    Heaters

    Maybe 3 months. The LCD pro is one of the ones I am looking at. Believe me, I am shopping around this time to see what is out there and at what prices. I doubt the beeper would have helped this time as we were both dead asleep. Please know that I continue to seek out responses as I want to...

    Heaters

    OK, I thought I was doing a good thing when I bought a Won titanium heater with remote temperature control--the thought was "Gee it will make tweeking the thermostat now and then so much easier." Yeah, right. It had been getting pretty chilly here at nights, so last Saturday night, I plugged...

    Question and apology

    God bless you Krish. I know you have'nt forgotten about the boys--but like I said, I would settle for some real nice looking barnacles (although, our tank is beginning to become rather crowded----there's always room for one more thing---right?). Anne

    Question and apology

    Can female cerith snails lay unfertilized eggs?? My ceriths in our main tank are laying eggs like crazy, but no baby ceriths. OK, make that two questions and an apology. What do baby cerith snails look like??? Now for the apology. Sorry for not being around, but we have had to move. Moving...

    Chemicals for new tank

    Don, I very slowly drip kalk all of the time as I find it helps the output of my skimmer--along with good mag levels. Anne

    I hate testing my tank! Please Help

    Shallowreef, what about doing your testing over 2-3 days and then a week from the last test start it all over? I'm thinking that if you can break it up a little bit, it will be easier for you. Just a thought Anne

    Any marine people in Hawaii

    Kate, if you currently don't have a degree, what you may want to do is go to college and major in marine science and specialize in aquarium science. You can do this through the internet (obviously you could not do the internships through the internet). In a place that is so beautiful and water...

    Freshwater dip to remove rock crabs?

    I had also heard of using a saltwater dip where the salinity is a bit more than what your tank would be. Anne

    whats product is recommended for dosing alkalinity

    I think I have busted that iodine myth. I use IO and I know it tends to run low in certain elements and through water changes and testing I know that iodine is one of them. I have the tests written down. I know that this is true for the salt that I use----may not be true for another salt...

    whats product is recommended for dosing alkalinity

    I have tried to read some of his articles and just wind up with a headache due to their complexity. Now before you go crazy on me, keep in mind that up until almost a year ago, the most complex measurement I had to do was to figure out how many scoops of formula to a bottle. I had pretty much...

    whats product is recommended for dosing alkalinity

    Boomer, when I told this experience to one of our LFS (one that has helped us out of many a bind), she rolled her eyes and repeated her admonishment on not using non aquarium products. I know that we have local reefers that do use things like ice melt (or something like it) for calcium...

    whats product is recommended for dosing alkalinity

    Back with our old tank, I was desperate to get the mag level up I used epsom salts. Shortly after starting the drip the critters in my tank started acting really weird--stopped the drip immediately and have not used a non aquarium product since. Like I said in previous email, if it works for...

    whats product is recommended for dosing alkalinity

    Kent's Superbuffer dKH will do this. You can even get it in powdered formula so that it will last longer. Many have found that non aquarium products work for them---and that is great. When I tried one non-aquarium product, things in our tank became very unsettled and acted weird. I...

    I may be Screwed

    The other thing he could do is get a blue damsel and wait for it to find the screw and haul it out only to drop it right in front on the sand. :) Crazy damsels. Anne

    Morgan, do you have the websites (or college names) for those colleges you were talking about in your post??? Anne

    Marine Biology

    Can you please post the websites to those two colleges. Sounds like it would not hurt to investigate them and maybe the possibility of attending their online programs. Thanks for your help. Anne
