    TEK Lighting Fixture

    I have a TEK 36” 39w x 6 bulb fixture. It was is pretty desperate need of replacement with a couple bulbs already burnt out. I order 6 new bulbs and after installing them the outer 2 would flicker when switched on (although the old bulbs were working fine). I left it off and tried this morning...

    Chaeto Grow Bulb Opinion

    Can I get a few opinions on this grow bulb I'm gonna buy for my Chaeto growth in sump? Lowe's Home Improvement I had 2 stunner strips on it one white one 50/50 and had great growth, but they don't seem to last much longer than a year, always right outside warranty... I have no interest in...

    Worm ID

    Can someone help me ID this worm? It's setup shop inside one my largest rocks at the bottom of my scape so removing the rock would be quite difficult. I found him with a red flash light at night snacking on what was very little left of a silverside that my Bubble Coral had expelled. I haven't...

    Tank Surge Protector Switch Flipping

    So the past few days my surge protector switch has been flipping and shutting my tank down (never for more than 15 minutes though) and I've been going plug to plug, device to device trying to figure out what's going on... The culprit: The switch lights up so I guess it was just too enticing...

    T5HO vs LED

    I currently have the TEC 36" 6 Bulb T5HO fixture with geisseman bulbs (2 lagoon, 2 actinic+, 2 pure actinic) on my 65 RR tank. I've never been a huge fan of SPS sticks so I mostly stay with softies (shrooms, ricordia, Zoas), encrusting (monti, goniopora), Anemones (2 RBTA's), and LPS (hammer...

    RBTA Shrunken

    So one of my RBTA's has been being a bit of a turd lately... Yesterday it shrunk up and looked all melty, but within an hour started going on the prowl, literally setting up shop almost on top of my other RBTA. It has since moved a few more inches away and is hiding under a rock now. I'm...

    Another MARSH Greeting

    Hello all! My name is Billy and I'm a long time lurker, occasional member, and am getting back into the hobby more seriously after a year of not really doing much with my tank other than basic maintenance. I recently paid my dues and am looking forward to being a more active member and...

    Coral ID

    Can someone ID this for me? I've had it for a while and can't remember its' name for the life of me. Not the best pic since it's from my phone, but my camera seems to have grown legs and walked off....

    Hydroids

    So yesterday I took out all my rock and scrubbed/cleaned the unsightly algae coating everything to give my CUC a fighting chance at maintaining it. In the process I went ahead and chiseled off a bunch of Hydroid colonies. I don't really have anything in my tank that is bothered by Hydroids, I...

    Aquascaping Suggestions

    I've always wanted to do something different with my rockwork, but every time I go to move things around I end up doing the same thing because of my old powerhead configuration. With my newly installed MP40W, I feel like I have a few more options, and don't have to leave such a huge gap behind...

    Flow and Controller Questions

    I have 3 Koralias in my 65 G. and have been thinking about getting the vortec MP40 to replace all of them. I hate having all those ph's in my display, plus I could use a little more erratic flow in there. From what I've read, I assume one would be enough for that taking into account the...

    The Sump of Shame - Hermit Banishment

    So after the Great Tank Crash of '10 I decided to try hermits in my tank instead of only snails like I had previously. Got some fairly small Blue & Red Leg Hermits. Well, for one they have never touched the algae in my tank, which was their intended purpose. After watching them decimate my...

    Hello There - Not New, but Returning

    Hello all! I'm not new to the hobby but just thought I'd intro myself since it's been a few years since I've been active on here. I never got rid of my tank, but I certainly wasn't doing it any favors either. Kinda just left it on stand by for a while lol. That was until I moved and was able to...

    AquaC EV Protein Skimmer

    Does anyone know of a retailer that carries the AquaC EV series protein skimmers? I'd rather not order it online, but will if necessary.
