    Using Chemiclean or other antibiotics

    I have long been wary of using chemi-clean and the other antibiotics often used to dose tanks to try and clean out cyano-bacteria outbreaks. In my mind it was always a question of targeting all bacteria, good and bad. Anyone see this article in Advanced Aquarist's Magazine by Terry Siegal? It...

    Electronic Ballasts ????

    I know I am probably looking for headaches. But is anyone using electronic ballasts with a Neptune controller and the X-10s? Because of electric bills, I am cutting down both my wattage use and heat issues. I am going to three EVC Tech 400 watt electronic ballasts with three LumenArc Mini...

    Deep Sand Bed or Bare Bottom??? Options

    I thought I would copy this pretty good but brief article I found on the Marine Depot site. It give a brief overview of the three options of what to use on the bottom of the tank. And I said three, I do not think a layer of crushed coral is an option and apparently neither did they. An...
