    SWF Customer Service

    hmmmmm maybe those hermits were hungry! Usually it works the ohter way around., On some items like cheap old hermits or snails they usually throw in a few exctra at no charge, not take away a few extra at the same charge.....;-) I'm sure they will straighten things out thugh.

    Fission Nano Skimmer Review Needed

    I dunno abut the Sapphire line of skimmers. New one on me. I have never seen any reviews or comments on them in all the forums I frequent, and this is the first I have seen them mentioned. For the cost, and what little is divulged about them, I think I would have to wait awhile before I was...

    ? on feather dusters

    And just because its n a sand bed does ot preclude it not attaching itself to the glass bottom either. I have had them go thorugh 3 to 4 inches of sand and becopmre attached to the tank bottom., I prefer to keep em on or in the rock work myself, as it leaves less of a chance for some burrowing...

    drain line on ss65

    With some of the crud yu see n a collection cup, air line is oging to be very quick to clog up a drain line. Best bet is if your dead set on adding a drain line is to go to a big box store and get a fitting that is called a hose barb to male adapter. It will be on a rack in little plastic bags...

    Drilling Holes in live Rock

    Just use a larger or bigger heavier rocks on the bottom and spread em out somewhat. How to do it all depends on the desired finished shape of what your stacking up. Sort of wider at bottom with larger rock. and then work it in smaller and then use lighter flater or wider pieces pieces to...

    Question about ricordia mushrooms??

    I like ricordea, and find the florida to be slower growoing than the yuma. My preference is florida, and they do like higher light levels than a shroom normally does. They do well under PC or other florescent lights like HO or VHO. You can tell if they are lacking sufficient light as they strt...

    drain line on ss65

    IMHO a drain line needs to be much larger diameter wise than air line tube, as its easy to clog it up with junk that gets pulledout. I had thught long an dhard about adding an external line to drain my 65's and have yet to hook em up on the 125 and 220 models. I am here all the time anyhow and...

    Fission Nano Skimmer Review Needed

    Can't really see how they would remove pods, or all the so called essential elements a its been proven that its pretty well impossible to overskim. IMHO a skimmer is even a better idea on a smaller tanksa water quality can go to he double ell in a heart beat. Folks also tend to try and fit a...

    Drilling Holes in live Rock

    Yes live rock is very easy to drill and no special masonary bit is needed. The thing is if yu can buy a masonary bit, often times they are longer overall than most metal cutting HSS drillbits so that may help plus masonary drill bits are dirt cheap. Before y drill yur holes, find out what yur...

    pschysophrenic skimmer

    It would really be informative if there was a brand and model connected to said sick skimmer. If its a seaclown or jebo, it may be best to put it down and have a burial for it! ;-)

    Fission Nano Skimmer Review Needed

    As with other full sized skimmers there is quite a big variation on worth on this little skimmer. I have three and they do work but water level i the tank needs to be dead constant for them to work right.....so ATO is mandatory for best results and fewer headaches. Evenw ith ATO yur gonna get...

    Powerhead raised temperature

    yep, watts is watts, makes no matter how its consumed.powering a pump or powerhead, cooking the food in the micro wave or chilling the tank down or lighting up the room or powering that radio. It still gives off a set temp for each watt produced. Thats one of the neat things about electricity...

    Mandarin Dragonet - Spotted and flatworms

    If your tanak does not have a sufficient supply of pods to keepo the madarin going long term my suggestion is try returning it. I can't say they do or don't eat flat worms, but my flatworm population never got smaller when I had one in my larger tank, and he too passed up those flatworms. I...

    Powerhead raised temperature

    The reason for those dsifferences is just how close they care to testa nd label the product. A wind or two more may make it produce .1 watt less in heat, so in all rality a better PH may put off 39.9 watts and a poor quality one 40.2 watts, but they get rounded off to 40 just the same. It takes...

    Thinking about buying a nano

    I think you need to go back and read your spec sheet as its 100% glass.......its light because that glass is fairly thin. If yur scratching that glass so easy I would highly recomend keeping a close eye on that setup as its a disater waiting to happen. It only takes minut scratches to make the...

    Thinking about buying a nano

    Since when did Aqua Pod change the round corner glass to acrylic? Inquiring minds want to know. All the AP's at both lfs here are still glass and I have read nothing on the tank itself being acrylic. Cracking is still an issue with them from what I read on the other nano cube forum and have not...

    Anyone ever had side effects from Amquel?

    I am not a chemist, but would have serious doubts it was caused by Amquel....at least not if the proper amounts etc were used. Amquel is probably one of the largest used products out there for coinditioninig water. I used to know what the main ingredient in it was but can't recall right now...
