I am just getting frustrated as you can imagine. Nicki even sugjested just taking everything out and put the corals and fish into a quaratine tank...

    Well update to the sea hare. Last night before I went to bed he was cruising along the side of the aquarium. I woke up this morning to find him laying on his side on the bottom. He was still taking in water and his head would move a bit but he was on his side. I dont know what to think. I was...

    I just went home for dinner and saw the Sea Hare and it is much bigger than I thought it was going to be. Once we put it in the tank it moved right to a rock with a bunch of hair algae on it and I am sure it is going to have a feast tonight.

    I was thinking of something like that where I pump the new water into my aquarium and let the water that goes out over the overflow drain outside until I have done a very large water change like 80 gallons. I am going to give these 1/4 water changes in rapid succesion a try and then I might just...

    Well my RO/DI unit is working flawlessly now I guess it needed a bit of time more than I gave it, but the TDS meter is showing 30ppm in and a big fat zero coming out. Check... The feeding issue well I never give them more than they can eat. I dont like to see the food settle to the bottom so I...

    The price is pretty standard for onezy twozies. You dont get any really good deals unless you buy in larger lots. My wife used to work in promotional advertising until my work moved us up here but she does have quite a few contacts that might be able to get a better deal if we come up with a...

    Oh if I did that I would swap them to the correct spot. Thought I would add that before I got ribbed for it. :)

    Got my RO/DI today hoping this helps

    I was thinking about taking a lead out an putting it in some distilled water to see if the reading changes. The only mess up was I got the in and out probes swapped. I wouldn't think that would matter at all.

    OK let it run over night and into this afternoon but for some reason the TDS meter shows the same reading for what is going out as what is going in 27-31. I dont believe I missed any steps to its install. I guess I wil give it a little more time and do some research

    Going to try to make it down as well so it would be 4 total for us as long as my daughter feels better. I enjoyed the meeting at Floyds and look forward to learning some more. Besides the wife is really excited about it.

    OK I think I am on th eriht track then as well. Doing another large change this weekend. Hopefully my RO/DI unit willl get here in time or it's another trip to the culligan man. Either way the tank is chugging right along but I just want it to be all that it can. I know sounds corny or like a...

    Hello RF

    New frags seem to be doing ok. I am a little concerned about the Leather and the Bird's nest but other than that they look good. Floyd it was nice meeting you and your crew as well. If I would have known I would have taken our daughters with. We look forward ot getting together sometime as well.

    The wife and I had a great time and learned a lot. Matter of fact I ordered our RO/DI when we got home from Air, Water and Ice. Finally got the water changed this evening and the aquarium already looks better. I am going to do a 20 gallon or so water change weekly for the next few weeks until I...

    Let me see how long it will take me to get the water change done. I am on the PSAS website as well but for the life of me I could not find the post on the get together. I am sitting here now trying to figure out wich RO/DI to purchase. I will keep researching. Any sugjestions?

    Hello RF

    Thanks I will post pics once I get this algae bloom fixed. My live rock is a bit hairy right now so the plan is to us a tooth brush and some elbow greese to remove it. NWDiver was the one who told me about the site. I forgot to give him a shout out. Sorry :(
