    water storage

    Switched from the plastic barrel to a spare 30 gallon glass tank. Fits up against the wall better than the barrel, no leaching, easy to wipe down if I need to and i can easily see if the salt is gathering on the bottom while adding it or crusting up the sides or not dissolving at all... been...

    Oh no,,, not again................

    Ever heard of anyone using vet drugs to dip for nudibranchs? I got some ivermectin to try on red bugs and flatworms. Yes I intentionally picked up frags with red bugs and put them in a special tank just so I could try killing the bugs. Haven't got any zoa eating nudi's to play with, but I know...

    anyone keeping multicolored bubble tip anemones

    Been coveting a bicolor BTA for a while, and finally have a system ready. I was doing research on the various names and prices associated with them when I came on a thread in another forum where some claim they are dyed. I know that is not always the case but would not be surprised if it...

    Calcium Inhibits Coral Growth

    Has the Elos potassium test been compared with other brands? Some of their other kits were not favorably reviewed, found it discouraging. Perhaps their early production runs had some issues, it's a new brand. By Red Montipora do you mean one that is deep red or the typical peach/orange...

    Calcium Inhibits Coral Growth

    Hi, Thanks for the great thread! I need to upgrade my ritalin to completely take it in though (: I was wondering if you know of a reputable potassium test kit? Also could you clarify what you define as "high calcium levels" in ppm? Sorry if this has been covered, I might have missed it. I don't...

    No more conflicts of interest!

    Wow your tank is looking great! That LED light is awesome. Is it easier on your eyes? I need to watch the UV exposure on my eyeballs. You found a good gluten free IPA? I know a few interested parties. I think you should take up home brewing and use the CO2 in the calcium reactor (: Of course to...

    need saturation advice

    Did not know that about the macs' screens being dull, thanks. I guess I will leave the saturation as the camera sets it even though it seems exaggerated unless it's outrageously overdone. IE I have a plating montipora that comes out purple in pictures but in real life it's bright brown. The...

    need saturation advice

    Hi, I was working on posting photos to photobucket and flickr. Noticed that the pictures as I crop and fix them on the main pc seem oversaturated, so I was dialing the saturation and contrast back. Then I look on the mac laptop and the pictures are really dull. Need advice. Does this look right...

    Thanks both of you, I will do both. Here's hoping I don't get vinegar-mud in my eye.

    iwaki maintenance

    Hi I just bought a used Iwaki MD40 pump. Wondering if I should open it up and inspect the O-ring and impeller now and/or with regularity in the future or if you generally only open it if you get an obvious problem? Manual only talks about opening it for problems. I neglected maintenance on a...

    My 240

    Well that tank is great. Your 180 was fantastic but I also see the need to have more space front to back. I can't clean the glass in my 55 without breaking stuff so I am getting a 120 tomorrow. Would love a tank like yours but our house is small. With your coral growth rate they will bee hitting...

    i want to start a reef tank

    You are getting asked what kind of livestock you want because some kinds of invertebrates and fish need more planning than others. Like anemones... they wander so you need to screen off any pumps or overflows that they could get torn up by. SPS coral seem to require higher flow, LPS could get...

    drilling for closed loop, overflow

    Never mind... I read on wetwebmedia this will fail. Also cleaned off the tank and the brace across the top is milky with fine crazing. I think it's too old to be trustworthy. Kate

    drilling for closed loop, overflow

    Hi, I need advice as am about to drill. Tank is a very used truvu 80 which is 48" by 18" by 20". My current tank is a reef ready AGA 55 which I hate because 1/8 of it's volume is taken by the overflow + the huge powerhead & return lines are ugly. I want a minimal overflow this time, and a closed...
