    RO Question

    Mine came with a saddle that sits on the copper tubing supply line. The first time you close the valve all the way it punctures the tubing and you have supply water. It should also come with a saddle that will sit on your PVC drain line. This is where the waste water from the RO goes. The last...

    water change for curing tank?

    This brings up a few questions. I'm curing 100lbs live rock in my new display tank right now. Its been in there since March 31st. Yesterday I did water tests and I do believe the cycle has completed b/c Ammon=0, trites=0, and trates were about 5-10. I was lead to believe you CAN cycle a new tank...

    Cheapest Compact Flo lights?

    I was at Lowe's this past weekend and noticed alot of different ballasts were available. They are rated for individual bulb types. So what type of bulb is a power compact? The prices were great assuming they can fire 1,2 or more power compacts. Anyone have a link or knowledge on all the...

    Anyone who has ever been stung. . .

    I got a relly good sting from a sebae anemone in my first tank. At first I didnt really realize it was happening. After awhile my arm muscles started to burn, but that was it for the day. The next morning I got up to go to work and ended up being VERY sick. Vomiting and other unwanted bodily...

    New Plate coral

    I noticed the male clown was "testing the water" last night and I think he might have got a bit of a sting the way he swam off. I've had these clowns for a little over a year and thay dont seem to like anything in the tank(various polyps, shrooms, leathers and now the plate.) Oh well, I just...

    New Plate coral

    I picked up a green long tentacle plate today at the lfs. He seems to be doing well. I'm curious if they are known to host clowns? I've got a mated pair of saddlebacks that dont seem too interested, so I'm curious of others experiences with this lps. Mini-Reefer

    I think i am making a mistake on Ebay

    Hey H2O. Is the retro setup a dual 55 watt with one daylight and one actinic bulb that ended for $81.00? If so you went just a little higher on your bid than I wanted to go on my bid for it. Not too many PC retros on there anymore, mostly full light strips. Might see ya at the next auction...

    Seaclone skimmer question

    I've got a seaclone on a 29 fo and I have never liked it. I've also got an amiracle SL-5 on a 34 gallon soft coral reef, its alright I guess. I'm curing rock in a new 72 right now and using an in-sump Berlin turbo. Its great! Very quite, easy to adjust and it pulls out lots of crap. It also came...

    where is the best lfs in wichita kansas

    I personally dont like the cove. Almost all their livestock looks sickly, corals and fish. The one "reef" setup had more dying corals than thriving corals the last time I was in there. The staff always knows more than you, no matter the topic. And last but not least their prices are high...
