    No, like a lot of us have a live to lead, and sadly that some times means things have to go on the back burner for a while. But if you don't ask you don't get.

    Hey Marc, got a quick question. On my computer, when looking at the messages below and on other posts, the avatar covers up the username and the first several letters of the opening text. Is there any way to correct this, or is it just my computer?

    Hey Marc, I was looking at lighting design lately and seen on Melev's Reef the 55 gallon page where I believe you added some t5's and what looks like two MH bulbs. If I remember right they had one on each side. My question is: when you build that did you and well can you get everything you need from the building supply stores and then maybe just buy the bulbs from a maring place? I figure it would be cheaper and I can add two like you did with my PC's and I will have enough light for the corals to grow good. Let me know and if so do you have a parts list for the project you did, I did not see one on your site. Thanks in advance, Henry

    I'm going to ask the LFS I bought it from for a store credit and ask them to order me a real one.

    Hey Melev, I believe that I read on Melevs Reef that you used a skimmer like the one I have (SeaClone) and you hadd to tweak it in order to get it to work good. What did you have to do? I got it working but it doest seem to get the foam to over flow much. The foam is usually at the top of the tube, but doesn't go over much.

    Thanks for your help in this matter in advance,

    HAT

    I was just wondering, because I am curious to see what the flow looks like in your tank. Probably pretty crazy with 2 mp40's?

    Hey, do you have any videos of your tank?

    Hi Marc!

    I have a quick question about Vodka dosing: with regards to your dosing system, how long does it take for 100% the daily dosage to reach your sump? Why not pour in all at once? Thank you!

Long overdue.

by melev on 05-13-2018 at 03:19 PM
It's been a long time since I posted here on RA, mainly because my focus has been on Melev's Reef. Still, RA is dear to my heart due to all the information that has been stored here over the years, documenting my 400g build and all the discussions we had when blogging wasn't even cool yet.

The 400g is currently 4.5 years old, and doing great. Here's a recent picture.


And the Anemone Cube, which is now being lit with a Radion

Day 1247: Three years, 5 months

by melev on 04-10-2017 at 03:23 AM
If you follow my youtube channel, you've probably heard how I have to get my arms wet and really cull the 400g reef because the growth at the top is shadowing everything beneath, and those things beneath have little chance of living. I hate to have to rip out these big colonies, but there's no choice. Here are a bunch of pictures of the tank today. I've also included some images of the Anemone Cube.

Biggest thing to happen recently was an alkalinity dip. When I see some coral turn

Not what I would do

by melev on 11-06-2016 at 12:52 AM
Had a surprise guest tonight. I was working on something and he and his wife showed up at my door to visit. My tanks were all less than stellar because I haven't cleaned the glass lately, and it occurred to him that he could try using his iPhone 7 Plus to take some underwater pictures. My frag tank is low enough for an easy test. So here are three he shared.

I bought myself this bandsaw over two years ago at the Denver MACNA. It was basically a gift to myself, but I never opened the box until two weeks ago when I started fragging some corals at last. It's pretty impressive, and hence I had to make a video about it.
