If you left the pin out, turning the knob does not change the heat range. Pull the pin, turn the knob all the way up, replace pin, then turn knob all the way down, it should shut off. If not , then email the company (address is on the paperwork) and they may be able to help. Mine are working as...

Try to get her to spend some time on this site too, as well as other ones. Most Important, don't get any fish yet.

I used Jaegers years ago and they were top of the line then. just recently bought 4 200w eheim-jaegers, using 2 in my 125 and 1 in a 30 qt and had a few setup problems but they are working fine now. Do not bother going by the dial. I had to recalibrate all three of them (haven't even taken the...

also check that water for ammonia, we got some distilled water from walmart that tested .5 on ammonia, but 0 for phosphates. Just .02

Made ours out of some automotive gr effects lights. They are blue leds and I hooked up a 12 volt ac-dc transformer to them.

We've got reds, greens, yellows, and multi-colored fd's that came on the live rock. They are small (<1/2 "diameter) and they just grow here and there. Give it time and you should start seeing them eventually if you have LR. A lot of ours looks like Marshall Is LR, but we have some fiji and fl...

Google some articles by Randy Holmes-Farley, and google sulfur denitrification. Good articles there.

Check out your local home improvement store for Intermatic model#DT-17 digital timers. They do run on 2 small watch batteries, but have no current overflow and a relay inside so they don't harm flourescent ballasts. We have 5 of these on 3 different tanks and they are great. Only paid 17.99 each...

Also use a 20 for a sump, but drilled a hole and installed a bulkhead near the top and run an overflow line to a bucket just in case.

77F constant controlled by 2-200w eheim-jaegers. Don't have MH lights, but run 480watts of no and compact flourescents

Am currently using a DIY kalkreaktor inline with my topoff water. I have an auto-topoff setup (DIY) that when the float drops to allow water into the system, it first goes through the reactor and gets saturated with limewater. I do not add any vinegar to the water yet. Ph stays at 8.4, and due...

what kind of jawfish do you have?

We've got one on our 125 reef and the water does stay clear, but I really don't know for sure if it is actually working or not. The fish are healthy, and the corals look good. Still got 140 some days left on the warranty, so I'll give it at least most of that and see what happens. It was just...

foods: seaweed, romaine lettuce, a garlic mixture I make, frozen blood worms, frozen krill, frozen artemia, frozen mysis shrimp (we like to give a variety to our yellow tang, powder blue tang, royal gramma, lawnmower, mandarin, jawfish, clarkii's, scooter blenny, neon goby's,sixline wrasse...

Use a garlic press to strain it down as fine as you can get it, or puree it in a blender, then I mix it with hikari freeze dried artemia, and ground freeze dried ocean plankton. The fish LOVE it.
