    Sorry to hear that Bernie - Luckily, Quite a few of the frags made it around the group - I'm not sure of all who got a frag, but Hopefully this coral stays in the community.

    what should I include in my "clean-up crew"

    ...Which begs the question - when are hermits necessary? I.e. what role do they actually play in the tank's ecosystem?

    what should I include in my "clean-up crew"

    Hey Guys, I'm trying to start planning for my new tank, and I wanted to get some advice on what I should add to the tank for a clean-up crew. Honestly, I have often have very few snails, hermits, etc., in my tanks, but I am considering adding a few to start the new tank (when the time...

    Kyle's 40G sps Reef

    I really wanted to take pics of the empty tank - and totally forgot to do so... the tank is now packed in the POD and we leave on Thursday - I promise to do my best to take pictures of the tank as I set it back up... I trust this group of friends and reefers about helping me on decisions...

    Calcium reactor: Best models and 1 stage or 2?

    Well then I know that this is occurring, since the 2nd stage always does dissolve some of the media. Yes, the first stage dissolves at at least 2x the rate of the 2nd, but, something is happening in there.

    Calcium reactor: Best models and 1 stage or 2?

    Never gone wrong with a Geo - easy to use, reliable, etc. I have used a second chamber before, to try to mimize the pH damage done because of the reactor - I guess, also to try to completely saturate the effluent. I cant speak to Pixel's claims that a "properly running" reactor saturates the...

    Which external pump to buy ?

    Sergio - I've used the Dart Gold as my external pump with great results - like any pump - I always recommend to clean it out on a regular basis (3-6 months or so). Another option would simply to go with the 1262 from Eheim, or a Red Dragon or ATB as your wet return. Let me know if you...

    Getting rid of Algae

    not sure If i missed this info...do you have any fish presently in the tank? If you don't, then why are you feeding the tank? If you do have fish, you will be surprised how little food they can get by on. Seriously, I feed my tanks maybe 2x a week, and I feed a few pellets at a time so all...
