The marine bettas are in the same family as groupers and they are hunters. we got him so small and we heard that they are hit or miss about how agressive they are. it took him a long time to warm up to us, but once he got used to the tank after coming out of QT he comes out in the front of the...

Yeah, it is that big. i was origionally looking at the skimmer that is one size smaller than this one from warner and it was going to be a little overkill. well, then this one was a demo model and they were wanting to clear out the warehouse so they were selling a few of them for very cheap. i...

And now the live stock updates...in no particular order. Here is the Marine Betta next to out leather and above our clam Just the clam. as pretty as this picture looks it really doesn't do any justice to the clam Here's a piture from the right side of the tank. the occelaris clown and royal...

Update, Update, Update, as promised for oh so long, more pictures. We'll start with an equipment update. Here is the new skimmer, it's a warner marine R-200. it was really loud at first but has quieted down alot. Close up for those interested This is the only decent picture i can get with...

i you can't find them anywhere locally, www.savko.com specializes in aquarium plumbing supplies.

Oh, and we did just a very little bit of re-aquascaping. moved a couple of rocks (maybe 10 lbs) to the nano.

Well, a little update for everybody that's keeping score. we traded the koralias for one vortech MP40W and the flow from this thing is AWESOME. it's so strong that there is a visible undertow in the tank, we love it. the new skimmer is supposed to get here today so i'm going to try to get some...

That piece of rock is bigger than it looks even. it was one of our 28 pounders. that point touching the substrait goes back into the rock work. that piece is about 13-15 inches long and makes a "T" about 6 or 8 inches wide. we got alot of great rock, if you're even up in ohio, from a local coral...

well, i thought i finally better update this thing. we've rearranged some stuff since the last set of pictures. the only real additions have been a purple long tentacle anemone, a royal gramma, a marine betta, and a clam. i've also added a phospate reactor and upgraded to mag 7 return pump. i'll...

Thanks for all the compliments. That is weird that we would have all the same zoas, great minds do think alike though. i have a few concerns about the acro and the monti. the guy we got them from keeps all his frags in a green house so they mostly get just sun with metal halides to supliment...

Well, here are some pics. i'll get a FTS tomorrow, but i think i got pics of just about everything with all the lights and just the actinics. sorry for the lack of Descriptions, we're going to bed.

well, just a little update. we got the algea under control. we started a phosphate reactor and have been running that for about 3 weeks maybe a month and picking out the large pieces when ever we have the lights and egg crate off and the only stuff that is left of the hair algea is a real thin...

we've got a pretty big ball of cheato in our fuge so we are already rocking some macro algea. i think the reactor is our next step

we already us RO/DI water. i'm glad you mentioned the ViaAqua Poly-Reactor cause that's the one i was looking at. it's one of the cheapest i've found and i've seen good reviews on it. do you like it?

How do most of you deal with phosphates in your tanks? reactors or sponges or ? i was looking into getting ride of our algea and thought that getting rid of some of the phosphates would help alot and just wanted to know the best way to do it for my 75. thanks guys
