    Problem with T5 Lights

    recently I noticed that two of my T5 lights went out, I was thinking no problem, its just the bulbs. I ordered replacement for all 4 of my T5 lights, and after installing the same two lights didn't work. They are not on the same ballast.. It is a hamilton Cebu 48" - and its the inside bulbs...

    Ah, the difference a year makes...

    Its always fun to sit back daily and watch the activity and enjoy our tanks... Thinking back to earlier troubles I had with a new tank and the slow progression that it has made. I found some old photos from nearly a year ago to the day, and compared to my tank today. Thought I would never get...

    should I be concerned..

    So I have a 20k Lokani growing well in a my tank.. however, slowly but surely a mat of zoanthids are creeping in. I don't really want to move the lokani, since its attached and doing well.. but I also would like space for it to encrust, if it will.

    UV Sterilizer and Vodka dosing thoughts...

    Ok, subject pretty much says it all.. I have read a few different opinions, and wanted yours. I just recently started my vodka dosing reginment, and I have been running a UV Sterilizer for quite some time. Just curious if you think this is counter productive, would the UV kill the bacteria that...

    Guess its time for a lid...

    of course, should have done it before. I was out of town last weekend, when I got a call from my girlfriend to regretfully inform me that one of my onyx clowns had made the fateful jump. Odd, I have two wrasses, and would have thought those would go before a clown. sigh.... well, I just ordered...

    Oh what a month makes...

    Well for a while I was having serious hair algae issues... but, I know have found - a little patience, elbow grease, water changes and the right inhabitants make all the difference. I added two hungry emerald crabs and a fox face along with my kole tang. And (knock on wood) I have all but...

    Peppermint eating Acan?

    The last couple of days I have noticed one of my Acan frags not looking to hot.. at first I thought it was because I added a MP40 over the weekend, and it didn't like the new flow where it was at. But, today - I went home for lunch, checked on the tank and saw one of my peps digging at my Acan...

    small urgent question...

    ok.. so, as chronicled earlier - I had a mantis in my tank. Well... at lunch I noticed again that he was in a really big rock. I pulled it... and did a fresh water did. I noticed him scurry to another hole - so I know he is in this rock. I sat there and filled my sink with fresh water, and...

    Anyone had success trapping a mantis

    I have a 3/4" golden spearer in a very large piece of live rock. I have tried pulling the rock and doing freshwater dip and seltzer but the rock is way to porous with a lot of places to hunker down. I watched him for a while yesterday, he was just taunting me!!! I don't want to pull the rock...

    ok, so I am looking to make my next investment, but can't decide. MP40 or Reef Keeper Lite/Elite. marine depot is running a special right now, reef keeper lite, with SL-1 expansion and free ph probe. But oh boy, would love the MP40.. right now I am running two JBJ Ocean Streams on a wavemaker.

    ELOS Testing Kits, Kent Reef Salt or user error!

    Anyone use these... I picked some up and finding the results odd. After using the Mag test last night I got a low reading of 950. I was thinking ok, its been a week since a water change, and I've only supplemented Tech M once. And, this morning after creating a new batch of saltwater using Kent...

    Just a quick hello

    New to the forum.. and relatively new to the hobby. I previouslly ran a semi-succesful 29 gallon sumpless reef for a couple of years before Hurricane Ike and an ill timed move to a new house. Now a few years later after a prolonged itch to get back in, I dove in with a 90 gallon RR AGA. This...
