    Red Cyano?? (Asparagopsis)

    I thought my phosphates were good at 0.01, is that not good? And yes those stinking bubbles are driving me nuts to, they keep blocking the powerhead intakes and I keep sucking them out. So how did you use the "phosbate sponge"? Did you use bags?

    First "Real" test results of my tank

    SO after retesting WITH the syringe tip, I now have a CA value of 290 instead of 315.

    First "Real" test results of my tank

    Thats what I originally thought, but with the Alk test, the tip changed the amount of air that is in the syringe which would change the amount of fluid, so unless the instructions say to rid the syringe of air after drawing in the fluid I don't see how that not having the tip would give an...

    Red Cyano?? (Asparagopsis)

    I have this stuff blooming like crazy now in my tank. I just tested the water for the first time with Salifert test kits and posted the results here. I saw on a previous post by mattseatlle that "*true* Mexican turbo snails will eat it." Is that what I should do, get some Mexican turbo snails...

    First "Real" test results of my tank

    I finally got a few Salifert test kits and tested my water. Before I post the results I am concerned that my Calcium kit is flawed, it came without the plastic syringe tip. The tip affects how much air is in the syringe, right? So is it critical to have that tip to get an accurate reading? The...

    Rubbermaid Sump Design Ideas??

    Thanks for the advice guys. I will give it some more thought and probably hold out for a glass sump. I would kinda like to do as much myself as I can.

    Rubbermaid Sump Design Ideas??

    Thats a very nice set up Todd. Actually I got the rubbermaid idea from Kevin originally. Unfortunately the size of my stand prohibits many sump options. I figured a 30g glass aquarium would work if I cut out the end of the stand and reinforce it and add a panel to access the door, that way I...

    Rubbermaid Sump Design Ideas??

    Rubbermaid Sump Design Ideas??

    In the next month or so I would like to build a Rubbermaid sump in my 75g stand and I'm looking for some advice or someone who has done it before. My plan is to use an 18g to 28g (whatever I can get to fit) clear container. Then use an overflow to get the water out and a Mag 9.5 as the return...

    Has anyone ever used IRIDIUS power compact bulbs?

    Thanks for the replies! Sometime, I do plan on getting metal halides but for now, PC's will have to do.

    Has anyone ever used IRIDIUS power compact bulbs?

    Has anyone ever used IRIDIUS power compact bulbs? If so, what is you're opinion of them? Worth while? Or stay away? I am trying to replace my dual daylights and dual actinics and don't know what brand of bulbs to buy. Any suggestions would be great!!!:D Thanks, Nate

    Crab ID please?

    I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question but here goes. I have a 75g tank running for about 4 months and it has 65lbs of LR. Anyway a couple weeks ago I noticed a strange looking molt of a crab leg. The only crabs I know we have are the regular blue leg hermits and they...
