those are some cool pictures! thanks for posting them!

basically.. sps sometimes regains its color after a while but who knows how long that will take.. i've seen some really nice pieces gain their color back.. you're basically taking your chances and hoping everything turns nice.

what an odd place to live.. the overflow.. does he swim into it everytime you place him into the main tank? does he ever take a swim down into the sump? This is really interesting.. i would definitly like to hear more about this little fella.. thanks!

Wombat, it's funny you asked me about tropical paradise, because eddie actually helped me make it. I guess what I also have is a carlson device. The problem with my overflow is it just isn't large enough to handle large amounts of water. there two little tanks have huge overflows.

I made a surge using a rectangular sea-salt 5 g bucket. I used a 1 1/2" bulkhead at the bottom. It was really simple to make. The PVC 80 inside was 1" and in an upside-down U shape. I used a maxijet 1200 to pump water from my 60g main tank into the surge. I had to take out the Durso...

I've also always wondered about closed loops.. so you would use an external pump to run the closed loop?

I have had 2 tigers. The first one I had was maybe 2-3". I thought he died and so I bought a new one. I found him a few weeks later hiding in the LR crevices. I traded him in after that. I also have a 10" cuke and after going on vacation then moving my tank, I never saw him again. I'm...

I just moved my tank from a 40 to a 60 and transferred all my LS. What you can do if the sand bed does get all stirred up and the water gets cloudy is you can take a fluval or some sort of canister filter and hook it up to the tank. My fluval 403 cleared up the water in like 2 hours. I hope...

I just upgraded to a 60 gallon with a built-in overflow. It's current set up is taht the overflow empties into a 20 gallon tank, which I am currently transforming into a refugium. I'm using a Sedra 500 to pump the water from the 20 back into the main tank. The problem I'm having is that the...

Man I can't believe this Dave guy. I hope he gets arrested. It's people like him who turn people off e-commerce. I'm probably going to try aquaticreef systems after I get my money back. The only bad thing is that Dave was sure damn cheap. Oh well, that must have been the catch. Thanks...

I had four green chromis and now two. They seem to not eat the pods at all. Their numbers are crazy at night and they can be seen all over my 40 gallon tank. So this is my observation. I know the green chromis will eat at any time. Because when I feed some of my corals at night they'll come...

So now that I have been ripped off by Dave. Where should I get a good RO/DI unit. IF all the filters are made by the same 3 companies, then a Kent and a no name wouldn't be much different, except with the Kent costing 3 times more. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yeah I saw that his webpage wasn't there anymore. Luckily my credit card let me dispute it and take it off my account. I can't believe he did that. It's rediculous.

I bought a Tornado 4 Stage 100 GPD RO/DI unit from them and have not received it yet. I also bought a 40 gallon storage tank with float switch. When I ordered them, I thought I had found the greatest place. It was so cheap. Everything was supposed to come out with shipping for around $300...

I was going to be in town that weekend and was wondering if you had to be a member to go and listen to his talk. Thank you.
