I asked for print out at my water company.

I agree Darth, It's going to be overturned one way or another. Yes, it is just the 5.56mm "green tip" rounds. If it goes through and does become a law though, it would leave it open to banning other types of ammunition in the same category. Plus, have you seen an AR pistol? I don't think most...

lol, It's just a Neptune Systems Apex Jr. Aquacontroller. I still want to add a few different aquabus's to it so that I can monitor the pH, water on floor, and a few other little things. As the tank advances, the technology will too. I have GFO in my reactor and I'm fixing to go to the fish...

I can now control my lights, my return pump and my temperature of the aquarium through my iPhone. I can get e-mail alerts and get real time data while I'm at work. Awesome.

Full Description: I am currently using a two bulb T5HO system by an unknown name brand. The bulbs are made by ATI and both are 54w. One blue plus bulb and one 10k. Lighting Schedule: The lights are on eight hours a day from 2pm to 10pm. There is not a separate timer for the individual bulbs...

With the diversity of lighting systems available on the market and the diversity of tanks, I'd like to start this open thread as a discussion to try to help new hobbyists wade through the seemingly endless options available to them. If we could have some kind of structure to this thread, I...

Salifert is good on a budget! I like them and they are pretty easy to use. If you are going to get more into technicalities like calcium, alkalinity and magnesium, Seachem makes great test kits, although they are kind of expensive.

With that being said, I have a T5HO setup currently and I intend on buying another Photon 48 from ReefBreeders as soon as I am able to afford to. Before my last tank crashed due to monochloramine (an RO/DI unit filtration system error and bad city water) I used a photon 48 over what I intended...

The people who have thousands invested in metal halides and T5's are the detractors of LEDS. Once you buy into a system, you have to justify your reason for purchasing it in the first place. For example, Nikon camera users vs. Cannon camera users. They both have their benefits, but when you have...

Louisiana is one of the open carry states. Anyone with a gun can legally carry one on their hip as long as it is in the open. Most Louisianians have concealed carry handguns - but that hasn't done much to prevent crime in certain ethnic neighborhoods. I personally love firearms and will do my...

Oh yeah, I played around with my Apex Jr. this evening and was able to hook it up to the internet and do the Firmware update. I'm excited to start to play around with it again. I'm still trying to figure out the whole Apex Fusion thing from my iPhone. . At least now I can access it through my...

thanks Mandy, Things are coming along nicely. I just got my GFO in the mail today and put it in the system. according to the directions, it requires 8floz per 50g of water. Since I have roughly 75g of water that is habitable at the moment, I added 12floz to the reactor and adjusted it to a slow...

1 inch = 2.54cm, just FYI.

That's neat.

Lighting has changed a lot. When I got into the hobby, everyone wanted metal halides and VHO lamps. Now people are going nuts over LEDs. Seems like there are a lot more skimmer brands out there these days. The choices of powerheads has increased. When I started, you had the choice between a...

Water changes always sucked for me. I lift a lot of stuff at work all day- so having to lift 5g utility containers for water changes was a chore. So I put an RO line on a float valve and put it on a 20g tank. It auto fills and then I mix salt. I use a python hose to the sink to siphon 20g of...

Lol. I've only been in salt for 9 years. I once owned a fish store. I've done freshwater for 18 years now. It gets easier over time. However, there are situations that come up that still leave me stumped every now and then. I also learn something new on these forums every now and then. I stick...

Pictures of mandy's old 300g and her new 400g reef tanks would let you know, flower, that Mandy is not a novice in this hobby. With my new tank, I'll be changing filter socks every 3 days. Feeding every day. I'll change the GFO and carbon out monthly. A monthly 20g water change on my 75g tank...

I usually don't like to make political posts because there can be so many opinions and everyone thinks they are right... Today BATFE along with the Obama Administration has put together a proposed executive action that bans the sale of standard 5.56mm (.223) ammunition that is used in most AR15...
