I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Rescape looks much nicer. I am not sure if you answered this yet but what bulbs are you running?

Default Reservoir
So I officially got my reservoir set up yesterday.

I went to Zeebest Plastics in Edmonton and picked up a 20 gallon - food grade bin for $56. Top and all.

I did not trust using rubbermaid as it flexes way too much for comfort.

I have my first batch of salt mixing as we speak.

Now I need to see what I can attach to the pump to pump the water out of the tank. I am sure this will be an easy fix.... as will running water lines to the bin from my laundry faucet. I will probably run a simple "Y" off the tap and run a hose into the bin. Its only about 10 feet from the tap.

This should cut down some time when preparing for water changes.

I have some diatom causing havoc. Joy. I am going to try that Chemi-Clean media in my sump to see if it helps clean it up at all.

Default F*&#!
So I am dealing with a cyano out break. I don't really know what to do about it.

I am going to try Chemi-Pure Elite... as it is SUPPOSED to help.

Man I hate cyano. Covering all my frags. Have to clean them off daily.

Anyone have a fool proof way of killing this crap off before it starts to harm my corals? It is covering zoa frags mostly and they wont open. Boo.

Put a sheet over the tank for 2 days with the lights off. Works every time for me
