Thank you all for your help. My girlfriend and I decided to park where we stayed last time ( journal square) and take the train in. It was easy and free.

I have a Radion and if it were'nt for the cost of electricity I would sell it for 20 bucks and put my MH Radium back in.

I will be coming down I-87, and once near the city I think a good choice is I-95 into New Jersey followed by the 278 over towards Manahattan....Is this a good choice?

Hi, I'm coming back for a visit to your amazing city, and this time I will stay in China town just off the Manhattan bridge. I will be coming down from the north on a saturday just after noon. Could anyone give me advice or tips on the easyiest way to get into china town driving ( bridge...

Hi, I've been fooling with my programs for 3 months and I can't understand why, if at 100% all channels PAR is good, but not mind blowing.....Why are so many using it at 40-70% ? That said, about half my sps and all my corraline start to bleach above 70% intensity. Whats yours at?

The thing is, according to the 2-part dosing system of Randy Holmes-Farley (I respect this person and his insights into reef chemistry very much) I should dose the Ca and Alk of his 2-part recipe equally and when the gallon jugs are empty add the Mg part. With my current situation I will have...

ya I know about the rubber issues, I found a thread on a forum that someone had researched about rubber and plastic in our systems, it would seem that HDPE is pretty much as safe as acrylic, and most other types of plastic are fine unless heated. I tried to post pics but it seems like I can't...

Good morning, I will post details of my new project because when I have seen other threads of this sort, it has been useful for innovative ideas. I have been reefing for about 20 years and for this tank I am using all my experiences to help me design a stable tank that does'nt make the living...

Hello, I had the tunze osmolator and it was ok, except the little pump was too loud for a quiet room and when calcium built up on the sensor it would malfunction. Is there a quieter and more reliable top-off than the osmolator? thanks

Hi, about 6 years back I had PFO magnetic ballasts, now I am buying a whole new set up and the only ballasts for MH available in my area are coralvue 250watt electronic or sunlight supply galaxy 250watt. I have read these ballasts can interfere with the TV. If this is the case is there a way to...

I'm debating on a bulb for the sps tank I' m setting up, IME the xm 10k with vho actinics gave me the best results both asthetically and for growth. But I only want 1 bulb over my new cube, I was thinking a hamilton 14k. What are your suggestions?
