    comments on your Live Fish Store

    My lfs is a mom & pop operation which they all should be. They have one large DT where nothing is for sale, only show. More than one of those would be nice. A corporate store that closed used to have 2 or 3 90gal reefs as displays that they cycled their livestock through. Someone from corporate...

    Dry goods that SWF should stock

    R-O filters, DI resin. Phos removers and reactors. I would rather support this site than any other.

    Stinky rocks?

    It can be pretty bad. I had it in my garage during the warmer months and the garage stunk, I think that is an indication that you need to change the water.

    Protein Skimmer Help

    Hey 2k4, do you have a tuner box on your dmax? I had a juicebox on mine and it woke it up big time. If you try it you'll like it. Go to dieselplace dot com and dieselpage dot com, both are full of good information. Have you done the high idle mod yet?

    Two Skimmers at once?

    Al Mc so both of your skimmers are not in the DT? What do you use for powerheads and what size tank are you running? Ikemeyer are you running two because you have lots of gunk floating around? Do you run a sump? how do they perform. Any pics?

    Protein Skimmer Help

    Two Skimmers at once?

I have lots of "floating debris" in my DT and it settles before it makes it out the corner overflow. (90g aga RR)...

    BAD BUBBLE PROBLEMS (not the skimmer) w/pics

    OK, so in 8 hrs or so I'll post my h2o parameters (when I get home from work). I have bubbles rising up from the SB. These were not occuring when I had the crappy CF lights. (or maybe they were---I can't remember I'm soo confused.)

    BAD BUBBLE PROBLEMS (not the skimmer) w/pics

    I have got the same bubble problem, I added MH lighting in December. My tank looks worse than yours, I didn't even think about shortening the MH lighting duration. My lights are 7 inches or so off the water. It is an outer orbit 2x250MH w 4 x 65 t-5 actinic. I am bummed, algae outbreak...

    Light Heating Problem-Need Advice

    I have the same fixture, it was a big step up from the t-8 it replaced. Wait till you go to a quality MH fixture, it will blind you. For the money Odesey are a decent stepping stone, don't use their bulbs when it comes time to replace them. Buy a good quality bulb. I have since moved on to an...

    Are Bubbles A Bad Thing????

    So if the bubbles are due to low oxygen, how do you put oxygen into your water? Doesn't your skimmer put the air in?

    What is your favorite "fish name" and why?

    When I first began, I had a few @@%$#&^ Damsels. The biggest one was named "DIESEL" by my (then) 6 yr old. He was always bullying his way around the tank. He soon turned into a pizza topping.
