I am close to being fully funded for my project and need help on some details. My tank is 180g 4x3x2 and I'm trying to match the output of my 2x250MH 10k and 440 VHO actinic. 1. I have an Apex controller and will be doing dimmable. What do I need to connect them together other than the Apex...

Since I've been out of the game for a little while and don't have the time to read forums like I used to, I have some questions. Please educate me. It is appreciated. Bio-pellets: Do we need them now? They help with what? LED lighting: How do you determine the wattage that you need? On my 180...

It's been quite awhile since I've been around. Hopefully some of you remember me [smilie=smile.gif] I think my 180 crashed at the beginning of 2007, and the thread on the topic is gone, so I'll recreate the situation as best I can remember and post pics in the next couple of days. My tank...

So the inspection is good for five years. If you take your tank to a place that does exchange and it has expired, do they charge you? I just took all four of my tanks somewhere and they have all expired. It's going to cost no small sum of money to have them inspected and filled.

Who has done this besides myself and Marc? What was your result? Please share any info. Marc, I wouldn't have known you did it if I hadn't been on RC today! How do you like it? I'm going to the garage to hack up my Eheim impeller!

Someone posted a couple weeks ago about their coral eating chocolate chip starfish. I have been procrastinating for almost a year about removing all of the rock with gsp, xenia, palythoa, and yellow polyps on it to cook it off. I was considering getting a CCSF and letting him work his way...

I can't wait to get this thing installed! 32.5" tall, 8" diameter, two gen-x 2400 needle wheel pumps, and extra deep collection cup. It also has his new twistlock top. 1/5 turn and lift to remove.

So I finally dove into my tank with a mask and snorkel to start taking things out that were out of control. I snapped out a bunch of monti cap, some of which had grown onto a brain coral. When I did that, i was near my clam. He has been super happy with no issues in two years. I got home...

I saw their controller at MACNA and can't wait till it comes out. It's pricey, but to me has the best features and mechanisms out there. http://www.biomatixsystems.com/econt.htm

I've been saying to several of you for awhile that my tank was beyond full. Here's some pictorial evidence from today along with some general pictures. Notice the Xenia, gsp, and yellow polyps that MUST go somehow.

Do any of you think it'd be a problem to frag one of my yellow fiji leathers and sell the frags loose/unmounted in bags? Should live right? I know how nasty gooey they get when you chop them and debate how to go about it.

So my RBTA split a couple weeks ago, so then I had three. Week goes by and I can no longer spot the baby. I look in the sump tonight with the pumps off and there's a really small one stuck to the acrylic where the water comes into the tank AND, BONUS, a bigger one stuck to one of the baffles...

I have some gsp's, xenia, and fuzzy mushrooms that I need to eliminate without taking the rock out of the tank. I'm open for any suggestions other than injecting kalk which I've already heard, but have yet to try. The xenia is my main concern. I swear that stuff can rejuvinate from a single...

I'd like to be able to offer my trigger and tangs some live food from time to time and wondered if there are any live offerings besides shrimp. Guppies?

Have any of you had success with taking out the agressor for a couple days and putting him back? I got a new purple tang today and my regal is abusing him badly. I don't really want to get rid of the regal, but can't let this go on as I prefer the purple. Would banishing him to my prop...

Ok, so I'm in on the group buy but have never used this stuff. What's the best way to get it off the frozen bar, feed it, and how much?

I've been through hair algae. I've been through grape caulerpa. Now, I'm going through Xenia. I pulled every rock out of my tank that had xenia and nothing else. Then I tore the xenia from every rock that had something else on it. Together, all of it filled the prop section of my sump.

Alright. I'm looking for some real world info here about tank automation. I just read Serk's bit about Linux and X-10, many of you use Aquacontrollers, etc. For the record, I don't follow RC because it's just too much and I don't have the time. It wouldn't bother me at all if somebody posted...

So, we talk all the time about hot tanks and this temp vs that temp. Has anybody ever caused damage to their tank with a temp too low? I tossed my last heater when I thought it malfunctioned. I couldn't talk myself into buying a heater retail and forgot to order one. This morning the tank...

I remember reading somewhere that alternating your fuge/propogation from your display would help maintain pH in the system. Does anybody have any experience with that being true? I'm going to be hanging a MH over my sump/prop and was debating the photoperiod.
