Several months ago I picked up a beautiful Ultra Wellso from AP. It has been doing amazing on my stand bed under LEDs (Prestige-Gamma) and I have not moved it nor changed flow, etc. In the evening during sunset it would inflate to the size of a softball. Over the course of the last week is...

I recommend the previous thread be closed and we start fresh. None of the previous drama. Though some members have issues with others, they had little to nothing to do with the grow-out contest. Therefore, moving forward: BBRT expressed that he would be willing to purchase said colony and...

Last night I was able to pick up a 120gal tank from a buddy of mine J However, the stand has shelves on both sides and a small cabinet in the middle that will only hold a 29gal. I plan on doing a 55gal sump, therefore I need to build my own stand. The Tank is 60x18x26, which works out nicely...

Well ... Its official, I'm upgrading my 75g (which i still havent even transfered all my corals/livestock to) to a 120gal 60x18x26! I have two drill bits that I rather keep using (almost brand new), a .75'' and a 1.5''. My thought is to have two .75''in returns (T'ed off a 1000gph return pump)...

Picked up a 36" LED Gamma/Hybrid from Gus/Prestige-LED lastnight - Just playing around with it, WOW! I'm seeing colors come out/pop in corals i never saw before! Obviously, cameras have no idea how to read the LED light ... I was wondering if someone could give me some pointers on the proper...

Randomly found this clip of a 5,200 Reef - 20ft long - 32,000 lbs of Live Rock (all hand placed). Looks like the clip was from 2010, I'd be really interested in seeing the progress 5-10 yrs from now. http://youtu.be/Nf2XJDfsnFk

I know I can just start building one completely from scratch but I was wondering if anyone came across plans for a standard 75gal Canopy. Lighting: -2 250w MH pendants - being that they're pendants, Im thinking about having them basically sit on top and/or partically out of the top of the...

Looking at adding moonlights to my 75gal reef. Currently have 2 48" Actinic VHOs for sunrise/sunset and then will have 2 250w MHs as the main lights. I wanted something else to still view the tank when the MH/VHOs are off. Everything will be controlled by a RKE so i can set timers through the...

Looking at Float Switches from BRS to connect an ATO to a RKE through the SL1 (wow, enough acronyms? lol) All the float switches look about the same to me- I was wondering which people would recommend/have had the best experiences with - Preferably one that has a mounting kit... How about the...

I really hate to do this ... lol... But: RLK or APEX? I'm look for a basic controller at the cheapest price with the best options. I do like the fact that APEX allows wireless interface (iphone, etc). What are your thoughts? -This is not meant to turn in to a RLK vs. APEX battle, please try to...

Looking at "biting the bullet" and adding a JBJ ATO Unit to my BRS order since I'll probably end up getting one eventually. JBJ appears to be one of the most popular and reasonably priced compared to other units. Thoughts? Experiences? Other ATO Units? I would also still need a pump for the...

As the title states, I wondering which is considered better as they both are a parasitic dip.

About to plumb my 75gal DT and 29gal sump - Doing a 1.5" drain in the middle and 2 .75" returns at both ends of the tank. I will be using a Mag 7 as my return pump and will have valves and both lines so that I can adjust the drain/return lines appropriately. Originally was going to plumb it...

Hey All, I was just about to place an order w/ Glass-Holes.com and noticed that they occassionally celebrate unusual holidays w/ giving a discount. Yesterday I posted on their facebook that its National Play Doh Day, here is the reply I received: "Thank you for bringing this to my attention...

Getting ready to start setting up the new 75gal. Going to be running a 29gal custom sump/fuge w/ an external (In-Stand) ETSS 800 Skimmer. Thinking about also doing 1" drain and 2 .75" returns on either side for a more uniform look and alil flow from both sides by creating "T" split off my pump...

As some of you know I'm in the process of upgrading to a 75gal tank. I have all the equipment ready, as well as additional LR, however I still need to DRILL the 75gal. I'm planning on using 1.5'' overflow and a 1" return. I also need to make one more hole in my sump/fuge for an external skimmer...

Upgrading from a 29g mixed reef to a 75g. I'll be drilling the tank and running a 29g custom sump/fuge (DIY) with a ETSS 800 Skimmer (rated for 400gal) so I'm not too worried about bio-load, 100-150lbs of LR, 2x 250w Reef Optix HQI Pendants with 2x 110w VHO super actinics. I'm interested in some...
