    Whats your favorite LFS ?

    I like Barrier Reef and Blue Sierra ...if BS was closer I would probably go there mostly. BR has great selection of SPS and LPS. The staff is always kind. The customer service is great... BS I like a lot because of how much of everything they carry... from bulbs, corals, tanks, ballasts, and...

    Green Film

    Bojangles thats great advise. The reefkeeping books at LFS will be a great help. Water Chemistry basics is what I suggest focusing on. You said the tanks a month old with tap water... That explains it. Cycling process also tap water put in stuff you really do not want at all. Nitrates...

    POWERHEAD placement

    There was a nice thread made by Major Reef ..and I did try to find it for you. He discussed flow. What I gathered from reading bits of it was how GPH though important wasn't the focus. It's placement of the powerheads that makes a differences. From what I do understand...placing power heads...

    MMORPG Gamers

    WoW lasted 4 years for me. Just didn't like the direction of the dev's. Soon as battlegrounds was in..I was done for. I lost interest in pvp since then. Conan was good till you got off Tortage. Then you realized how unpolished it was. I played Herald of Xotli..I Loved that demon but once I...

    Its A Bad Bad Day...

    Another poster on another thread had a good point about tap water. The city water source can change over night and one day its not so bad another have elements you dont want at all. Unless you can test for metals you could be polluting the tank with things your test kits don't cover either...

    Its A Bad Bad Day...

    Rewording: The starfish death... use of canister filter... Dosing the entire tank... I am wondering more about. First whats your water tests say about your chemistry? You say she only has a HOB filter and now canister filter. So you are saying you dont use a skimmer at all? What Top off...

    water for 1st fill

    I guess I wasn't clear in the post ...i didnt proof read. I understand Tap will introduce Phosphate and Nitrates...but that isn't so bad is it? I mean you want to get the algae bloom cycle going right? Toss in some flake food once to get the amonia cycle started also. or shrimp... Since its...

    If you like Online games , I can get you introduced to folks ... Otherwise I am a recluse. After hitting 30 I went from active person to love being in my living room and not moving. Thanks Krisfal for reminding me about the membership thing. I forgot about it last time I was at Indoor Reef...

    water for 1st fill

    Whats wrong with adding Tap water? Since he is starting new... would it not help it cycle? Having the things we try to export in established ofcourse...but isn't that what we want? I mean people using Ro/Di to start a tank sounds like a waste of money if they buy the water. Since you are...

    Getting rid of red slime algae

    ive read and read and read and tried and failed many times over with Cyano. Flow prevents not cures cyano. And I say this because once its there ...flow does nothing but spread it to some other area of your tank. It doesn't mean you will have a mass break out...i think those who used flow were...
