If anyone is still trying to decide whether to go to Rockford Frag Fest. There is a few updates to the Rockford Reefers web site you might want to take a look at. If the $10,000 (NOT a typo) of raffle items isn't enough, then the Grand Prize Raffle item just might put you over the "edge"

If you havent checked out the website lately for the updates you should. It keeps getting better and better. If your withing driving distance of northern illinois then you have to check this out!!!!

I usually carefully seperate the zoos from the rock with a small knife so they are in tact in one piece. Then rubberband them to a rock for a week or 2 and they will attach to the new rock.

The WON titanium heaters have a reputation for getting stuck on or stop working. I have a WON 500W titanium heater and it stopped heating after a few months. It did an awesome job of heating while it worked. The tank temp stayed rock solid. I had it on a 120 gallon with another 40 gallons or...

You can do water changes to lower your alk also. Are you dosing you tank with any supplements?

Chronicles Where did you get the mexican turbos?

I dont know if its right or wrong but heres what I do and it works for me. I put a heaping spoonful of kalk powder in a cup. Then I add just enough vinegar so that I can disolve the powder. Then I stir it up with a spoon. I then fill my 1 gallon water jug (thats how much evap I get per day...

I would stay with the 75gal. If you are planning on keeping Soft corals then you will be OK with the 90. What corals do you plan to keep?

I use my reefpure RO/DI on my standard household pressure. It will work. You just wont get the rated output. I get about 25 GPD. I use the tornado model.

newreefman1: Where do you get the fighting conchs? Also where is a good place to get snails on-line?

Walks, For my 55, I use the drip type that esmithiii mentioned in his post. I get 1 to 1.5 gallons evap per day. If you dose Kalkwasser, it just makes most sense to replace evap with your kalk dripper. A remedy for the clogging of the dripper is to spike your kalk with vinegar. You can find a...

I think the general consensus in the nano world is that a DSB will not work properly in a nano. You're probably better off with an inch or so of sand and weekly water changes. If you want a DSB you would probably be better off having the DSB in a sump and having your main tank with a smaller...

My 5.5 gallon nano tank is all set up now and I just added it to my web page. I will be adding a some corals in a few more weeks.

I recommend the Ebo Jager. They hold the temperature very consistent and have been time tested.

I like fishfarmer, with my MH's also have my reflectors mounted about 1/4 inches from the top of my hood using stainless steel washers as spacers. Without the spacers and reflecors the top gets very hot. With them in place it is hardly even warm. I think adding a reflecor mounted so it is...
