    John Guest Fittings

    I've purchased them at HD as well...right next to the tubing and brass fittings. The employees didn't have a clue what I was referring to so I had to find them myself.

    Who has a coral that resembles something else (faces, people, objects, etc....)

    Great post idea! I can't wait to see more!

    Way too much humidity. Need advice.

    Well if you read the whole post, that is exactly the case. He needs the dehumidifying in the room where his tank is which is absolutely close enough to get salt spray. My dehumidifier is about 10 feet from the tank and has corrosion. Plus the line, or lack there of, was him simply saying that...

    Rebecca Albright article on Elkhorn coral and acidification

    The links just need to be edited to not include the "]" at beginning and the end. i.e.: http://cts.vresp.com/c/?MicrocosmAqu...a5/f625ecb71a

    If you wind up with the bad glass anoemonae (sp?) be rid of them easily..

    While boiling RO is a great idea, it won't account for every situation. For example: an anemone that is tucked right between some really great Zoas or Play's or what have you...the RO will wickedly fry the Zoas around the anemone as well. Equally though with the chemical killer but only if you...

    Aquavitro Salinity alk concerns, anyone else using it?

    I went back to Tunze from Salinity...however I kept the buckets and dump all the Tunze salt into the Salinity buckets :D:D:D I hate the white slime and the SLLOOOOOOOOWWW mixing times...but one I got it in the tank it was fine. Tunze ROCKS though!

    Way too much humidity. Need advice.

    I just keep mine running. I suppose you could put it on a timer but then you are going to have to try to measure what your humidity is at a certain time of day to guage when the fan turns on...or you could just set it to run at random intervals. Either way I don't think it matters. I was...

    Way too much humidity. Need advice.

    Okay, have A LOT of experience with this exact subject and I can tell you that a dehumidifier is definitely not the way to go UNLESS you have no other option. I have four tanks that run in my fish room and I literally had water on the floor/walls/everything else 100% of the time. I went out...

    clownfish + breeding = hair algae??

    Ultra Low Nutrient System often associated with the use of Bio Pellets

    clownfish + breeding = hair algae??

    I have noticed HA growing right around where the eggs were laid now that I think about it. It quickly goes away since I am running an ULNS but somehow it still sneeks by.

    Spots on our Foxface

    Beautiful fish! I love the pink/redish color on the fins

    Vertex Bio Pellets

    I have the reactor set up on my 65g, but yes I do have some cyano. This is completely normal and will soon go away, just be patient. I really wouldn't use a sock for the reactor. You want the good bacteria to flow through your tank and the sock will prevent some of that. Also you want the...

    Vertex Bio Pellets

    In have been using Vertex BPs for a long time and have had slime build up...but no dust. what I suspect is it's probably a result of the same process. I was able to get rid of it by adding more heterotrophic bacteria(MicroBacter7). It may be worth a shot to try. Whenever I see any biobuildup...

    How I know my pom pom crab have egg?

    It is extremely unlikely that the baby crabs will even survive. In fact, I have several Pom Pom Crab that get pregnant all the time and I have never seen any baby crab. More than likely they will become some decent food for corals and fish in your system.

    Ca Reactors: Post your bubble rate:flow:dkH ratios

    Yes...and hence the reason why you don't leave the CO2 wide open. You still should have a reasonably paced bubble count. But with proper maintenance and conistent monitoring, you don't need to be too concerned about the bubble count with a controller inline. Oh and I have a Korallin C-1502...

    Ca Reactors: Post your bubble rate:flow:dkH ratios

    Honestly, with a probe and controller, all you need to do is monitor your dKh and calcium levels(make sure they are stable at the levels you want the BEFORE setting up the reactor) then regulate the drip rate. No need to worry about bubble count or any of that. BUT you do need to make sure...

    Ca Reactors: Post your bubble rate:flow:dkH ratios

    I set my drip rate to about 1.5 drips per second. This is just based off the testing I have done to stabilize my levels. As far as bubble rate, I don't really have a set rate since I use a controller...so whenever the ideal PH is achieved in the reaction chamber it just shuts the solenoid...

    Drilling glass.

    Heavens to Betsy!! Don't break them! If they are still good tanks let us know and we may be able to find a use for them. I know I can always find some crazy use for old tanks...either custom sumps or even frag tank systems.

    Rescue Holly 911 Another use for Frag tools!

    Hahahaha awwwww that is adorable though. Well done!
