    Anthias Compatability

    I dont know about mixing males of different Species... however you do need 1 male in each group of Females... If there isnt one then they will undergo a sex operation and become a male... LOL... Anthias are a pretty passive fish and should get along with any other fish... Males of the...

    Oceanpure is Actually Branded by ViaAqua... ViaAqua is a Subcompany under Commodity Axis Inc... Taam (Rio) and Helios is also a sub company under commodity Axis inc... There isnt too many salt Mfgs out there.. Oceanic, Kent and IO are all from the same company... Central pet I believe is...

    Crystal Sea Marinemix & Bio-Sea Marinemix

    just find yourself a small bag.. mix it up and test it... If you like the levels drop it into your tank and start using it... Heck send them an email offer to pay for shipping if they give you a small sample... www.viaaqua.net James...

    Crystal Sea Marinemix & Bio-Sea Marinemix

    So far I have been using it since about Jan 23rd, 2005... Cant remember the exact date... I think Weast followed about a month or less after that... O2manyfish was using it for like 8 months prior to me using it.. (if i remember right from the post) I do 50g water changes every 2-3 weeks so...

    Mike... IMO so far Oceanpure is that near perfect salt... I was looking for something like that and found Oceanpure... My wife calls me a perfectionist and I am very satisfied with Oceanpure as of now... James

    Crystal Sea Marinemix & Bio-Sea Marinemix

    yeah Its made by Via Aqua... Down here the main one that uses it besides myself would be Weast... Lots of us have switched out from Oceanic to Oceanpure due to the cost as well as the bad that follows with Oceanic... Here is a couple threads from RC Crystal Seas "junk"...

    Crystal Sea Marinemix & Bio-Sea Marinemix

    Look into Oceanpure.. A Bunch of us down here in oregon is using it with great success.. Alot like oceanic but with IMO perfectly balanced levels.. So far out of the several buckets I have gotten they all seem to be pretty much the same consistency.. Africa NW carries it up there by you so...

    Ozone alters Skimmate???

    Well some Good News.. I sent an Email to the company wondering why the 300u has the port for the Air drier and they said the design was just changed a few days ago.. They offered to send me out a new top cover with the port hold and the adapter... I would say pretty good customer service if...

    Ozone alters Skimmate???

    No Jim but still please get a air dryer. You can make one dirt cheap. Will do.. since you mention making one... may I ask how? Just set the dial based on the std dosage I gave for net gals and have the treated water pass over GAC. Confused about the dial.. Are you talking about that last...

    Ozone alters Skimmate???

    yeah I saw that one Boomer.. It didnt look too bad for the price either... So you think Me just running the Ozone a couple hours a day Is going to hurt something with the tank the size that it is? It does cause a lot of Electrical interference... the reason I picked it up for a few frags was...

    Ozone alters Skimmate???

    Boomer.. I noticed on their website that the 300u since It has a built in pump cant use the air drier however I noticed that one of the 300u units did and had a seperate port on the outside to hook up to the air drier... So It got me thinking... I took the unit apart and it has the same...

    Ozone alters Skimmate???

    Ozone alters Skimmate???

    Boomer... First off thanks for the Complete run down... I must say that when I ment "shut down" the skimmer at the setting that I had It prior to ozone wasnt producing very much skimmate at all... foam was still there It was just a much cleaner foam.. My Ozone unit I picked up rather cheap...

    Reactor feed

    The flow into the reactor just needs to be consistent... I just put a john guest fitting on my return line (Dolphin 3600) and use it like that without a valve... Were talking 1/4" line here so you cant put too much flow thru it... when I used a powerhead to feed it I just used a Rio 800 and...

    Reactor feed

    Looks good however I might make 1 suggesting... The nipple end to the reactor looks a bit big for 1/4" tubing... Might I suggest screwing in an John Guest fitting.. Its about 2.00 and will make your like a whole lot easier... I think I had about that same nipple when I first did mine and boy...

    Ozone alters Skimmate???

    Well This is kinda funny cause I was just testing that Theory in my rock skimming tub... Running ozone (expecially a large unit) pretty much shuts down a skimmer... The Ozone works in a simular way to the Skimmer in the matter of It removes Organics as well... It pretty much cleans up the...
