New Board - Fish Food!
Jan 03, 2009 - 1:45 PM - by Matt Rogers
By request... 3reef now has a Fish Food - 3reef Forums board.

For fish food recipes, questions about fish foods, coral foods, how much to feed your fish, etc. Food questions only please.

I moved a lot of threads in there so it is off to a good start and very handy. Thanks for the suggestion.

Enjoy!

Tunze Nano Wavebox 6206
Dec 23, 2008 - 12:05 PM - by Matt Rogers
The Tunze Nano Wavebox could be the answer if you are looking for something to shake things up in your aquarium with more natural water movement than is provided than conventional powerheads. The nano version is fully configurable and has a smaller footprint than it's bigger brother at just 4.9" x 2.1" x 8.6" and is rated for aquariums that are 39 - 158 gallons.

Fluval E Series Advanced Aquarium Heaters
Dec 23, 2008 - 11:55 AM - by Matt Rogers
These new Fluval E Series Advanced Aquarium Heaters have some nice features such as realtime digital temp reading and two monitor alerts that you can set that will give you more piece of mind. I had a tank overheat from a bad heater, so these features are nice to have integrated into your heater. If you have one, please post your feedback.
