I don't think scepticism is the same as unfriendliness.

In court there is a concept of clean hands. Those plaintiffs that don't play by the rules are treated differently than honest people...

I watched the linked video. I think at this point I'm comfortable calling out the OP as someone making a concerted effort at fame and fortune. She may have a reef tank, she may or may not have had...

I used the curve 7 on a 72g display. I used a Herbie drain and a DC return pump. The skimmer was the loudest piece of equipment. I found putting some floss in the air muffler brought the noise down...

Super Bowl predictions

About 90 mins to kick off! Anyone else going to watch?

If Denver plays effective aggressive defence (like last game) it could be close. If not, it may get ugly.

Assuming thing go well for each...

I would recommend doing a snorkel or dive in a cenote. Was one of the coolest things we did.

I used their Curve 7 skimmer on my tank that I just took down. Build quality seemed fine, relatively quiet, seemed like good value for the price. I wouldn't hesitate to look at other products from...

My initial thoughts -

I was under the impression that running an ATO directly from your RODI shortened your membrane due to the short cycling. Perhaps I've been misinformed. The solenoid...

I don't think I misunderstood either you or the article. You suggested changing 2g a day was wasteful and weekly or biweekly was "much more effective". I disagree with that assessment (again,...

I think it all depends on your available time and money. If you are short on either, a smaller tank may be in order. If I had to pick a tank for someone to start with (not considering future use as...

The dearth of spirited discussion

It seems like reef forums have been getting very quiet over the past 2 years or so. Not just canreef, but even huge forums like RC. When I first started reading forums there were often...
