I still consider it even years after FW. Can't decide wether or not I wanna do it. Still haven't done it though. What media's were you running in what cannister?

I had a Fluval 305, with the multiple spots for media so I was running a water polishing pad, Biomax (basically ceramic bio media) and carbon. It was nice to have my water clear up so quick after a wc but overall I am glad its gone.

Got it...Thanks tertansin2

Definately a stand up guy. He gave me a great deal on a T5 fixture I probably wouldn't have been able to afford any other way. He also gave me some free Zoos for making the drive.

I definately agree. I spend a good deal of my free time there. It is a great place, great stock and great prices.

I had just fed the fish so apparently it had receded into the rock.After I read twogirls reply I went & checked & sure enough it's back.What's best to kill it? I've read if you get peppermint shrimp then you have to feed them when the Aptasia's gone.Won't that just add to my bio load?(29 gal cube)

a couple of peppermint shrimp should't mess up your bioload. They will eat whatever you normally feed your fish.

Ya, I think I will hold off at this point. I seem to have gotten it under control the old fashion way with a couple of water changes and by removing that canister filter (Nitrate farm).

What size tank do you have? and whats the fish ratio to corals and what if any skimmer are you running? there alot of varibles before I'd start dosing a experimental cure.

Thanks for the summary. I got to about page 5 and started getting bored. (laugh) Same arguments back and forth. I think I will let my tank settle, after removing the canister filter and maybe give this a try.

I am just looking to upgrade from the PC lighting I currently have, I am interested in a 6 or 8 x54 watt T5 fixture or something comparable. I don't have a ton of cash to spend but I thought maybe someone had something sitting in the garage they wanted to get rid of at an affordable price.

Thank you. I will check that out. I have been hearing a lot about it lately but didn't have the details.

I finally got tired of battling nitrates and got rid of my canister filter. Disconnected it tonight. I figure with the live rock the sump and the fug. I should have plenty of natural filtration. First time I have had a tank set up without a canister so I am a little nervous but we will see how it goes. (scary)

Here is a couple of my favorites. I just picked up a couple more. When my wife comes home with her fancy camera I will take some pics..Those Aquas looked really cool.

Well here is a couple of pics. This is just after plumbing in the fug so the water is pretty cloudy from the sand. I have added a lot of rock and other things since so I will post some updates when the wife gets back from out of town.

Wow, with all those cool looking zoos I could do my whole reef in them alone.

Welcome to the website!

 

Now make with the pictures! We want some details of your new setup!!!!

LOL...My wife is the photographer. I will have her get to work this evening (laugh)

You might check out one of these. I am pretty sure you could get a faucet adapter. I just got mine and so far so good. I have heard pretty good things about them. 123.00 including shipping.

Hey all, I thought I would introduce myself. I am not completely new to the hobby, I had a really nice 55 Gallon reef set up for about 5 years. A move forced me to part with it but now I have a brand new 55 set up, thanks in part to Bob and Dave at Davey Jones Locker, which is now becoming my second home...lol. Anyway looks like a great board you all have set up here and I look forward to chatting with everyone.
