Guest 24 Name: John Calendine From: Punta Gorda Fl Comments: Would like to know about protein skimmers and chillers.
. What specifically do you want to know? P skimmers
& chillers is a large and general topic. Thanks for stopping by and
If you write back I will do what I can to give you some answers. Type of tank: 260 gal. Reef Tank Guest 23 Name: John Sousa From: Morris Plains NJ Comments: I was really interested in adding yet another tank to
my series. This time I want set up a mini-reef (almost micro-reef, probably
about 30 -55 gallons.) But I really have never attempted this before and
I am scared to take the plunge. Type of tank: 2 African cichlid tanks(1 Malawi,1 Tanganyika) Guest 22 Name: Tom Riley From: Tulsa OK Comments: Great Photographs of your system. I am envious. Type of tank: 45 gallon flat back hex/ reef Guest 21 Name: Thomas Lukas From: Sumner Wa Comments: I am curious about any maintenance problems associated
with live sand. IMO any substrate should be cleaned/vacummed
to remove accumulated debris. Getting behind & under the live rock
can be difficult and a nuisance. I prefer to use the berlin method. Sand
stirrers ie:starfish crabs gobies don't work that well for a long term
setup Of course it can be done however, IMO live sand is to provide adequate
filtration nitrification & denitrification which will occur with using
the proper amount of liverock 1.5 to 1.75 lbper gal. On the other hand
if you prefer to use less rock you can make up for the lb per gall with
the sand but it should be cleaned. It is easier to clean maintain rock
than sand.If you need more specific info mail me Type of tank: 100 Gal Reef Guest 20

- 20 - From: Richard Durso 5/20/97 Yes.I have a reef. From: Wappingers Falls, NY USA Comments:Hiya Robert, Thanks for the E-mail exchanges. My
wannabe reef is 55US Gallons (about 50 actual gallons), 40lbs of Fiji live
rock. Tank is still in cycle, holding off on water changes until tank cycles.
Temp constant at 78, SG: 1.023, Am: 0.25, Ni: 2 or 3, Na: 50+ Plan on another
40lbs or so of live rock, and a skimmer. (Damn tough to decide on a make
& model). Next thing to add are some hermit crabs and snails to take
care of the damn algae! (and a little scrub, scrub, scrub..) Guest 9 From: Richard Adams 5-10-97 Yes I have a reef. From: Toronto Canada Comments:Wow !!! Finally a book that explains it all... in very

do a reef aquarium this will be my first stop. Very nice... Guest 3 From: Molly Evans 3/1/97 I don't have a reef From: Illinois I ADDED YOU TO MY FAVORITES PAGE . . . THINKING VERY SERIOUSLY ABOUT
STARTING A REEF TANK IN OUR NEW HOME. YOUR BOOK SEEMS PRICEY. YOUR TANK
IS BEAUTIFUL THOUGH. Guest 2 From: John Owen 3/2/97 I found a message in a news group to which you responded that addressed
a problem I have -- chronically fading coraline algae. Perhaps you'd be
willing to elaborate? I have a (36x18x18)gal tank w/ 4x36" RO tubes on
top, 2xTritons & 2xCoralife50/50. pH runs around 8.2,calcium around
430, DKH around 12. Other macro algae seems to grow just fine. Do *you*
think we need more light, or would you recommend a different mix if tubes?
(You reco'd 2/3 actinic blue & 1/3 actinic white in the message to
which I referred -- but I've never heard of "actinic white. For budgetary
reasons I want to stay away from high output and MH lighting, but I don't
think I can squeeze another 36" double bulb fixture (I have 2 already)
over the tank. What do you think? Guest 1 Top
