Right, and they are all freakin huge eyesores in the tank, power wires and all. ;) But if you want sleek low profile AND full control out of the box, Vortech is the way to go. They can also be controlled even more by hooking them up to an Apex or GHL controller, both of which have Vortech...

Hmmm… hard to say. The par from LEDs seems to be different than the traditional lighting options we are used to measuring. I can tell you that almost everybody I know runs their Radions at around 50-60% give or take. Maybe you could look at their par charts on their website and then use that as...

I understand. But the koralias give you none of the attributes i mentioned in my first sentence. The OP asked for controllability and low profile design, in which case I would still recommend Vortechs. If available funds won't allow it, then you'll have to decide which features aren't as...

I don't know what a fortnight is. haha But +1 to above... You should still do water changes. I've heard of people attempting water changes by wet skimming, but never really heard much about the results.

1. Looks like macro algae. 2. Some kind of harmless tube worm 3. Bristle worm - tank cleaner 4. Sponge - good for filtration

Here's how the texas homes are being built. This is our shower and the other side of the wall is all the laundry room plumbing.

I can attest to that! :D

No, you HAVE to use primer and cement. Just make sure you get the correct kind for the type of PVC you are using.

Yeah, that's a sponge. Good thing to have. Little natural filters.

This is exactly why all these new "innovations" in skimming technology actually hurt, not help. There hasn't been ANY improvement to skimmer in the past 20 years. The basic concept of skimming is simple and everything since then is just gimmicks to sell more skimmers than the next guy. Sorry to...

Serpent stars are reef safe and a good scavenger. No additional feeding necessary.

Congrats! Sweet shot. :cool:

7 hours and no pics yet? :eek: :D

+1 Ecotech is the only way to go for low profile appearance, no motor or cords inside the tank, wide flow, and complete control out of the box. They will also be offering further control of their Vortechs via EcoSmart Live (www.ecosmartlive.com) early this year. You will be able to run multiple...

I second the eheim suggestion. I've never run them submerged but they keep going and going and going. Look up some reviews online.

I would get in contact with Richard of Tampa Bay Saltwater. www.tbsaltwater.com He does this for a living (collecting sand, rock, critters, etc from his lease in Tampa Bay) and can give you the lowdown on collection practices, permits, etc. Some guys got busted recently for collecting illegally...

Thanks! :) And i don't know what kind of plate coral it is... just that it's a plate coral. I've had it for like 3.5 years.

You really should be using ro/di water. There is a lot more than chlorine that needs to be removed. Why are you using a ph buffer? What is your tank's ph? I usually add additives to my sump.

This basket star is a basket case. He's still going rogue all over my tank. The other two... They are where they should be... on gorgonians. Also picked up this guy yesterday... for a freakin steal! Only $60 bucks! :eek: Check out the prices on Divers Den for indonesia ultra open brains.

No one is yelling. Just stating facts and trying to help you. But in order for us to help, you need to put in some effort yourself. I'm not sure what answer you are looking for??? Like already stated, the kits are super easy and they come with easy to follow step by step instructions. But if you...
