That would be awesome! I can sneak out of work to meet you somewhere during the week. Let me know when and where works best for your schedule.

We stayed in Oakley, just moved to a bigger house. I set up a 150 in the new house and just moved everything over from my old 65 gallon and shut that down. Had lots and lots and lots of problems with algae. Lost all the corals and fish at one point. Completely re-set the tank and all the...

Lurking a little. Working a lot. I've had a *lot* of problems with my tank since I moved in 2014. Almost shut it down about a year ago. I think I'm finally getting a handle on it though!

I added 2 T5 bulbs (Blue Plus + Actinic) to supplement 3 Kessil A360s about 6 months ago. This is over a 4’ wide x 30” deep tank. That helped even out the lighting over the tank for sure but can’t vouch for the effect on the corals yet. It definitely “blued” up the tank which I like. What...

Can you open it up and send me a picture of the DC jack? That sounds like it should be an easy fix.

I have one you can pick-up in Oakley or Martinez (Mon-Fri between 5:30 AM and 4:30 PM) courtesy of Saltwatersig (Sergio) if you want it. He recently took his tank down and I picked this up from him last night. Let me know if you're interested. ~Charlie

Ashburn - Did you order/acquire your Vortech battery back-up yet? ~Charlie

For what it’s worth, I have a 48” x 24” wide x 30” tall tank (150 gallon) and wish I wouldn’t have gone that tall. I’m up to my armpit if I have to grab or place anything at of the bottom of the tank. I do have tongs but they don’t work all that well when your trying to glue a frag to a rock...

<== Perl, some PHP, database (Mostly MySQL but familiar with many others), JavaScript (including AJAX), HTML and CSS. We just moved to a new house and I don't have a lot of time for the next few weeks at least. If you have anything quick and easy that I can knock out in a couple of hours I'd...

That looks like a resin and not a metal oxide to me. That would make sense on why they picked that type of reactor as well. That's what you would run your D/I resin in for smaller R/O systems. I had to order a replacement chloramine block from BRS yesterday and ordered one of those reactors...

How does this reactor differ from the BRS in-line filter? They look very similar to me but it's hard to tell from the picture. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/refillable-inline-di-cartridge.html ~Charlie

It will be a while before I can get good pics of it again. I moved the tank to a back room in my current house a week ago so I can have new carpet installed. I have it temporarily set up now since I will be moving it again in a month to my new place. Actually, the plan in to get a new tank...

Unfortunately the time has come. This tank, stand, and canopy (only) are for sale. If anyone is interested please PM for details. I will make a post in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum in the next couple of weeks. p.s. Some of you know that I've been battling red bugs for a while now (a year??)...

I know for a fact that a few reefers do just that. In fact, I've seen it at every BAR swap I've been to so far and it's almost always the same folks doing it. You will usually see these reefers active in DBTC as well. A few have been jaded by the negative aspects of doing this and...

+1 on that. That's a very good idea.

I'd rather see slightly longer round durations over previews. I think that puts those that are not good and identifying corals at a disadvantage. Just my opinion here; no hard data to back it up. This has always been difficult to predict ahead of time. What we did this time was take the...

We're still looking for a few good volunteers for check in and registration. This is the spot that keeps the show on schedule. This is also a great spot to meet and shake fins your fellow reefers! Check in/registration/coral runners 11:00-1:00 (4-5 people) 1) aquatic mouse (no running!) 2)...

though my recent semi-tank-crash has left me with half the coral population I had before tisk tisk ;) Fidel - I have frags if you want them. LPS, SPS, and Zoas. *Disclaimer - Tank has had red bugs within the last year. No sing of bugs since treating a few months ago (3+ I think.) PM if...

I have several more frags of this available if anyone is interested after reading the disclaimer below. *** Tank had red bugs and has been treated *** No sign of red bugs for the last 4/5 weeks. I have two or three frags that are nicely healed. The main colony is the size of a very large...
