I just got it and it's ok. Can anyone tell me how to do a series recording for new shows only. I can do the series recording but cannot figure out how to make it for new shows.

My Vortech pumps have an option for a battery backup which I use. The battery backup keeps them running for about 24 hrs so that the water stays oxygenated. I have had outages in the past on my old heavily stocked reef for about ten hours with no issues. Checkout some other powerhead manufacturers t...

Aye Guys. So after a tank break down and a move I am back. Got my new setup up and running. I am actually looking for some sps frags. Trying to get back into a sps only tank! PM me if You have.

I'll get some shots of the new setup up soon!

Contemplating buying an Apex Lite from neptune systems, anyone have any experience with their products? I run the full Apex as it has the variable speed ports that I use for light dimming and has two pH ports. I use one to control my calcium reactor, and the other to monitor my aquarium. As far as ...

Fishman, seeing that you're an SPS person, Have you ever checked out whats your Alk, Mag & Cal range for best growth/color. Like for instance i've seen better growth with certain corals when my dKH is above 8.5 (mainly in the mid to high 9's). But when it was below 8.0, i got better color in so...

:shock: wayyy you does paint your coraline on the rocks or wahh i have to see your tank!!! Those pics are not even color enhanced, Actually they are allot brighter in real. Thats because i dose Alk & Cal (ESV, B-Ionic) on a daily basis. If you see how my coraline grows and plates in bulk on my ...

Really liking the eurobrace. I am going to be building a new tank soon with a similar design except I want to do an external coast to coast overflow. Do you mind telling me who made the tank for you? Also is that standard or low iron glass?

Mentioning apex and reef keeper controllers.... any of you all have any?

Reefplanet wrote:Is the controllable one more expensive or the same thing.

Definitely more expensive. The controllable Tunze price falls more in line with Vortech pricing.

Fishman

so it will be good i guess i could buy 2. I read that this pump makes waves and thing Tunze is a great pump. Keep in mind that they make two different types of pumps. 1) is a constant speed power head which is what the 6015 is. 2) is a controllable power head. The controllable power heads take an i...

Not knocking the Korallia's price point and value, but build quality is where my main issue was. Stray Voltage is just too risky IMO.

Fishman

Raj say he doesnt sell korallia powerheads :| :? .............. I would skip Korallia on the whole. From experience I don't think they are worth it. I had problems with them starting in reverse, clicking and stray voltage. I use mine now to mix fresh salt water and use a GFCI to plug them into beca...

Lol. Thanks. No I haven't been fragging. Just don't have the time or space for frags to encrust at the moment.

^^............ Ineed to get a better cam to take my shots. i dont get the bright colors like you. Cameras have a really hard time with our tanks because of the intensity of the lights and spectrum.

Thanks Honda. I borrowed a camera to shoot the tank. It is a Canon EOS Rebel T1i.

Fishman

Aye fellas. I haven't been posting much as I've been really tied up. I'm posting a FTS and some close ups to show how the tank has been progressing. Its pretty much on auto pilot these days other than the occasional alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium tweak. http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae2/Peil...

i tested the rain water: pH= 6.0 can fix that with pH buffer. ammonia= 0 nitrites= 0 nitrates= 0 Be careful with this. While the rain is falling it picks up contaminates from the air that you may not be able to test for. What's the TDS of the water you collected? Also if you are collecting the wate...

yeah thanks for the advice man, I went ahead and purchased it, for the cost of discus it's really a stupid move not to make a sensible investment such as this.

Low - 81F/27.2C High - 85F/29.4C thats nearly 2 deg C difference. Honestly i dont know how it might affect your corals. I've had those similar readings on my small tank and had issues with keeping zoas and brains. But then i still cant pinpoint and say it was that. I had high Nitrates, lighting was...
