    Yes, the changeover is worth it. CC traps detritus, and a cucumber won't process it as it has too many sharp edges. Better to have sand. I didn't want to change it out for a long time, and nitrates were always an issue. Finally I just bit the bullet and made the change, and later wondered why I waited so long.

    Sand! It's a much nicer look.

    I have a Oceaninc 58 Show with a Coralife Aqualight Pro setup over it. I got the whole thing for a whopping 100 bucks, including a great sump, etc off of Craig’s list. I actually felt a little bad, but the guy advertising it just wanted someone to take if off his hands as he was being deployed overseas, and did not want to just toss it. soo, i guess right place right time. I thanked him for the tank and and then espically thanked him for his service.

    Im a 40 yr old Dad of two beautiful little girls, Abby 2yrs 3 mos, and Hannah 1 year. They both LOVE the reef tank, i think a little movie about clown fish may have something to do with that, and that inspired me to set up a tank again after 5 years or so.


    I Love the reefkeeping hobby, and hope my girls enjoy the exposure to it.

Help with lighting

Hey all I need some opinions. I just replaced my coralife 150W 10,000K bulb with an XM 150 W 15,000K bulb. Now, it looks good with my 2 supplemental 65W actinic power compact bulbs, but it is VERY blue overall. I now need to replace the 65 watters and want to know opinions as to what to use. 2 10,000K bulbs? 1 10K bulb and 1 actinic? I want to put some brightness into the tank without slacking off on the actinic.

Ideas??? Thanks!!!!!

The Reffers Itch!

Am I the only one who has this infernal itch? The one that makes us cruise ebay and craigslist to see if some else’s misfortune will net us a big new tank!!!??? The one that makes us rationalize that we need new lights for the tank instead of say, new tires on the car before winter? The very same itch that makes us see space for another coral in the tank when no such space exists? You know the feeling, when you decide that 20 times water turnover is just not enough? Or that changing the timers
