    Reverse Osmosis question?

    So what size? There is 50, 75, 100, 175. The filter cost just seems to go up and up depending on size, but I imagine that the size also means that it will produce water faster. Thanks, Ali

    Reverse Osmosis question?

    So what brand of RO unit do you guys recommend for efficiency and low cost on replacement filters keeping in mind I need around a gal a day? I don't really care too much about cost as long as the filters are cheap in the longrun. Thanks, Alison

    Reverse Osmosis question?

    Hi Wil, I wasn't aware you did that. That would be great to use that service. I'll take ya up on that. I come in all the time and didn't know that. I still think I'll get something for home though as it will be easy and convienent, but until then I'll hit ya up on that. By the way, our...

    Reverse Osmosis question?

    Ok so I have a few questions about Reverse Osmosis systems- Should I buy a system that is meant for drinking and plumb to my sink that stores in a 4 gal or 2.5 gallon tank? Or buy the kind meant for the aquarium that produces more but how do those work and are the filters more costly? I just...

    Our other hobby...

    Very, very pretty koi and pond. I helped construction on my mom's koi pond at her house years ago. We should have just used a backhoe due to the bad soil condition which was clay. Man that was agonizing digging. lol. Hers is around 1200 gal's and 3 ft. deep. I wish she had decided on an...

    Skimmer-Pump question

    Ya I found out that's probably why that pump went out was because it was a wet dry return and not pressure pump. I don't think the guy that sold the tank to me knew much about that stuff. It was a killer deal though for sure on all the stuff I got. I try not to buy new reef setup stuff as it...

    I have the bad anemone's!

    Ok so what do I do? Do I treat it like aptasia and use Kalk or what? I tried the scrubbing the rock thing and powerjet thing and pretty much everything, but I haven't tried kalkswisser trick yet. Any opinions? Just got a used setup about 2 months ago with a bunch and want to rid the system...

    Clams in a mixed reef

    Ok thanks guys..... I don't know much about clams, but would love to get one. I read Dersa's are best, but I have not seen one for sale locally. Are maxima's pretty hardy too? I have a 120 gal mixed reef with Tangs that don't pick and dual 250 MH mogul 20k bulbs. Thanks, Ali

    Have You Ever Tried to Save Something?

    :) Thanks you guys, Ya it was a long battle but I managed to save him. I really couldnot believe the girl would not move him to another tank. He was seconds away from being a scoobie snack. I think it was well worth the battle to save him though. He is VERY healthy and the total boss of the...

    Lighting For Corals, Help a Newbie!

    Hi, I definately agree with everyone else. Dual 250 electronic ballasts are the way to go. T-5's have not proved themselves to me for keeping everything yet. I would just shop around online for the cheapest Retro kit on Metal Halides. As for bulbs that is always a debate. HQI -I don't...

    Have You Ever Tried to Save Something?

    I saved a blue tang once. It was at Petco. I was there for my dog at the time, and NEVER buy fish there but I was over there taking a look and looked and there was a blue tang the size of my pinky nail (SERIOUSLY) hiding in a astrea snail shell and a lionfish looming over him waiting for him...

    Rose bubble tip anemone splitting?

    Hi, I have a 3 week old very healthy rose bubble tip anemone that has 2 true perks hosting in it. I noticed 2 days ago that one tentacle has 3 tips at the end. Does this mean it will split or what? The anemone is the size of a large saucer plate. It was a quarter that size at the fish...

    Need ID on anenome looking thing

    I would say that they are not the nuisance anemone's. I have those and they look like miniature green bubble tip anemone's not what you have pictured. I know there can be some variation though as I have 2 nuisance anemone's that have red tips and the rest don't. That's just my 2 cents... Ali:)
