I can confirm that he's still alive.

Just wanted to give a quick update. I'm very lucky that my tank is in decent shape considering how little effort I've had to put in maintaining it. At one point I was barely cleaning the glass with a magnet cleaner. My excuse is that in the few years that I've had the tank, my wife and I have...

Hey Kevdub, Sorry for the late reply. The DAS EX-3 was a beast of a skimmer, but was too loud (with three aquabees) and consumed too much power. The vortechs were just too loud, but they were great flow. If they were as quiet as Tunze, I'd still be using them. After swapping skimmer and to...

Great news! Looking forward to being a customer.

:twisted:

WOAH... nice arcuatus. I've heard that to keep that fish long term you need to maintain your tank at low temperatures, like 72F. If you don't mind me asking, how much are those fish running these days? Is it picking on your corals? Time for a chiller. :)

A glamour shot of my new skimmer. ;) The build quality of this skimmer is pure SEX.

I had a minor plumbing accident with my overflow which was directly feeding my skimmer. Decided on a more simple setup, so I'll be changing over to an in-sump skimmer. Christmas came early so I also have a new Tunze setup. :D

Wow great writeup! Someone should sticky this.

What do you guys use to feed your corals and dip them in before putting in your tanks? Thanks!

The difference in color between the two bulbs in greater in person than the pics suggest. (The pics look almost identical to me) Strangely, I couldn't tell the difference in brightness between the 400w reeflux and the 250w radiums. I was previous running old-style Icecap 400w e-ballast and...

To get my corals to grow faster, I'm going to try: Bumping up my water change schedule from 20% / month to 40% / month Adding T5 actinic supplementation Feeding corals Maybe throwing in a couple more powerheads (koralia or tunze)

My wife and I just had our first born daughter, so that's part of the reason for the lack of updates. Here are a couple quick pics taken with 400w 12k reeflux and 250w 20k radiums. The output and color is surprisingly similar although I definitely prefer the radiums. Besides being a tad...

Looking very clean. It's gonna look great once everything grows out. You made me realize I need less rock. Also, just to let everyone know, I found Len his crazy scolymia. :D I noticed you positioned your vortechs in the center of the side walls instead of near the back wall. I think...
