I like this forum.  You guys have been very helpful and keep it interesting.
I just got my Outer Orbit lighting system by CurrentUSA.  Awesome light by
the way.  Anyway I've read a few opinions on timing the lights and wanted to

chocolate-chip star. Basically the main body is intact, but the

I have used PC fixture I was given. The brand name is "Top". It came with 2
55w lamps. The fixture is pretty beatup, but works fine. I am thinking of

So, my wife brings home this lovely all-glass corner tank, and she
fills it with saltwater,  hooks up a protein skimmer, plops in some
pieces of reef rock and three fish.  I come home from work, and Bam,
now I am a beginner reefer.  Many years ago, though,  I had extensive

So I've got a standard reef tank, LR/LS & skimmer.  Partitioned off a section
and put some seahorses in there.  Everything seems fine.
But of course, like most reef tanks, I've got constant low-level trouble with
bubble algae (valonia), aiptasia anemones, etc.

As you can all see by the last post: $400+ dollars for dead rock.
I'm having a dilemma right now.  My tank is looking pretty sweet right now.
