Hey are you going to go with one of those glassless tanks? :D

hagakure, the first one is a pretty good example. It's a little sparse on the acros. :)

Tony,

Last I heard, ricordia goes for a fortune down there.

Angel, demand for Aussie corals has slowed down a bit here. Still, Australia produces the nicest looking specimens of LPS on the...

You got it man.

BTW, I found a clownfish that will work with your tank. Amphiprion bicinctus is found in the Red Sea.

Marky Mark,

I wish I could go bare bottom, but I can't. Being that my tank is a cube, the open space between the rock work, islands and bridges creates the most visual impact. I tried gravels...

Favorite all time SPS? For me it's the Green Slimer. No acro tank is complete without one.

Yeah, like Creetin says, get the ER if you need a skimmer now.

Re: Are these increases warranted?

Yeah, but gun magazines can't die or RTN while sitting on the shelves, nor do they need to be fed or require HO lighting. :)

Next time your at your buddy's shop, ask to see his energy bill.

Bump for you. I have the Jetstream 1 on my 240, and it's doing well. Do you really think the JS2 wasn't overkill? :)

BTW, shoot me your Paypal addy.

Doing well. I'm fighting a bout of fish malaise, but I seem to be over the hump. No kidding. I've been super busy this season. I'm switching jobs. How fun is that?

Tom,

I had two for a number of years until the GFI popped last year (tank transitions are BAD). They are VERY passive compared to other anthias.

They attack food more than they attack each...

Yeah, you're better off venting your tank to the outside. Since you live in Phoenix, you should have no problem doing that, except during the monsoon season.

Dehumidifiers are energy hogs BTW.

Barry,

Get the Deltec if it fits in the budget. It's easier to deal with on a day to day basis. Besides, the Phosban reactor can leak leading to a big disaster. I used to have one and it did...

They're one of the best MH/T5 fixtures in regards to performance and build. They're built in the USA (I think they still are). They're better than all of the Chinese manfactured fixtures.

I have a FR 509, and I like it. I feed mine by splicing off the return pump.

I think any small power head (like a Maxi-jet) would do. The flow requirement is quite low.
