they were late opening... you may be right... but I bought the tank and stand somewhere else. I'll probably buy small items from them and just be business like, nothing else...

New LFS in Plainfield, Illinois. Grand opening supposed to be last saturday(Sept 24).... I know there are two sides of the story - here's mine. 2 weeks before opening a brand new store in my area, one that I've been waiting for for 10 years, I walk up to the store and ask to talk to the owner...

I just mixed a batch of Instant Ocean - measured the C the next day and got 550. Mixed a 5 gal bag of Oceanic, measured 760.

As in my other thread - I'm very concerned with the extreme calcium levels Oceanic gives. I fear that a lot of saltwater hobbyist that use this salt have failures over time, causing us to purchase more livestock as time goes on. Provides of lot of purple color at first, but in the long run...

Barry - what kind of calcium readings are you getting with Oceanic?

Not yet.... been busy with "life".... ha.. Will later this week...

I have a solution. I haven't read all the posts so this might be redundant. Give her $10,000 and tell her she can do whatever she wants with it. Then take $10,000 for yourself. Buy $5,000 worth of aquarium stuff and a plasma TV (TV is for the family ). Stick rest in bank and tell her your...

I didn't think that high calcium levels would kill soft corals either - until I went to the Shedd Aquarium one day and had a chat with a keeper. She told me that very high calclium levels over long periods of time will do damage or even kill soft corals. She used the example of "thats how we...

Will do Bang btw - measured calcium on fresh - less than 100.. and - the measurements I take are well after ... like the next day... or even later. When I measure my tank its over 650 and I add no supplements... this is weeks after a water change....

how'd u get 10dkh out of 2.5?

What kind of water Rick? - RO, tap?... wait - you said 350 fresh and salt? That doesn't seem right.

I've had a Seaclone 100 and a I now have a 150. My Seaclone 100 leaked but I put silicone in the attachment knob and stopped that. I was given a 150 and it never leaked. It works great. However, 1 word of caution, do not let the air hose drop down, you'll have a nice puddle of water on the floor...

Originally Posted by Bang Guy In my humble opinion I wouldn't use a salt that mixes up at over 500ppm of calcium at normal salinity. That's just asking for trouble. I agree... So.... I want to do a test of calcium on new batches using different brands. So far Oceanic gives me well over 700. I...

Reading of over 700, sorry for not posting that. I say over 700 because the water just started to turn after 35 drops, and I stopped. It was Oeanic again. I'll do a yet another test tonight on Instant Ocean and reverify my readings..
