    Calling All AI Vega Users

    I actually just reversed the settings so that i do have more blue than white and have seen at least two or 3 react positively. My Blasto is looking plumper and two SPS's seem so show better extension.

    Calling All AI Vega Users

    Since these have been out for almost 6 months I was wondering how everyone has theirs set up. I was brand new to reefing when I set my tank up in Sept so didn't have any experience with lighting. Wanting to get mine set for maximum benefit. My tank is 72long x 21deep x 27wide. I've got 3...

    Why is it

    Everything off for me. after about 5 min I'll turn the powerheads on and put them in feeding mode to stir up anything the CUC hasn't found on the bottom. about 5 min later the sump goes back on.

    Cycling a tank, adding fish and corals

    ...but be prepared...with mine the entire house ended up smelling like dead fish after it was in for a couple of days.

    the powder blue is doing good. within an hour of putting him in the tank that first day he showed everyone he was boss. no one else bothers him at all.

    Sun Coral

    I just picked one up yesterday. how often are you feeding and what are you feeding? I've read anywhere from every 3 to 5 days.

    On 21st buying a camera, which one?

    Several weeks ago I bought the T3i along with the EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. I love it. Pretty easy to learn how to use. I just received the Canon EOS Rebel T3i/600D for Dummies book to learn more about all the functions. It took me a dozen or so shots to get the setting right. Here's a...

    live rock set up for reef tank

    I did almost like a volcano shape on either side where I can see through from the back side. This way I can add corals all the way around and the fish can pretty much swim a figure 8 around the tank. In the center it's more of a stair step going up against the overflow. +1 on making sure you...
