I have been struggling with my overflow durso standpipe, ballvalve, air hole, and various other components trying to get this thing to quiet down. Last night, I figured out that when the flow rate is reduced via a ball valve on the line FROM the sump, that the durso doesn't make a waterfall...

Anybody else having issues with Tapatalk on android devices? Mike, also the moderator controls are failing on my android through tapatalk. When you get a chance can you see if there are any updates/issues with it on the server side.

Due to the vote-off in the September and the late announcement of the October POTM contest, the October and November POTM will be combined. The theme is Gobies, Blennies, and Mandarin. Upload your photos to the November POTM sub-category in the Gallery. You have until October 15th to...

Sorry about the confusion guys and girls. I thought zeroing out the last poll except the two tied entries would allow everybody to vote again. Here is a new poll. Up for 3 days. Everybody vote for this months winner. Even if you voted in the previous 'vote off', vote again. Thanks! Jake

I just noticed. Happy birthday man. :preggers:

I will admit that I am no pod expert, nor do I have an fish like a mandarin that requires a healthy pod population. I am not running a refugium, but will probably be installing one shortly. When ever I use my mag float to clean the glass at the front of the tank, I kick up about 20 amphipods...

Anybody have a good source for RO replacement membranes? I have the coralife pure-flo II system. Starting to see some cynobacteria popping up and I think its about time. They are pricey, so just curious if anybody had a good place to pick one up on the cheap.

What does everybody use to edit software. We recently upgraded to Windows 7 and I can't find my previous program used for editing. With a new full HD camera, I want to get another video of the tank tomorrow.

Here we go... Generator running, candles lit and ice ready for the sump. This summer has been unreal. Anybody else up? Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt using Tapatalk

I have a PCX GenX-30 return pump on my 150 gallon. It was set up about a year and half ago and I have never cleaned the pump. It still pumps well, nice and quiet, and gets as warm as it did when it was brand new. Just curious if there is even a way to open it up and clean the internal parts...

So we were able to pick up a frag of tyree pink lemonade from MCF a month or so ago. Since acclimating it and putting it in the tank and then slowly moving it up to more intense light, the pink color has definitely increased. Additionally, the fuzzy polyps are constantly out. Overall, it...

its because I jumped off a bridge out of frustration of these stupid flat worms. Just saying.

Hey everybody. I am considering taking an extra 10 gallon tank I have laying around and making a little refugium under my 150 gal. mixed reef. I plan on running the refugium separate from my sump because my sump is basically full. What I plan on doing is putting the 10 gallon up on a small...

Hey all. Anybody else have any experience with the apex aquacontroller? I am programming some pumps to turn on for 30 minutes every 6 hours during the day only. Does this look right? Fallback OFF Set OFF OSC 390:00/030:00/240:000 Then OFF If time 20:00 to 06:00 Then OFF If FeedA 002 Then...

Due to frequent power outages, I did this review some time ago. At this price, this size generator is perfect for our hobby and affordable! When I first started looking at these things, I was astounded at the cost. Obviously, the Honda models are the highly recommended ones, but they also come...

Though I am not completely finished with the light up-grade, specifically because I am still waiting for hanging kits to come in, I wanted to do a quick review for everybody about the Aquaillumination (AI) SOL LED modular light fixtures. The system is very flexible through its modular design...

Never heard of this until recently. While my tank was without lights for nearly a week, a large colony of zoas as closed and been covered in these little white lesions. We dipped it in a coral dip last night, but I think we are going to try some other dips like Furan2. Really upset about...

My light shorted out and I decided to go with the AI Sol LEDs. Little did I know that these things are back ordered everywhere. I was able to pick one up from Aquacave, but I need 3 more. I ordered another one from aquacave which should be here by Wednesday. Additionally, me and Tammy...
