Re: My 65 tub build

Two insignificant questions: 1) What islands are depicted on the chart print hanging on the wall above the canopy? and 2) What makes it a "tub", the dimensions or something I am missing? Regardless, whether you saved money or not, you did a beautiful job. I look forward to pictures when yo...

Leather help needed

My leathers, normally a pink color, now appear bleached out. They still polyp and otherwise act normal. The water isn't different, same flow and additives, etc. Has anyone seen this and have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Larry

Equipment

I'm looking for a skimmer if you have one to sell. Are you planning to list the stuff you are getting rid of?

Aiptasia

Absolutely overrun with small greenish anemone looking creatures, I think they might be aiptasia (sp). They are killing everything else. Any advice will be appreciated.

Quiet One

You will get a lot of different opinions on this. Reef Central recently did a review on the 4000. I use a 3000 for return on my 75, I wish I had bought the 4000.

Mine is quite and trouble free.

Chocolate Chips

I've been looking at these lately at both LFS. Are they any problem to keep? Bother corals or bulldoze, etc.?

Party

When we were younger "reefer" had a different meaning.

Seriously, we aren't hung up on the age thing, just going for bragging rights!

I had decided that I was the old guy at 54. Are you older?

RODI

There is a Kent Marine unit for sale in the Buy/Sale/Trade thread.

I saw the great deal on filter cartridges listed for Sam's. Since I am not a member does anyone have a recommendation for another source?

Do y'all get refills off Ebay?

Thanks,

Fluval 404

I use a Fluval 404 to "polish" my water. I run it most but not all of the time in addition to my sump, etc. As others have said, you can put a lot of carbon in or you can put different pore size filter media, etc. in to get a "clearer" water. Cleaning about once per month is pret...
