    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    Trying to figure out how that works. Is it an additional hook that you can wrap the wire around to shorten the length and tilt it? Access was probably the biggest gripe I had with a hanging fixture. I would manually adjust the wire in the cable lock whenever I needed access but it was a pain in...

    Odd post i came across

    At current prices that's like two ICP tests. Luckily I hoarded a whole bunch at <$30 each. I have a test done once or sometimes twice a year if something looks odd. Those trace element chasing folks seem to do a lot more.

    Odd post i came across

    I think the lab is an awesome idea, kind of like those shared workshops with all sorts of tools to use, except for bio sciences. Way beyond the science level of the average reef hobbyist. For the reefing part he's gauging interest in, it's going to be hard finding that target audience because...

    Casey's Red Sea S-1000

    I'm now in the eight Kessil club. Previous configuration was 6 kessils down the center area and two rows of four Quanta Pro strips in the front and back. I wasn't 100% happy because the LED strips washed out some of the shimmer and I had to compensate the blue color by cranking the Kessils to...

    Rainford Goby Too Much Flow?

    Ask Kenny what it was eating at the store and feed it after leaving the flow off for a couple minutes so it feels comfortable. It's not unusual for a fish to stay close to a hiding spot for a couple weeks while it gets used to the new environment.

    Orphek OR4 vs Quanta Helix Light Bars

    Correct, i have two rows of Quanta Pro meseo blues (4 x 36") which are not dimmable. I'm thinking of switching to 2 x 36" down the center and have the kessils front and back since I'm a bigger fan of the Kessil asthetic. $100 each if anyone else is interested

    Orphek OR4 vs Quanta Helix Light Bars

    I might be selling two 36" Quanta Pro meseo blues in the near future. These are the original non-dimmable ones.

    Casey's Red Sea S-1000

    I was really surprised how fast they settled in and started growing. Usually frags take months or even years in my tank to encrust then start growing. Should be ready to make new dbtc frags in a couple months :)

    Casey's Red Sea S-1000

    Acros have been doing well so I picked up some new higher end ones. Tried out this site called Reefnbid.com for coral auctions and won some from Pieces of The Ocean at a fraction of their highly absurd retail prices. Pretty happy with the frag sizes and the fact that they're encrusted ... unlike...

    Hello Everyone, brand new to BAR,

    Welcome! A long time ago I was also a reefer at SJSU and knew a couple others. Hah I remember what it was like to do major budget reefing and DIYing everything. If you save $30 that you'd spend on coral and come to one of the club's member coral swaps, i promise you'll get way more from the...

    UV Sterilizer - How to connect a pump with the sterilizer?

    I use the 55w 3" body model. It's pretty big Sleeve $5-15, change every 1 to maybe 3 years. Bulb $70, change every year. Uses an amalgam which is supposedly better than regular fluorescent. My stance is that cheap is fine for temporary use. I run mine 24/7 so opted for something better.

    UV Sterilizer - How to connect a pump with the sterilizer?

    Just replaced the bulb and sleeves on my Lifeguard Pro-Max unit today. One of the reasons why I choose this model is the beefiness and ability to replace the PVC liner. Now I see why. After two years the liner has gone from 1.75mm to 1.2mm and feels a whole lot more brittle. With cheap plastic...
