This just came across my TV , and I thought it might be an easy install for lighting inside an aquarium stand. Being that the light can be positioned pretty much anywhere could make it very handy, and the motion activated sensor is a really nice thing to have...

I ran across an issue with my Mag levels in my tank being at 1230 recently with no real understanding of what could be causing it. I am in the process of talking with seachem to figure out what is going on and thought I would share the conversation. I also have spoken with another reefer who...

I have made an attempt over the past few years to get a small reef going, but because of travel for work it hasn't worked out. Now I have moved up in the world and get to pass all of the travel off to the noobs. Since my 90 is now a FOWLR , I will attempt this reef once again. Equipment ...

Sorry this is so long , but Im trying to cover all of the questions that my arise. My tank had been Taken over with algae. It appears to mostly be GHA, but Im not 100% certain that there isn't other types along with it. My problems started about the same time that I switched to Red Sea salt...
