LED aren't expensive, you've been lied to =]

Posted 04/07/2010 at 06:02 PM by Mmckibben

hi, so we all know that the half decant led fixtures go for around $400-$600, we also Know that they cover only 12 to 18 inches. Who would buy such an expensive thing! Well, problem solved. This website sells pre wired led kits for $20 that include 4 cree xpg cool white leds, and 3 cree xpg royal blue leds. The best part is they only cost $22 each! Buy 4 of theses, and you have the same amount of light out put as the popular Aqua illuminmation system thats goes for $450! Once you gat a driver, you...

Help now!!!!!!!!!!

Posted 03/26/2010 at 12:12 AM by Mmckibben

Posted 02/11/2010 at 06:19 PM by Mmckibben

I treated the tank with a reef safe medication, and did the copper treatment on each fish. That did nothing! It's now been a month since the last on died, and these weird swimming worms have appeared. They look like bristle worms with little heads and four eyes. They only come out at night in groups of 4 or...

Sand Questions

Posted 12/01/2009 at 04:33 PM by Mmckibben

Hi, I heard that in reef tanks you should have your sand blowing around enough so that it slowly forms hills and valleys that change all the time. I have 4 in of very fine sand mixed with crushed coral sand. I can't seem to get it to move around right. It either just moves around in one spot until all you see is glass, or it doesn't move at all. All I have are three 300 gph pumps (one is hooked up to a SCWD). I do plan to get a Vortech mp-10 for my sps corals. I just want to know how your get the...
