting copepods. I can see them in the first stage of my [sump] (where the overflow and my skimmer are) - they are everywhere swimming around. But when I look in the middle section (where the cheatomorpha and Miracle Mud are) I am not seeing them as much, maybe a glimpse of one or two. The same with the return pump section, by Marc Levenson | Oct 15, 2012 | Equipment, Events
Today, I finally took the official plunge into the SCUBA world. I've been circling the idea for the past six years, but knew it was an expensive hobby by Marc Levenson | Oct 9, 2012 | Tanks
Prior to MACNA, I had the opportunity to ask the guys at Real Reef to create a Rock Bowl for my tank. I've wanted something to grow mangroves near the top of the rockwork, where they would be able to grow up toward the metal halides high above the water. by Marc Levenson | Sep 26, 2012 | Corals, Fish, Reef, Travel
The Coral Triangle covers approximately 2.3 million square miles of ocean and encompasses six countries in the Indo-Pacific: Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. An unbelievable amount of biodiversity is condensed into less than 1% of the world's ocean surface area: The Coral Triangle (CT) is home to one-third of the world’s coral reefs, 75% of known coral species (~600 species of corals), nearly 3,000 species of fish, half of the world’s seagrass and marine mollusk species, 75% of known mangrove species, six of the world’s seven species of marine turtles green , by Marc Levenson | Sep 16, 2012 | Equipment, Opinion
I recently received the brand new electronic Neo-Therm submersible heater from Cobalt Aquatics. I was excited to test it out, because it doesn't look like any heater you've ever had before. It's about the thinnest I've ever seen, measuring at 8mm or the unusual 1/3" listed on the box.
