Originally posted by dreeves I am thinking you should collect on what you can. What if you didnt have a grounding probe? There are many what ifs here. Did they ask for the unit to be returned so as they can inspect it and try and determine the cause (defective design, materials or what have...

I just received a call from Coralife's service manager, and he has offered to replace the fried 3x, with a new 6x unit, and has also asked me to let him know how the livestock fares through all of this... I was then asked to look through their website, to see what items I could use as...

Originally posted by Daniel411 Did your breaker/gfci outlet trip at all? Best of luck dealing with the manufacturer. I don't have a GFCI installed yet, and NO, the breaker on the power strip didn't trip!

My corals are slowly beginning to come out, and the fish have all relaxed and seem to be "stress free" once again, but it does appear that the 7 Turbo's and 2 Flame Scallops are definately going to die because of all of this... I did speak w/ Coralife quickly yesterday afternoon, and they are...

It's funny that Tony mentioned the Eco-Aqualizer, because I did buy it, and it is a joke, and it is going back, and I will get a 100% refund... So yes, I tried it, but I'm not out a dime for having done so! ;) I just got back from a quick run into the LFS for some charcoal, Amquel and a new...

Last Friday, I left town for 3 days to attend a business convention in New Orleans, and when I arrived home at approx 1:00am yesterday morning (Monday), I immediately looked in on the tank, and did a much needed water top-off. Since the lights were off, everything seemed normal, except I did...

Actually, my anenomes are eating like crazy, and growing like mad! I have discovered they greatly prefer to eat cubes of "Formula Angel", than either F1 or F2. When being fed FA, they seem to expell a lot less leftovers, and I've noticed a good color change in them. The 2 anenomes are perched...

Originally posted by Kipass4130 a little more about your tank crusty filtration, lighting, tank size did you test for Iron while you were dosing? Wet/dry with fuge, skimmer & sump -- 75 gallon RR -- 260 PC's I never ran a test for Fe. The instructions said 5ml/50 gallons once a week, but I...

Livestock: Snowflake Eel, Yellow Tang, Hippo tang, pair Tomatoe Clowns, Blue Damsel, pair Flame Scallops, Condi Anenome, Green Carpet Anenome, Yellow Coplonial Polyps, Brown Button Polyps, Zebra Mushrooms, 2 different species of Gorgonians, Flowerpot, 4 varrying species of Serpent Stars, and...

Originally posted by michael21 Will this sudden [Fe] increase affect or upset anything else in my tank ? I started slowly, then kept increasing the dosages over a period of several days. Once I hit about 3x recommended dosage, that's when the macro's kicked into overdrive, and the red slime...

For anyone that was unable to see the ((((( :D )) that I placed in the post, the $75/delivered comment was meant as a FREAKIN joke! Actually, a more realistic value would be closer to $225 for everything listed, so the person chastizing me is guilty for even thinking $150. ;)

$75 delivered! Do you take PayPal..? :D

It aids and strengthens the stronger macros species, so they win the battle of survival... It's like spraying weed killer on your lawn... While enough of it would kill all of the plants, a certain amount will only harm the less hearty ones.

Get a "Queen Conch" and be done with it! ;)

You could also dose w/ a lot of iron, increase your photo-period, and litertally burn it out. ;) I tried everything imaginable to get rid of a terrible red slime outbreak, and the only thing that actually worked, was using 3x doses of "Kent Fe" and increasing the lights to 18 hours. After 3-4...

It's not possible to have varrying salinity readings in different areas of the tank, unless you are just adding salt to the tank itself, and it's not completely dissolved. Furthermore, even if this is the case, power heads would fix that in a hurry!

Originally posted by Daniel411 Do they even have a basic training on taking care of the animals, for their employees? Saltwater Boot Camp "I need 6 volunteers for latrine duty... You soldiers standing in the back line had better have brought fresh carbon and new filter pads with you, or it...

I have mine setup free standing in the sump, under 8' of water, and have REMOVED the pre-filter, as it restricted flow. It does operate better w/ less water, but it's a price we have to pay for attempting to save $50 on what is quite possibly the single most important piece of equipment in the...

Just buy more tanks, connect them together, put a really huge pump at one end, and it would be just like a raceway at a hatchery... ;)

I've always been fond of Rainbow Trout...
