 Hey guys,We are planning a pretty significant remodel, and the 3 year old 100-mixed reef I have, is not going to fit into anything Wifey wants to do with our living area. So I am in negotiations to design and build a 265 to go in the Living room next spring. So , rather than try to move the...

I have 2 x 48" reefbrites. I was going to use them for supplemental for a 265 I was going to build. But after sleeping on it, our 110 is doing so well, we don't want to disrupt things right now. $80 each or both for $150 edit: 1 is a 50/50 and one is an actinic.  These are the Silver aluminum...

Hi guys,I have what can only be described as a PROLIFIC GSP colony. I thought I was managing it, but it's pretty much taken over my center overflow.  I'm "ok" with it being on the O-Flow, so now to avoid having to do a bunch of scrubbing and peeling to get it off this center rock, I figured I'd...

I have a few premium stuffs for sale, ya'll. When I decided to get back into reefing legit, I amassed a stockpile because I had not yet decided whether i was going to do a 4'-6'-8' tank, if I was gonna go Deep, etc.Now that i have settled in nicely into my little 100G, I am quite content, and...

So, I got back in to the swing lately and wanted to start out with some relatively affordable LED but wanted more features than budget allowed. I was fortunately able to pick up a quad of very lightly used SOL BLUES and Hydra Gen2, with remotes. Problem was, my new tank has a gorgeous canopy...

Hey I was wanting to get tabs on who is in my neck of the woods, now that I'm immersed back in the hobby. I'm up in McKinney / Allen / Frisco area. right at Custer and 121. So those are the areas I refer to as "local". So, who else is up here in the dirty North ? :) ha PM me, and I'll add...

Got a little over zealous with the sand bed in my new 120. It's by far the deepest I've ever created. I've never run a DSB, nor do I know if these even qualifies, as a DSB. Anyone wanna offer any particularly insightful hints on special care ? I'm particularly concerned post-cycle about how...

Hey guys, I'm starting my 120 back up after a 4 year hiatus, and have a question. I got some rock off a fellow reefer, that had for all intents and purposes, been cooked. (when I went to pick it up, it had been in a 55g bucket in the dallas heat, and the water was 100 degrees F.) Anyway...

Anyone know anything about their house brand ? I know it's gotta be OEMd from a major supplier, just curious if it's any good. I got a bucket for free with some tank stuff I bought ...

So, I bought this new in box off a guy from RC, and thought it was a great deal. Until the elves at FedEx showed up with it, looking like they had smuggled it over the border with a Trebuchet. Body is cracked where the pump volute screws in. Should I drill a small pinhole with a 1/64" bit...

My last sump was smaller than this one, and I am having a little trouble deciding what to do with the extra real estate. Although I'd like to think I know what the hell I am doing after all these years, I'm still undecided where to put the return. Much of the confusion is that the TS fuge I...

At one time or another, we've all done it. Made that impulse buy. An upgrade you wanted. Maybe an equipment replacement. A free leaky 210 needing a new home, for free ? Well, if you're like me, and you have little to no help at home from toddlers and a frail wife, here's how you can use...

Just wanted to let member know: Last year I started a project, restoring a '65 VW Beetle, and I ended up wiring and installing a 240V Welder (MIG) in my garage. so, if any of you folks DIY'ing ever need anything welded, from 22 gauge all the way up to 1/4", let me know :D -bd-

I have a coralife fixture that the thin coat of factory paint, is flaking off the metal housing. I think it's aluminum ? Is there any impact on heat dissipation if I paint it with a couple coats of appliance enamel ? I plan to wire brush it, seal it with Rust-O-leum Rust encapsulator. And...

Anyone ever seen a T5 retrofitted into a housing that was made with PCs ? For instance, a dual MH + 96W PC housing, keeping the halides, and swapping the endcaps and ballasts for T5 HO ?

Who has a center braced (black plastic) and have you found the brace impacts light distribution at all ? I just bought my new 120 aga and it's the same as my old one. I just couldnt pass up the deal. Butttt, I have a 48" 4 x t5 fixture At the moment and concerned its gonna cast a huge shadow...

Is there a suitable substitute for Weld-On ? I bought a Trigger Sump, Used, and I really would prefer cleaning, and running a light bead along the seams to ensure a great seal. Also, there's a small crack in the Red Acrylic top, I'd like to repair to add strength. Thanks for any advice.

Hey guys. I picked up the following and going to use it for my 120g. I know TS doesn't build them this way anymore, and I recall a reason, but it escapes me now. I'm probably going to use a Mag-12 or Quiet 1 5000 for my return, and may just use it in-sump to keep it cool, and since I don't run...

I'M BACK ! I been gone a long time, but I'm back. We relocated to Los Angeles in 2008, and in 2009 I sold my 120G Reef due to a promotion and 2 babies in 2 years. Now we're back in Dallas, and I'm looking to buy a new setup for the house. I'm gonna hit the classifieds but anyone know if...
