    those looking at getting Vortech's (or have them already)....

    pretty cool calculator by echotech to determine what you need in terms of # of mp10, 40 or 60's http://ecotechmarine.com/calculator/ I did this for my 180 and the two MP40's are good for an SPS tank, preferably a 3rd would put me right in the sweetspot for SPS, which I eventually plan on getting.

    Came home and somehow my Solon wrasse I've had for months or over a year managed to jump out of my tank, I even have screens! Sheesh, add a wrasse, lose a wrasse :( Hopefully mcf has some of those nice blue sided wrasses left, maybe I'll look for a Scott's. RIP little buddy

    LOL...whip fin fairy wrasse vs yellow fin fairy wrasse

    Picked up a beautiful male whip-fin fairy wrasse from MCF yesterday, my established yellow fin fairy wrasse was giving it hell so I decided to go all lights out around 3pm for a few hours. Lights back on, no sign of the new guy, I figured in the darkness he found a good hiding spot. So today...

    Kalk dosing (via Apex), need some advice

    so I recently started using my PM Kalk reactor more regularly but via top off (versus a drip). Now that my SPS are growing out, my ALK tends to drop fast, even with 27G water changes every two weeks. I had some issues about a month ago (loss of color with some, 2 pr 3 corals bleached and...

    help! low dKH and high Ca

    Hi all, hoping I can get some solid advice, I've had a couple corals wither away on me over the last couple weeks, but couldn't figure out why. Decided to test my water today and my Ca was at 540 and my dKH at 6. What's the best way to fix (slowly of course). I have some Kent Super Buffer dKH...

    Like Clockwork

    I swear this happens every time I'm away from my tank for 3-5+ days...luckily it's not disaster, just annoyance. I can be around my tank for weeks at a time, no frags come loose from the rock work, or an equipment failure that is not disastrous. I'm gone for a week, I come back, a frag of...

    growth shots SPS

    OK, thought I'd finally get around to posting a growth thread for my tank, which is primarily SPS, but I have some LPS, but I caught the bug for colored sticks last year and have gotten much better with my husbandry skills. All of my SPS I bought from MCF, as Ryan (and Sara) knows, I love to...
