Neptune released details of a new apex controller today. I think there are going to be a lot of unhappy customers and a lot of people jumping ship to Vertex or Tunze with the lack of backward compatibility of the new energy bar. They hinted at different fusion interfaces with more options for...

Reposted from Reef Central: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2552560 I haven't had any of my Jebaos fail but it seems that this may actually improve performance and reduce the necessity for frequent cleaning so I'm going to do this modification tonight.

AACorals, are you alive? Tried to get a hold of you a couple times in the last couple weeks but no answer. I'm sure you were busy with holidays and school!

Does anyone have any idea of what this piece may be, and if it's even truly an SPS? I had it back in my 75g in 2010 and have not been able to find a piece or even anything similar since then. If you know what it is or where I can find a piece I would be forever grateful! It originally came...

Wondering what time you guys will be open this coming Monday? I happen to be in town and wouldn't mind packing a styro full of goodies before my flight back to Arizona that afternoon.

Happy birthday Jaime, have a good one!

Triton's new fixture could be a game changer for people with Radions, Hydras, or other small panel LED fixtures who love the pop and are sick of the shading! At $500, it would be a great way to add T5 to your existing LEDs without having to sell all of your current fixtures and buy a $1000+...

Very interesting post from Reef2Reef, figured I would post it over here.

Went by New Fish yesterday to pick some things up and saw that they got a new shipment of SPS. They have really picked up on their in house stock list in both coral and fish. Great LPS including some nice rainbow acans, clams, great fish, nice SPS, really worth a visit! Here are a couple...

Looks like Jebao is going the way of Bubble Magus and trying to expand their Chinese made line into skimmers as well: http://blog.aquanerd.com/2014/08/jebao-d700-curve-skimmer.html For anyone who doesn't know, the last generation of DC pumps that Reef Octopus used in their mid-high end...

Noticed yesterday that my Fighting Conch had grown a third eye. Not sure how long it has been there, but thought it was pretty neat. No idea whether it's functional or not, but maybe an evolutionary mutation to be able to literally "look over it's shoulder"? Who knows, I thought it was pretty...

Had a small argument on chat and figured I would pose this question here as well. "For an SPS tank, how much flow is too much?" I have 3 WP10 powerheads putting out approx. 1000gph each on my 20g long nano SPS reef and it seems to me like the coral loves the flow. No coral has direct flow...

So I purchased this wrasse as a Grey Head Wrasse (Halichoeres leucurus) at the last meet from AQUAPROS. After a lot of research and discussion with various "wrasse people", I'm starting to think it's actually a Vrolik's Wrasse (Halichoeres chrysotaenia). I love the fish either way (even though...

I know there are some pond guys on here so I figured I would post some photos of the new lighting I put in at my grandpa's place in Baltimore. The old lighting (you can see it in the daylight pics) was no longer functioning properly so I figured I would help him out by re-doing it to take his...

I have all the parts to do a 4x24" retrofit inside a canopy but I'm a little worried about how close the fixture will be to the water (4" off the water) in a 20g tank (12" depth). The retrofit would use: Twistlock End Caps ATI 2x24w Ballast (x2) TEK 4x24" T5 Reflector (individually contoured)...

This really just did it for me right now......how about you?

Please nominate your favorite local Chicago Reefer's tank for Tank of the Quarter (TOTQ) for Q3 2014 (July-Sept). This quarter will be cut a bit short due to the nominations starting now. Nominations will end on 7/22/14 and the new winner will be announced 8/1/14. Nominees must meet the...

A while back someone tried to tell me that all of their bleached rics will automatically shrink and die because they don't eat :a42:. Just caught this neat sequence today. Sorry about the glass, gotta get the razor blade out again for the bottom near the sand.

Got this cool sequence tonight when feeding the tank. Pellet landed here: Tentacles moved it to here and the mouth took over:
