I have the same question. I think I am going with the 250s. My big decision is SE or DE. I am leaning for DE but not convinced enough yet to pull the trigger. How about you DE or SE?

I would like to get LA III DE mini reflectors, and that alone would make it a tight fit in my 90G AGA hood. I have read a lot of good things about the Coralvue Reeflux bulbs, even though the...

Mine picks at them during the day, but no major damage after 2 years. That said, say goodbye to any polyp that hasn't learned to stay hidden during the day. Only PE at night or deep within acros...

I am using 100 mg of tablet, the large dog one which is around 975 mg, in 5 gallons for 12 hours. Then a Lugol dip, rinse and in the main tank they go.

I had a 4 inch + cleaner shrimp which I could not get out before I treated. It was dead within 30 minutes. The other 3 shrimps died faster than that. Just check your acros to see if it worked. I...

Not ready for pictures yet. It's embarassing compared to the tanks featured here. Need a couple of years. I bought a GEO 612 and am happy with it. Set up was a snap and it is built like a tank. ...

No salt mix has Ca at that level. Stop adding what you are adding for a day. At 100G, Ca will drop 20 ppm per day at a minimum.

Okay, Bertoni is right, read the article. DO NOT add any Cheato in the main tank. If you have a 150G refugium I am sure you have that in there. Your problem is elsewhere. Need more info.

JetCat nailed it. What were you thinking injecting 20 ml HCl in a 29G tank. You know what, I dont feel like doing the math but I am sure the pH dropped under 5.
