    AquaNotes for AquaController III Pro

    I tried it, not the pro version but regular and i'm less than impressed with their programming skills. What are you looking to do? It has a small web server and/or uses the web server on the pc (pc only). It polls the device and generates graphs, but my device does that anyway and i've got my...

    Where do you get frag bags?

    My Advice after receiving some VERY beat up frags, if you want to ship nice ones go get one of those $19.95 tupperware kits for leftovers (about 40 pieces), rubber band the frags so they hang in the water, and tape the tops shut, the frags will remain wet, the bag wont get punctured and leak (no...

    auto-top off

    I bought a electric float switch from autotopoff.com for $50, set a 5 gallon bucket of ro water next to the sump, and dropped in a $20 pump, voila. Of course it does run out of water if I don't fill the 5 gallon bucket, but it certainly helped keeped a better water level on my 75 gallon tank.

    The problem with DSBs

    For us newbies... WTH is a RUGF? Also as a newbie the article states that two much live rock is as bad as a dsb, and areas of anoxic (shallow) are better than anaerobic (deep non oxygen), so does that mean that bio balls which are all surface area are therefore more anoxic are better than live...

    Returns/Closed Loop Flow

    So I finally think I have enough parts to make my 120 have great flow, but I am asking your opinions on how to finish the outsides of the bulkheads. Basically I am putting in 5 1" bulkhead returns, 4 (with 3/4" lockline) will eventually hook to an oceans motions ;) I am thinking on the back...

    RIP and Who Done It?

    Do you have an eel... ? Mine ate mine in one night and it was a 4", the eel was only in the tank two weeks before it happened, and he cleaned out the shell. Completely empty.

    How to blow a Heater (aka Electrocution 101)

    So today I was doing a water change from my salt mix bucket. I have a heater in there, and was pumping water out of it to my tank with a maxijet 1200. I run an extension cord to another outlet while i'm doing this. I was almost done with about 5 gallons left in the tub, the tank was full and...

    Any ideas??

    Turbinaria is my guess, i've got one too and several of my fish seem to pick on that particular one, don't know if it's because it is the best at catching mysis or what... Of course mine is much smaller.. like 8 polyps.

    Killing live rock!

    Before I brought my tank home and converted from fish only, the maintenance guy used to bleach (soak) all the rock every two weeks, in a tall garbage can, then he would empty the water and use a neutralizing solution (don't remember what it was), the whole process took about an hour and removed...

    who is eating my ACAN? Ground probe and Oregon tort bleaching..

    Just buy one of the ground probes that plugs in, they have a titanium probe, and a 3 way plug. That's the easiest, the other cheaper more complicated ways are definitely messier, and don't plug the probe into something that turns off... Marine Depot has one for $14.95.. It's titanium with...

    Xenias being eaten?

    Hmm.. I haven't seen my emerald crab since I put him in the tank, so maybe it is him, of course the stinkin hair algae isn't being eaten but the xenia is! Go figure.

    overflows

    Where can I find inexpensive plumbing parts, like gate valves (slider), our Home Depot and Lowes are worthless. I'm following MyTee's lead here and going to drill my new (used) 120 for a closed loop!
