Thank you so much for all the comments guys. With the ich under control, now the fish have been very happy and the next step is to keep fighting the nuisance algae. Tomorrow I'll be picking up some Mexican Turbo Snails, and I have my eyes opened for a bristle tooth tang if I can find a nice...

Just some info about the Elegance Coral... They are beautiful corals and this is a real shame, but I have found that it is not the coral to blame! It is in fact the industry itself to be to problem. A few years ago, this used to be among the hardiest of the corals to keep in captivity...

That powder blue tang is my favorite and I'm glad he joined the algae control troop. ;-) Is he recovering fine from the ich? I haven't added any new LR pieces in three months now, but at first I introduced 115 lb. of cured Caribbean live rock and let it cycle for a month before...

Thank God the ich problem is under control now. Every few days the blue tang appears with one or two spots, but it's far from the epidemic stage now. ;-) My phosphates are reading 0.03 and the reactors seem to be helping a lot. The tangs also seem to really do a good job helping to keep the...

Thanks for all the comments guys. ;-) I gotta an Orange Short Tentacle Plate Coral this weekend. Here are some shots I took from the tank today.

Good job with the tank Cris, It's coming along nicely! :thumbup: The hydor flow gives you a different type of water stream, it is open to a fuller extent so it doesn't feel like the same amount of water is coming out. You are probably pretty close to the max flow rate the MJ900 out puts...

Skipm, I'm not sure it's on the regular Discovery channel, but here is the link where I found the info. http://dhd.discovery.com/schedule/upcom ... oming.html It should be a cool show to watch.

Planet's Best Aquariums on Discovery HD Saturday, Feb. 25, 8 p.m. ET/PT Enjoy. ;-)

I love mine and certainly recommend this product. I wish I had made the investment earlier while I still had my cube. It’s one less thing to worry about, and since I'm usually not home on the weekends and the ATO is just a live saver. It works flawless and keeps my salinity and sump level...

Ohhhhhh my GOD. What a shame Pirates Reef. What a stunning reef tank you had there. I am glad you didn't give up and continue to be involved in the beautiful world of reef keeping, with new projects in mind. I went through an 11 day power outage after Hurricane Wilma last year, and...

Ed, It was a lot of fun taking the time to create this graphic, but the main reason for the chart, is to make my life a little easier when I need to plug, unplug, and configure devices. There is just too many plugs and wires, and this way I can quickly visualize and identity, which channel...

Jesse, I love how you've been carefully putting so much thought into this project, and all I can say it's one of the nicest and most efficient setups I've ever seen. Keep up the good work man, this tanks is just too sweet.

Sweet, With this large unit you probably won't have to cook those beads so often, and fits perfectly over your sump.

Thanks a lot for all the comments guys. I'll post some shots of the fitration's monthly progression as soon I get a chance. For now I created a chart with the current configuration of the tank's equipment... EQUIPMENT - AGA 75 Gallon Pre-Drilled - Current USA Nova Extreme 8x54W...

Ohhhhhhh man, that really sucks Leecrosby. Beautiful freshwater-planted tank you had there. :anxious I went through a 11 day power outage after Hurricane Wilma last year, and luckily I still had only a 24 gallon tank, so the battery air pumps and dailly water changes were able to keep the...

What a nice professional job PiratesReef. I love your tank with all these holes for a well distributed water flow. Good luck finalizing the project, it's coming along very nicely, and thx for sharing, these great shots.

I've been saving to get one these cameras for a while, but my reef tank keeps emptying my pockets. :mrgreen: You couldn't have picked a better lens for the job Dickie. P.S. You might have read this review already and I don't want to get off the topic, but if you haven't, here is an...

Thanks for the detailed explanation Mike. It made things a lot more clear, as I had very limited knowledge about ORP.

I decided to start a photo log of my tank, so I can compare it's evolution through out the months, and have a photographic reference of how the fish, corals and the overall environment have been progressing on the monthly basis. Just with the last two shots I can already see that my blue...

These shots are just UNBELIVABLE Dickie! Gorgeous corals and one of nicest photo shoots I've seen so far from reef tanks. Congratulation, this is just brilliant!!!!!!!! P.S. What type of camera are you using?
