I don't think skimmer affect Zoas, you gotta run your skimmer that's the most important equipment.

I had one but didn't like it, you can get accurate reading by using an API Alk test kit much easier to operate. I really like the Hanna Phosphate Pocket Checker it definitely works!

You can get in at the Wet Spot, and Sea Horse although it's not hard to grow your own. All you need is the Brine Shrimp kit, a cheap pump, and regular florescence light.

It depends on the circumstances of your tank jonas. If your tank is stable and nitrate seems a little too high do a 20% water change. If all elements are totally out of parameters then you may have to do alot more.

Take a road trip down R-3 Spring break is almost here! "fun in the sun"

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

Usually people put decent sizes live rocks in their sump, crushed corals is ok but make sure it doesn't shoot up your Nitrate. Also small crushed corals can get suck in by a return pump.

Ecoxotic is releasing a 100W Canon - supposed to be shipping next week. Mount 15-19" above tank gives a spread of 24" x 36" - $499 and you can light that whole 40b with a single fixture.

Those LED lights are awesome, but still pretty spendy!

I recommend going to Sea Horse Aquarium and ask Woody he would know "his shop name is Sea Horse"

uggg' date=' that sucks! moving 1 tank would be difficult enough let alone that many![/quote']

 

Moving one tank is hard enough, all tanks that's alot of work "make sure to eat your Wheaties with Red Bull".

I am considering this for my 187 that is getting built. Anyone have experience with this brand or know of good or bad reviews? http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/products/protein-skimmers/bubble-magus-protein-skimmer/bubble-magus-bm-180-cscone-protein-skimmer.html

Bubble Magnus are ok they're made and construct in China. The pumps are ok but if you want to make it work great modify it with Sicce Pumps.

The doors leading to my basement are kinda small so with the width of the tank I have to build the stand into the basement' date=' or build something that can be bolted together.[/quote']

 

You may want to contact wannareef on this matter. I know for sure it will be done.

If your not watching this on tv they just showed the most depressing live video of the tsunami coming inland in Japan. Looks like a lot of people are going to be injured or dead.

I feel so sad for those people over there, i just donated $100 to the earthquake relief. It may not be much but better then nothing!

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

Wow that's a good deal for this beast! If i have a 6,000 sq foot house i will jump on this or maybe swim in it. j/k

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

No I haven't but I have been researching the possibilities of using it. Do you use it? The only this is I would need another test kit. Which brand of potassium one do you use? (Zeovit one) What test kit? (I don't think there are to many options' date=' i've only seen one) Thanks Harold[/quote']

 

Yes i use it for my 100gal tank, sps will color up good! This is the brand i recommend Harold B Elos Professional Aqua Test Kit - Potassium.

Your livestock looks healthy and blooming good work!

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

Definitely i would go with the Octopus skimmer with Bubble Blaster pump! That's what i use on all my systems.

Clown trigger are very nice but never reef safe. You may want to look into crosshatch, blue jar, or pink tail trigger for reef safe.

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

Having a custom build rock wall is awesome, lots of room to attach sps corals. You should contact wannareef, he custom built his rock wall on his tank.

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

I would recommend contacting wannareef on the board about this matter.

Vin "Keep On Reefing"

Sps are looking good Harold B, everything seems to color up good. Have you try adding Potassium to your tank? Sps will color up even more!

I can't wait for Thor, this movie will be awesome! Although my anticipation would have to be Transformers 3 "Dark of the Moon"
