    High end air purifiers

    Hmmm, how exactly can I claim this on my taxes? This would be a good thing to know.

    High end air purifiers

    Thanks Tangman, I also found another site, consumersearchdotcom, that was a little helpful. I found a model that I'm interested in....the IQAir HealthPro Plus. I haven't read any bad reviews on it. Pros-everything I read says it works very well Cons-$795 plus shipping and the replacement filters...

    What's your favorite beer(s)?

    Lots of variety here...lots of beer I've drank myself and lots of beer I've never heard of. Like said above...about 10 posts ago, looks like the majority of us are into the "finer" beers. Still haven't gotten my hands on the 312. I was in San Diego a few months ago, I heard about the Arrogant...

    High end air purifiers

    Vanos, Thanks for your reply. I google searched and found mixed reviews as well. I believe they are all biased towards sales though because I found them off of retailer websites. I was told Oreck makes a good A.P. but the reviews weren't so good. My daughter just turned 2 years old. She does not...

    High end air purifiers

    My daughter has allergies and eczema. It has been recommeded that we invest in an air purifier. Looking to get a quality air purifier, I would like your suggestions. This is for the health of my girl and my home...I guess my fish tank would benefit as well. If money was not an issue here, what...

    I THOUGHT it was cycled?????

    Water changes You should mix your saltwater in a seperate container to give the salt mix a chance to dissolve completely before adding it to the tank. An even better practice is letting your saltwater mix "age" for a few days prior to adding it to your tank. Basically, mix your saltwater and...

    Heater on a timer?

    Chipmaker, Okay, the dial was set to 78 and my thermometer reads 81.6, once it shut off I raised the pin and rotated the dial to 82 and pushed pin back in. This is where I get confused. Hopefully now the heater knows that it's around 82...but I want the temp at 78 should I rotate the dial with...

    Heater on a timer?

    AW2X3, thanks for the stories...first one sad, second one great! Like I said, I have read some good and some bad stories on titanium heaters. My main concern is that they "shock" the tank when malfunctioning. I was just about to purchase a Won Brothers titanium heater until I read that it's not...

    I THOUGHT it was cycled?????

    I'm glad you read up on acclimation procedures, that's what it sounded like to me. As far as RO/DI units, it's not necessary to buy one that puts out a gazillion gallons per day, just go for quality and what works with your budget. I still haven't bought one, I'm in denial. I have been buying RO...

    Heater on a timer?

    Chipmaker, Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. Just got done working 12 hours...I'm really tired, especially after staying up all night Wednesday to smoke our Thanksgiving turkey (it was delicious) I'll try recalibrating the heater tomorrow.

    Heater on a timer?

    I contacted the manufacturer a few months ago and they wanted to me to send the heater in for repair...but I had to pay for shipping. The heater cost less than $20 so I kept it. I was going to buy a new heater, won brothers, but decided not to. I have tried adjusting it, I STILL might not be...

    Heater on a timer?

    I have an Ebo-Jager submersible heater. I have never been able to get it set right. It will come on and not go off sometimes leaving my tank at 85+ degrees. Currently it is not even in my aquarium but it needs to be. The winter is taking its toll on my house. Would it hurt anything to put the...
