    Quick Saltwater.

    You can find it at TapPlastics. $10.95 for the 5gallon version. Someone years ago pointed this out on RC. So, I bought one. It works, but I still use the old powerhead to mix salt.

    cpr bak pak with maxi jet 900? will it work?

    The Maxijet won't work with the venturi that already comes packaged with it. You need to get a separate venturi kit to use the MaxiJet with the Bakpak. Like this one from Premium Aquatics...

    Who scrapes?

    What my old 20g high used to look like. The coralline growth was the best part of the tank. I now scrape the front of the tank every once in while and leave the other 3 sides untouched.

    Tap Water

    Aerate the water, to speed up the dechlorination. Some salt brands contain a declorinator.

    Mantis or Pistol

    Ditto on what sandlot13 said. When I had a pistol shrimp, I heard it clicking when the tank lights are off and the room is dark. The mantis that I have now, I hear primarily during the day. As far as IDing by sound, when you said you heard "Coin against the glass," that's what I remember my...

    20g Nano Setup

    http://www.state.hi.us/dlnr/dar/library/coral_liverock.htm Yo Porkfat, Check out the link on Hawaii's live rock/corals laws. I wish I hadn't read that you were chiseling out rock. That's what the laws are trying to prevent, damage to the ocean's reef. Ouch! One way to do a reef tank legally in...

    Big Meeting in Tri-Cities

    Thank you Mid Columbia SW Aquarium club for a great event and for the warm hospitality. I had a great time on the tank tour, which left me with tank-envy. I learned a lot from Terry and Anthony. The midnight frag demo was especially eye-opening. Even though I didn't win any of those cool nano...

    Nba champs

    Right it now, it looks like a Spurs/Pistons final. I got to give it up to Obi Wan Ginobli. Hows that shot he made in the remaining minutes of game 2 against the Suns? Incredible! I'm still disappointed that the Sonics are out. They had a great season.

    Help Apastia overtaking Zoas

    Sorry, I don't have any useful information, but I must say that is a pretty cool picture. I see zooanthids, ricordea, a clam, halimeda, caulerpa, and of course aiptasia. Good luck in your battle against the evil aiptasia.

    Elmo's nice tank

    Congratulations Elmo! That's one cool looking tank. You do a great job promoting ethical reefkeeping with your breeding and rearing of clowns, and of course the propagation of your famous orange cap. The pink echinophyllia is cool too. Though it must try to sting everything it your tank.

    problems with my nemo

    I hope your clown is alright. Have you tried seeing if he can swim alright? With your hand or a little net, try slowly bringing it near him, and see if he can swim away properly, navigating your tank. Try using a turkey baster to squirt food near him. Does he react to the smell? Just a...

    Sump?

    Hey Brad, You mentioned that you don't have dividers in your sump. How are you preventing bubbles from returning to your tank? I also don't have dividers in my tank/sump and so I'm relying on impromptu baffles. Could be better though. Thanks
