    3 sets of 250w Metal Halide hoods and ballasts

    Forgive my ignorance, I am not sure if people still use metal halides nowadays, I have three sets of Lumen arc and Lumen max reflectors with 250 sockets together with icecap ballasts from the days when I was crazy about raising corals. If anyone wants them, they are yours, otherwise trash cans...

    Free 30x30x18” ringless reef tank with base and hood

    The tank setup is in the good hands of a member on this site now. Thank you very much for all the interests, and I am sure the new owner will give the tank a great new life that I could not do in the last 10 years. I got rid of most of my tanks now, but still kept two nano tanks in storage. So...

    Free 30x30x18” ringless reef tank with base and hood

    I have not been on this site for more than 12 years as I just checked, and it took me a while to find this forum, so I hope I did not post this in the wrong place. I have been getting rid of my vast amount of coral equipments recently that I truly enjoyed many years ago. I stopped the hobby...

    Earth day LED bulb sales at Lowes

    Here is the link to the bulb at Lowes. Sunnyvale Lowes has 85 in stock, plenty for you Mike :). Funny the website says it is on sale, and the store says it is "everyday low price". I picked up two, very bright nice bulbs, brighter than my 13w CFL bulbs.

    Calcium Reactor Drips

    I have been using peri pump for the last 4 years, which is mostly solid. But beware that the silicon tube will leak after some time of usage, and how long before leaking depends a lot on how well it was fitted inside the pump head (which you cannot see). I flooded my floor a few times because of...

    what would you rec.???

    I ran a panworld external pump to feed everything (120G, 70G, phosban reactor, carbon reactor, bio-pellet reactor) for the last 3 years (maybe 4, I don't quite remember). The pump is turned off at least once a day for feeding. Never cleaned it once, and never get stuck once (cleaning a stucked...

    Need your doser opinion?

    Does anybody still use calcium reactor and kalk reactor? I feel so ancient now (I do have a brand new BM, just too lazy to set it up so far. Maybe I will whip myself to do it soon).

    Crab season

    Crabs are so good tasting, I am hungry again:). I never went on a trip before, and am wondering how it works. If I go on a trip with say Salmon Queen, does each individual set his/her own pot, then wait on the boat for hours, and check his/her luck at the end of the trip?

    Purple/ Blue Chalice Sponge

    Sorry for hijacking the thread, I just have a quick question. Is this thing photosynthetic? I got a frag directly from Matt about couple of months ago. Since I ran out of room, I put it under two levels of frag racks (one rack is black) and forgot about it. I just went checking, it seems to get...

    What is the longest you have ever kept coral out of water

    I tore down my small frag tank last year (or the year before, time flies), took out the eggcrate and rinsed it in tap water, since the tank and eggcrate collected so much poops they stink, so I put the eggcrate in the empty tank and put both of them out door overnight. It was pretty cold, and I...
