    Non Splitting RBTA, He's Big and Growing

    I have an RBTA that I got 6 or 7 years ago. For the first 5 years it split every 3-5 months into 2 or 3 new ones. I always sold the big ones and kept the smaller one. Then I added a tomato clown who feeds it like crazy. It has not split in 2 years now and is about 18" across. Fortunately, it...

    Pros and Cons of Kalk Reactors?

    I have had mine for six years, it is so trouble free. Makes up all evaporation on a timer with dosing pump. Made mine and use a maxi 1200 to mix. Only maintenance has been replacing maxijet every couple of years and I dump the reactor about once a year. I add 2 cups of kalk every couple of...

    Fish going crazy after skimmer change

    It just plugs in the wall and has a probe you put in your sump or tank. It only connects with the outlet with the ground pin the other two are plastic. Sorry, never been in on on the probe debate. My tank got happier years ago after installing one. But I have since replaced everything that could...

    Fish going crazy after skimmer change

    Do you have a ground probe? Hopefully the pump is not leaking electricity into the tank. Just a thought

    It is made to work wet. No problems. You can get a reasonably priced kit at rockler.com it is about 20 bucks and they have stores in Seattle and Tukwila.

    Ever have an acrylic tank leak?

    Well, my bulkhead was tight. I'm thinking it could have gotten wet from the tank level raising due to the teeth on the overflow being a bit clogged. I cleaned them a couple of days ago. I am gonna give it another day or two before I panic tpp much. Tearing the tank down even if it can be fixed...

    Wow Scooty, I could front you a little fish food. No reefer should have to resort to Fish Stamps

    Ever have an acrylic tank leak?

    I am working on it tonight. I only have one overflow with a bulk head and it may be the culprit. Hopefully it is loose. That would be the easiest solution. I will post my findings a little later, though it may take a day or two for things to dry out enough to see a difference. Thank for...

    Ever have an acrylic tank leak?

    I have a 100 gallon tank. The stand has molding covering the bottom inch and a half of the tank. Yesterday i noticed a little dampness in the corner of the molding. I am concerned that the tank is starting to leak from the bottom seam. Has anyone ever had a seam leak on a commercially made...

    Guide to Lazy Reefkeeping

    I have an auto top off system with a 30 gallon poly tank downstairs in the garage filled by rodi with Kent float valve and air valve. Pumped with a reef filler pump through a Kalk reactor to my sump. Pumps 1 gallon in 5 hours every morning. I used to have to carry 5 buckets of water up the...

    My ASM Skimmer Pump just died

    It spins freely on the shaft, but plugging it in has no effect at all. I think moving it caused a break in the connection. Frustrating part is it takes two weeks and a hundred bucks to get a new one. No one stocks them. I ordered one from Champion Lighting. I think the are the importer. They are...

    My ASM Skimmer Pump just died

    I have given up on it and ordered a new one. The shaft is perfect, the impeller spins freely. Nothing happens when it is plugged in. I think something happened to a connection inside. Thanks for all the suggestions!

    Any electronics guys on the board?

    I just set up an Aqua Controller and am having problems with wrong PH readings when I connect it to my computer with a 50' serial cable. Neptune Sys recommends a $50+ Ground Isolating Serial Connector. Its a small box with male and female DB9 connectors on it. It basically eliminates ground...
