    Hanna TDS reading

    Mine reads that sometimes in my mixing bucket. I'm sure it's from residual salt. Rinse your buckets really well and see if that takes care of it.

    How Do you add that Pic under your screen name?

    Did this work. This was the best small thing I could find. I cropped and then resized but all my picture were too small. I think there is just too many pixels. I found a pic from the internet on my computer and I was able to have like 1/4 of the picture but I didn't like it. This will do...

    How Do you add that Pic under your screen name?

    Ok I see where to do this but how do you and others get such detailed pictures with only 110 by 100 pixels??? When I resize a picture I have on file I only get the smallest square that I can't even fit a head shot in.

    things in sand?

    I'm suprised to hear that crabs are bad. What do you use instead of crads to clean all the other hard-for-a-snail-to-reach-places? I can't have Shrimp right now since my Green Brittle Star makes sushi out of them. I do need more cleanup crew in my refigium/sump. That is where I have the...

    Explain where your user name originated

    ALexander meaning "Helper of People" = AREIJIN in Japanese Kanji. I got this name when I lived there as an exchange student from my Shodo (Japanese Caligraph) teacher. The best part about it is that I will never need to add number at the end of it

    things in sand?

    Well I can see worm lines but there is still a lot of air bubbles and dense coloration. I know for a fact that I need more snails. I heard that the Nassarius were the sand sifting ones. Other then those snails is there other Sand cleanup crew that I should buy?

    help, i'm dying

    I totally agree with these guys. I have five pwer heads running for a good flow plus the return pump. There is an attachment you can put on the end of the return pump called a circle flow assembly under plumbing parts. I think this is the same place you found that hood lights since I was...

    I agree but that is the only picture I have of a sump. Actually it's not mine. I pinched it from somebody on SWF but I think it is a good setup and plan to redo mine in this style next time.

    IS this Live Sand of Algea Sand???

    I plan to keep it for a while at least. Just make sure you decide yourself, and if you go the DSB route, make sure you know how to maintain you DSB and tank. It is different than using system without a DSB. What is the maintains??? My one problem is that my substrate is SUPER fine. Finer then...

    I'm no expert but an overflow box is two boxes that hang on your tank. One inside and one outside. You use "U" shaped tube to suck the water that "overflows into the box in your tank over the lip of your tank and into the next box. Yes water does have this strange ability to flow upwards as...
