Thanks for all your feedback, I figured it out. Air had gotten trapped inside the casing and wouldn't let it prime. Once I tilted the powerhead it spit out all the air it had inside, it was a lot. So now it's working like new. MG

One of my powerheads started making a grinding noise, is it time to replace the impeller? I've had them going for about 1 year without any problems; they are all plugged onto a Reefkeeper 2 which has soft start. Any feedback would be great; I don't want to tear into the tank to pul it out...

Take a look at my last FTS, how many powerheads can you find? I know easter just passed but did you find 6 eggs or should I say 6 powerheads? MG

Being patient I found some premium live rock from Great Bay Aquarium in San Lorenzo. The owner sold me some pieces he had in the back that were not for sale, talk about membership. Anyway, here are a couple of pics, stacking piece on piece until I got them to hold; I used BTI glue and...

A master piece at work; can't wait to see the work you do...

How do you know it's time to replace a DE MH bulb; I have two 150 watt 20K bulbs and have had them for over 1 year. They still fire up and my corals appear okay, does anyone have any feedback? Thanks

Anymore updates on your tank? MG

Well, That is a two part answer. Anenomes by nature do require a good amount of natural sunlight in the wild, so if your tank doesn't have the correct spectrum within, it will move in search of the correct light... It also demands a certain type of water current and will search for that...

I would talk to Jesse, he has an awesome camera for macros, I believe it has a super macro feature. The price is unbelievable as are his fotos.... I came really close to purchasing it but I'm a Canon fanatic and got a great deal on the Canon SD 800IS.... MG

I would wait it out rather than use any type of bactericide, such as Red Slime remover... These types of bacterias or algaes are nutrient based and they will literally exhaust themselves; that is they will die out on there own... I would in the meantime blow the bacteria/diatoms off the...

In an attempt to fill out my reef on my 90 tall, I purchased an additional 4 lbs of premium rock. I picked out the smallest of pieces in order to fill the top of this massive wall... I have only filled the right side of my reef since I could not find enough pieces to fill the left side of...

Opps, A newbie doesn't appreciate my hard work in documenting my reef for close to 2 years... Now if we go back on any of my pages I never mention fans; but two years later, Mr. Newbie, I have in fact made some loyal fans and critics... Hope to see your future posts on this friendly...

I hope to see your new tank under a soon to be read thread... MG

About one month ago my friend came over and noticed a small crab in my 72 gallon tank. I couldn't ID it because it ran away and I never saw it again. Now, during my move to my 90 gallon tank, I found the crab and placed him in a small container with some live rubble. I wanted to get him...

Jesse, Your statement now is much more easy for me to understand and accept. I thank you for correcting your statement and making it clear for all reefers the significance of PAR... Thanks, MG

Jesse, After reading your post closer, I realized a comment you made, that I have to clearly disagree with. Quoted "I would honestly say that I dont think SPS would receive nearly enough light anywhere in the tank that directly under either of the MH within just a couple inches from the...

Thanks, It's only been running one week... I hope it continues to mature nicely....

Here is to all to my devoted fans; I hope you like the first set of pictures to evolve on my thread... A 90 gallon bowfront is born.... P.S Jesse, Thanks for the feedback on your view on lighting, I will take all that was said objectively. Please keep in mind that these...

If I only went by what others hear, I'd say yes Jesse, I'm very concerned and should dump in more money on two 250 watt MH. But the fact is I've run this tank since August of 2005 and have learned a lot with this particular set of lights. Remember Jesse, I have two 150 watt bulbs that are...

Pictures will be in tommorrow for my fans to critique and praise... As always I try to do my best work for all to view... MG
