So seems like a lot of members have bikes here and I love seeing all different styles of bikes. So post up some pics of what you're riding around this summer and maybe we'll recognize each other just riding somewhere. Maybe a quick blurb of info on the bike too! I'll start with mine: 2003...

So, i've had these for awhile. Stuggled keeping them but they're flurishing now... all i know is they're some kinda aussie micros but never seen anything else like it. I cannot find a name... Do i get to name them?? :) -Eric

Hey guys, So idk why i never bothered to test my ALK... but i just found out it's super low... I just figured if my PH was good, so would the ALK... But my alk is only like 3 or 4 right now and my pH is around 8.2... How can I raise my ALK without messing with PH? I already do 10% water change...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone local (nw suburbs) Had a Par meter that i could possibly borrow, or have you come over and help me get some par readings on my new LED fixtures? I dunno how high I can turn them up without buring my SPS. I also don't feel like experimenting till I do...

So guys...I've been thinking about making the switch to LED's... If I do, it's definately going to be two of Prestige's SPS-55 units... Right now, I would ideally want something that ramps up and down each channel... But his quote for just a basic ON/OFF sps-55 unit is also very tempting... I'm...

Hey guys, Been dying to know what kind of acro this is... It's got a green base with purple tips... These were the best pics i could get... These are without flash: -Eric

Hey guys, Longboarding is my love, next to reefing. I do mostly downhill and freeride... Who else here longboards?? If so, what do you ride? My boards: S9 mini shaka//Road rider trucks//Abec11 flashbacks//Gator Gnar Griptape Brickbear Rayne Killswitch OG graphic//50* Gunmetal trucks//Abec11...

Hey guys, Well my phenoix 14k's are getting to their close spectrum change... So time for new bulbs... I've been wanting to get some nice, blue 20k bulbs this time around. What are people running? Right now I'm leaning on trying the XM 250w DE 20k bulbs right now... Mainly cuz I can get a...

Hey guys, Basically, I've been on the market for a proper wave maker and today, a ridiculous deal popped up on CL and I was lucky enough to snatch it up. Anyway, I'm wondering which side of my tank I should put it on to be optimum for my SPS and what % power to run it on... Here's my tank...

Hey guys, After just searching high and low about LED's and possibly making the switch, I ended up deciding I'm sticking with MH because of all the stories I've read about BTA's looking like poop or browing out under LED's. And I love my BTA's. Anyway, i'm using Reef optix 250w DE pendants...

Hey guys, I got a BTA in december from a local reefer who got it from colaadict. It was supposed to be a rainbow bta from austin aqua farms. Anyway, it was browned out from led's for some reason and I traded a small rbta i had for it. Well I'm just wondering how long does it take for a bta to...

Hey guys, I changed my mind on a 20L i was planning on doing and just got a 29gal setup I will be drilling and installing the glass holes overflow kit on. I'm still wondering what kind of lighting I should run and I was thinking about the possibility of just running a Par38 led bulb like from...

Ok, this is getting crazy. So my tank has been empty for a month now due to my Hippo tang having ich. Now they were all in copper treatment while the tank sat empty... All the fish were reintroduced into the tank friday morning... My dad tells me that today, there are white spots again on the...

Ok... so I just had prob the weirdest experience ever. It's night and all the lights have been off for about an hour now... I finished playing some call of duty and was about to head upstairs. I top off the water for the night (ya i know, ato coming soon) I do the usual stare at the tank for...

Hey guys, I was wondering the pro's and con's about dry vs wet skimming. I think i had my ASM g3 setup pretty wet before as it was getting skimmate pretty **** fast. I lowered the outlet tube to lower the water level about 5mm and now it looks much drier. I see more bubbles running down the...

Hey guys, So after finally awhile of manual topping off, i'll be picking up a good ATO setup from a local member. Now that takes care of my 75gal mixed reef, but i also have a 12gal nanocube. That tank is more or less just for fun and relatively low cost... I was looking for cheap ATO's for...

Hey guys, I'm purchasing a set of VHO actinics for my 75gal tomorrow. It is a 2x 110watt Actinic setup. I've been wanting more actinic/blue for my tank for a long time now. Now i've just been using 2x 30" T5ho actinics for my tank and have been setting them for my "sunrise" lights before my 1st...

Hey guys, I joined this site over the summer and I started a build thread over at RC and never started one here with my 75gal, so here it goes. 1st part is gonna be mostly cut and paste... Starting the build: Front of the tank: Overflow: Back of the tank, shows the homemade light hanging...

Ok, so I ventured into the realm of SPS corals after I transfered everything into my 75gal over the summer from a 7 year old 29gal softies tank. Parameters were stable for the 3 months I was as school so over thanksgiving break, i took advantage of the black friday sales and a few local reefers...

Hey guys, Can anyone explain to me what RTN and STN stands for and means? I've been reading about causes of SPS death and these come up but no one explains what they are... I'm new to SPS and Added a few SPS frags over thanksgiving break. I'm back home and My digitata frag and my little milli...
