    Tds Meter

    Well when you are running your water, you will usually get at least 3-4 times waste water as you get good water. Both tubes will be running. I'm sure you know this, just making sure. It only will put out the good water and the rest will go down the drain. You have to be bypassing something. How...

    BTA Question

    He might be adjusting to the tank. He will move and move until he finds a place that he likes. My BTA moved for a couple of days and then found his place right under the HOB filter return. BTA's, from what I understand, usually will go high up on the rocks and will find the light. My Sebae...

    Black branching sun coral

    I just shut the flow off completely, and use a turkey baster. They grab right onto the Mysis and you can turn the flow back on within a few minutes. Takes two minutes total feeding time. Easy...

    They are Mysis Shrimp, freshwater shrimp. They are frozen as well and tend to be larger than Brine.

    PC Lights & Timers

    I don't need to see my tank in the AM as I am usually in a rush to get to work anyways so I just have the lights go on later and shut off later so I can enjoy them at night. I don't get home from work until 9:00 PM so that is when everything gets fed and the lights stay on until 11:30PM so I can...

    40g Diary LOTS OF PICS

    Where can you buy the Hard Birch Plywood? Looks like nice stuff. Again, you did an awesome job on that stand. One of the best DIY I have seen.

    Pulsing Xenia problems

    Yeah Luke, when they started looking crappy, I put them in the light and it didn't do anything, I just put them back under the ledge and maybe they will comeback. I dunno, this is the third time, and it seems to be the only thing I can't keep. Frustrating...

    not happy as a clam

    Check your PH. My PH dropped a while back to 7.8 and the clam wasn't happy and didn't open much at all until I corrected it. YOU need to check your PH YOURSELF and not the LFS because the PH of your sample changes by the time you get it to the LFS. Good luck.

    Pulsing Xenia problems

    I cannot seem to keep Xenia alive for some unknown reason. This is the third time I have tried now. I have corrected every possible thing I can think of that could be wrong, making these things die. I just bought a super huge colony of them for 60 bucks, thinking that I could keep at least half...

    Joe's Juice Overhaul

    I tried to kill an Aptasia in the middle of my Xenia colony. Joe's Juice wiped out half the Xenia colony. All the stalks fell off the LR and floated all around the tank until the settled somewhere else. Most are still alive, just all in different places.

    Dumbest thing you dropped in your tank?

    I put a Small Mouth Bass into my FW tank when I was in High School. I caught it with my rod, it was about 3 inches long. Lived for years and ate flake and pellets. Was a cool fish swimming around with Jack Demsey and my Oscars.
