I haven't been around here in a while. But, my T5s were over 1yr old and I noticed that my corals had stopped growing. Also, green algae was becomming a real menace. I had been using all Giesemann...

Wow, this is a blast from the past! I don't know how much energy I use on my tank. I'm sure it's too much. I still run a closed loop using an Ocean Runner 3500 and believe it or not a SCWD. The...

I need a new water polishing filter

I've had two Magnum filters. An HOB and a 350. Both worked very well for water polishing with a micron filter cartridge. However, they don't last. I like to use it to vacuum sediment off the...

I agree with you about the excess nutrients. However, that doesn't seem to be my problem. I'll stay on it until I figure it out. Also, I only have one fish which I feed once per day. I have quit...

Thanks Grim. I think I'll replace them all and get a blue plus. BTW, one thing I didn't mention earlier: The algae seems to grow on the rocks closet to the glass. The actinics are on the outside....

Time to Replace?

Hey fellas,
I've been running a TEK system for about 10-mos over a 55g. My SPS have grown quite well. However, I'm having a problem with green algae. It's the stuff that grows like a carpet. I...

Damn Green Algae!!!

The last two months, I've experienced green algae in my 55g. It grows in the lower areas and covers rocks like a blanket or skin. This system has been running since Feb, 2006.

I'm running HO T5s...

I've had a 6-line since April and he's my favorite fish. They're very active and curious fish. He swims all over the tank and weaves his way in and out of the rocks. Mine loves Nutra Fin Marine...

Thanks guys! So is PVC the preferred method of plumbing over tubing? I used black FDA approved hose on my SCWD and I like the look of the black. I think HD also has some gray PVC pipe.

OM Squirt Users...your thoughts please.

My SCWD lasted about a day before it stopped alternating sides. I'm using an Ocean Runner OR3500 which should have been w/in the specs of the SCWD.

All you need for your 55g are four HO T5s. I use four TEKs on mine and that's all that will fit. I don't overdrive either. I decided I didn't need to do that. I think it decreases the lifespan...

I run 4 TEK HO T5s over my 55g. I had two 175w MH bulbs but got rid of them in favor of T5. The T5s are plenty bright, last a lot longer and run a little cooler. NOTE, I said a little cooler. I...

I'm still having problems with leaks. I had to leave town today for business. That forced me to shut down the closed loop and SCWD and restart the powerheads:(
