Skipm, It's calibrated factory and doesn't need calibration. Consistency is what I'm after and that only happens after you get the ORP going. That takes about 2 weeks, and I'm there. MG

Last night before going to bed I check the ORP and it was at 404 and climbing... So this morning I wake up to check out the ORP and it's at 425. I feed flakes and small pellets and my ORP drops to 409... This is two days straight that my tank hits 425 and holds it there all night and...

Rmanecke, The lights rest on a pair of legs that came with the fixture. If I were to guess, I'd say they rest six inches off the glass. Feel free to chime in whenever, and I'll post back. By the way, I've seen your thread and I'm already impressed with what you are putting together...

DJ, To the best of my knowledge, chris never developed the ICA for the 6 gallon tank. He had the peltzier but not the correct heatsink to fit the mold, so he never even got a prototype out. Now this was almost a year ago, and he might have it ready on the website. Having said that, I...

Very nice, love how clean your setup is....

Andre, I do have frozen mysis and formula two in my frig but it's old and I haven't fed my fish any for about 1 month. I keep to formula two flakes the green ones and small sinking pellets, they love it. I do have kent marines zoo plankton and phytomax but I haven't fed since getting...

Ozone users, Watching my tank last night creep up to 412 mv, I stayed around for just a bit longer before going to bed. I saw it reach 424 mv then I called it a night. This morning I wake up wondering where my I might be at? I open the cabinet door and see my ORP at 425 mv. I was...

Small update... About 12:43 am my ORP is at 412 mv. If I feed phyto or flakes it drops immediately about 10 to 20 mv. Here is the pic:

Well, It's time to report in to my ozone fans; I'm proud to say that my ozone has gotten to 408 mv with ozone. My controller shuts it off about 390 and then it cruises to the 400+ range and stays there all night and into the morning. My tank is becomming more stable with each passing...

Have all of you here forgot about the Guru of the modded 12 gallon nano cube where the coined phrase Mike Guerrero signature series started??? DJ, I owned not one but two 12 gallon modded cubes both with the Integrated Chiller assist when he first launched it. I ran the ICA during one of...

Wow, This makes Dr. Octopus from the Spiderman comics look like a child. Look at all those arms !!! Amazing..... I can hardly wait to see it in action.... Mike G

Just make sure you QT the fish.... A lot of sick fish come from Petco..... MG

Roodee, You need a third tank mate that will difuse the fighting. Believe me, when ever the third tank mate arrives the fighting can stop. My six line was a menace in my 12 gallon, would chase nemo here and there and bother him. I then fell in love with the orchid dottyback from the...

Oh oooh, Too late, I got home with my open brain and found the nicest spot all the way at the top of my reef, in between both metal halides, it's diffused lighting in the middle. I would angle and re angle the coral and there was just no way to place him there without one side touching the...

Jesse, I just purchased today a really nice red open brain. I noticed you placed yours up on the rocks, I asked my LFS where they prefer, he says the sand bed. Do you disagree? I want him on my rocks not my sand bed; and I was happy when I saw your picture of him on the top... Mike

I just got off the phone with Marine Depot and learned that the only ozone safe check valve is made by Azoo and they carry it, here is the link: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem. ... uct=AZ0031 Check valves from Hagen and Tetra are not, I repeat are not ozone safe and will place your...

Andre, Like I said before, we think a like and maybe it's because we have the same size tanks... Anyway, the snails lay these oval shaped eggs every where, on glass on live rock on my coco worms tube.... Then in about two weeks I see these really really small snails everywhere, the size...

Lgreen, This will be on my hyperlink attachment for the newbie and veterans... It covers a wealth of info most commonly asked... Thanks, MG

Okay, That makes sense with the edition of new live rock. I didn't know you had added some new pieces. Always try to get ultra cured premium live rock for those last new pieces. As you are doing the finishing touches you want the best rocks as they are the most seen pieces. My six...

Wow, The ich is really gone, that blue tang looks super healthy as do your other fish... How is your phosphates? Has your reactor caught up yet? Mike G
