    take live stock from Hawaii back to WA

    When Les w/ wet pets sent me a Fed Ex second day package to a collection center near me I recieved it the next day. It only took sixteen total hours to arrive at the collection center. Then I had to wait two hours for the center to open.

    Bad IO salt, or bad Elos test kits?

    Are youre Kh and Mag numbers high as well. I was getting consistently low Kh Mag and Ca numbers for a while until I realized that my refractometer was off. (so was my calibration fluid). It's probably not the case but may be worth checking out. Jason

    How do I make Kalk Paste?

    If you have a LFS that you can buy Joe's at you shoud also be able to buy Kalkwasser powder there. This should be cheaper than Joe's.

    Help with Tyhoon III ro/di

    I don't know about the DI bypass but if you're getting 0ppm water then I guess all is good. Did you contact Airwaterandice about you're unit being hooked up wrong? I've always found that their customer service is great.

    Help with Tyhoon III ro/di

    I'm home now so hopefully I can help. I keep the RO only closed and the next valve over is the DI bypass I also keep that closed. If you want RO only water you open the DI bypass and get your water out of the RO only hose. When you want RODI again close the DI bypass and get your water from...

    FTS of my 72 bow

    That's one of the best FTS I've ever seen. Great real life color. What are you shooting with? Did you have to adjust the color or contrast? Jason

    I've had a scissor tail goby since October and it has always swam around at the top of my tank. Last Saturday he started to hang out in the some of the holes that my Diamond Goby hangs out in. The only major change in my tank in the last month was a day before his behavior change. Friday I...

    How much head loss through a chiller?

    I just found it on-line the Cl-605 adds 6 feet of head pressure and the chiller asks for a flow of 600-1000gph. So maybe I'll stick with the Mag-12. Thanks

    I'm re-doing my flow and I am going to rely less on my return pump for flow. I want to downsize to about 4x return on a 90 gallon plus sump, but I want my return to go through a 1/4 Pacific Imports chiller I ordered. I currently have a Mag 12 hooked up but no chiller yet. I have a Mag 5 that...

    lowest temperature for mixed reef tank

    When Lee spoke at the PSAS meeting in March he suggested that we try our best to keep our tank paramaters stable. He stated that balanced paramaters in our tanks are more important due to all the other variables that aren't perfect for our fish. In the ocean the water paramaters are optimal...
