    TDS Meter bulk order......

    Just FYI about paypal. Its VERY difficult to dispute charges with paypal. I do not suggest paying for things with a pay pal account without using a credit card unless you are very confident things wont turn out for the worse.

    TDS Meter bulk order......

    Thats fine with me if you need to save on shipping. I'm lazy and would prefer directly to my apartment. I forgot, did you already account for shipping to my place or in bulk?

    Tank Material... Glass or Acrylic?

    I've heard too many stories of glass seals breaking. Thank god that it happened when people were home, otherwise good-bye fish and hello water damage. Honestly, I've scratched the hell out of my acrylic tank. Eventhough I've done this, I would never trade it in for a scratch free glass tank...

    Get an awesome skimmer. What kind of protein skimmer do you have? Chemical filtration is usually prefered as a last ditch effort (not an everyday thing). I only run carbon every once in a while. I'm getting some phosban because some of my carbon leaked phosphate into my tank and caused a...

    Help Help!! dog face puffer sick!

    It depends on your accuracy of your tests. You changed 10%, then 20% again. That means that 28% -> 14 gallons of you water is new. Therefore if you should see roughly a 1/4 of a reduction in your ppm... I know that I can't tell that much difference in my tests. They aren't that accurate and...

    Help Help!! dog face puffer sick!

    I have another question that might be helpful. Terry, is it better for someone in this situation to use a de-chlorinator and perform water changes more quickly? Or is it better to do fewer/small water changes with 24hr aged water? Some people dont have much space for mixing water. I mix...

    cynao outbreak

    I need to clean my sand bed and do a water change, but is there anything else that I can do to help reduce my cynao problem? I dont know what caused it... The only real change was the addition of running carbon through a phosban 150 reactor. Would that have sucked out some stuff that would...

    Lighting Investment - new tank

    Lighting really depends on what corals you want and the amount of space in your hood. Metal halides are preferred to power compacts for SPS, clams, etc., but they do heat up a lot more. If you are on a budget, dont have a large hood, and dont care about SPS or clams, go pc or vho...

    new to hobby

    Right now you should read, read, and read. Maybe try to find some reefers local to your area. The best way to get set up affordably is to buy someone's entire setup that is getting out of the hobby. I ended up buying most of my equipment used. I got my tank, stand, lights, protein skimmer...
