So as an update, I decided to go with the Waterbox 100.3. The price point worked out, and when I went to see one I really liked the style. Also it all being in imperial dimensions is helpful. Once it arrives I'll be starting a new build thread and reviewing some components.

As someone that is looking to switch to an Apex from a RKL, what haven't you been happy with?

I can definitely help. I'm going to be buying a new Waterbox tank and new gear soon, so I will be able to get some articles about that. As well as everything that happens with the setup.

I'd probably speak to your vet about it.

So I'm going to be moving into my girlfriend's apartment within the next few months, and I really don't want to risk dealing with my custom plumbing in an apartment.

I've always had sand because of the more natural look. But I have always had issues with keeping my nutrients in control. I've been running a chaeto-reactor, and a BRS dual-reactor with carbon and GFO, and I have a skimmer. I'm not always the most habitual with waterchanges though. Generally my...

With wind chills expected to be close to the negative 50s, they are saying it is supposed to be colder in Chicago than it will be at Mt. Everest, Siberia, and Antarctica. So what are all of you reefers doing to help make sure your tanks stay safe and warm in case of an emergency? Feel free to...

I feel like it is finally time to upgrade my return pump in my 60g cube. I've been running the same Danner Mag 9.5 for quite a few years, and I decided I want to upgrade to a DC pump for the quieter operation. Anyone have any recommendations on DC pumps based on cost vs performance, sound, heat...

So I happened to make one of my bi-yearly trips to Beyond the Reef with my girlfriend, and I was really excited to show her the store since it was always one of the stores with a great selection and lots to look at. I walked in and first I noticed they remodeled, ok that's cool. It's nice to...

Shedd Aquarium is going to be opening a new special exhibit that specifically revolves around ocean beauty, so colors, patterns, etc. Based on a behind-the-scenes video, they are supposed to have two large coral tanks, and a tank with giant clams. Could definitely be something interesting to...

Two different people, from two different sources, have now sent me this news article that is spreading a lot of misinformation about Palytoxin. So depending on how much traction it picks up, we may have another push to ban corals/fish like with the clownfish. Figured I'd bring it up...

I first bought my blue linkia starfish in December 2013 from bluezooaquatics. The weekend it was supposed to arrive it ended up being super cold, so BZA called me and asked if we could get it dropped off at a Fedex service center instead f it being delivered, this made me a lifelong customer of...

Not sure if anyone was aware but the Petland/Aquarium Adventure in Bolingbrook, and most likely the Schaumburg one, have their annual 50% off sale. I know Petland is not as great as some of our other LFS, but if you know prices, they do have some decent deals. They had a bonded pair of...

Not sure how many of you made it out to the Grand Opening of Blue Line Coral this past weekend, I know madjoe was there on Saturday. This places it in a similar vicinity to Aquapros and Reefwise. (Sorry I have to edit this post to protect our current sponsors - MaiDia) If you've never met Dan...
