    Can i keep a mandarin?

    i have four ten gallon tanks that I use to keep a culture of pods. I really love culturing them and then dosing my fuge and tank with them. I have low bioload on a 6 year old 75g tank and dose pods every week. my mandarin is still skinny. I am barely able to keep her alive. IMO I think youll...

    any have....

    Ill bet you can make custom 90 degree elbow with some creative pvc ing. I would buy some pvc caps and drill a little tiny hole on the top and a big hole on the side and put them on your down flows and see if that helps first. If that doesnt work you may have to modify your coast to coast to...

    What do I need to upgrade?!?

    I would check your RO/DI. My tank had a nitrate problem like yours once and I found out RODI was broken and more or less a bacteria farm.

    Safe For Humans?

    My girlfriend just ran out of her bath salts. So I gave her two cups of instant ocean and she took a bath with it. Was that stupid of me? Has anyone else used reef salt for baths? :confused:

    Another reason to leave

    I tried to quit myspace and they would not let me. I tried really hard, emailed and got the run around. I had to manually delete everything but a skeleton site was still up. So I posted some random internet nudes up and they deleted my page into internet history.

    what do YOU think?

    I would leave out the hermit crabs, ever since I got rid of mine my snails reproduce and live forever it seems.

    what do YOU think?

    I agree with everyone about it being too many fish. I have a 75. I think you could make it work if you worked really hard and are experienced. I wouldnt want to be a fish in there though. I am currently starving my mandarin. I had a million pods and then I got a six line wrasse and that was the...

    RO/DI unit

    I would buy a whole new ro di. But then again Im always buying stuff for my tank. If your two hundred dollars is better spent on other things that help your critters maybe you should do that. You could try it and see if you get a bloom of any kind. :confused:

    Chiller or Air Conditioner??

    I just looked up how hot is was that week July heat wave puts lawns to sleep Seattle Times - Aug 2, 2006the hot spell included back-to-back daily records for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport of 97 on July 21 and 96 on July 22. Normally, the city's water ... Related web pages

    Chiller or Air Conditioner??

    You are totally right about the chillers working if they are rated high enough, don. I have a pacific coast on my 75 and my brother has a pacific coast on his 100 gallon and they both failed to keep the temp down to below 85 infact my brothers hit 90. We had to turn off the halides for 5 days...

    DHL complaint/vent

    yikes, that is terrible. I collect antique dishes and I finally had to stop buying them on ebay because every other one was showing up broken. The companies just dont care and it is a huge huge huge hassle to get anything done about it. Maybe get things sent to your favorite business and have...

    Chiller or Air Conditioner??

    if that is the prime 1/3 high btu rated chiller you might just be ok on 90 degree days here, but that is an $800 chiller. And if not youll simply need to turn off your halides like me and my brother have to do on the hot days. Here is another question for you, if you put a chiller outside of...

    Chiller or Air Conditioner??

    I am sure anyone with a reef tank in eastern washington has AC. Do you guys have airconditioning? Has it ever hit 90 in your tank room. Jan does not have AC, I do not, and the guy in the apartment doesnt. That means when it is 90 outside, it is 90 degrees inside the house and sometimes hotter...

    Chiller or Air Conditioner??

    again, chiller outside works good when its 85 or less. If it is 90 outside your chiller better be rated very high. You will not be albe to get any pulldown if you have plumbing and a hot chiller outside. I garrantee you that your tank will actually heat up from blowing 90 degree air through it...

    Chiller or Air Conditioner??

    I think if you can keep the room at 70 you will definately be able to avoid a temp crash. If you are currently able to control temperature at 70 then you should be fine right? I assume its when that room gets 75 that you start having problems. Thats when I do. My tank runs 5 degrees warmer than...
