Can anyone suggest any particular brands of digital water testing meters? Or, if they are even worth spending the money for. I would like to know who has what brands, and for testing what parameters of their water. Let me know how much you paid for each one, and if there are any websites that...

I am no expert, but low Ph levels make water look very, very clear...it is pretty hard to keep things alive in an acidic tank though!

Bigger?

Check out the pic of what I did. My words are failing me!

Opps, on the previous post I meant to say "front-right corner of the bio-wheel box". Sorry for any confusion.

NOOOO! I did not remove the bio-wheel box. I only removed the flat plastic piece that extends from the front-left corner of the bio-wheel box across to the right inside of the hood. Maybe if you have one of the smaller Eclipse hoods you do not have the extra space to the right of the bio-wheel...

Dale how did you add the skimmer to the eclipse? <hr></blockquote> I have a Red Sea Berlin Airlift 60 Skimmer. It is designed to fit in the tank...with the collection cup and about 3/4" of the tube to be above the water line. If you look at the Eclipse 3 hood while the back lid is open, you will...

No, I meant most only recomment 3/4"-1", that 4-6" would cause problems with anearobic oxygenless water pockets. Thanks

Yes, against the recommendations of just about everyone....I have a 4" bed of sand. It is a mixture of 40# of non-cc substrate and 20# of live sand from a prepackaged sealed "wet" bag. It has been in there for over a months now and the water looks great, even with only 2-3# of LR...which...

My tank is 6 weeks into cycle. The amonia is reading 0, as well at the Nitrite. Nitrates are around 5. I have 20# of live sand and about 3# of live rock right now. I have 30# ($112 shipping included) of caribbean live rock that will be here friday, but I have a feeling that it will have a lot of...

Good question...unfortunately I do not have an answer; however, I too had a once "live" rock that was boxed up for a year after I tore tank down. I set the "live" rock out on the patio to dry out for a week then packed it into storage. I recently started my new tank and placed this rock in the...

I just bought some DT Live Phytoplankton for my new reef tank. It is a very new tank....2 months old. I have 2 small damsels, 30# of live rock and 20# of live sand... and I wanted to know if it is really worth putting live phytoplankton in a tank that does not yet have inverts in it? Will the...

I am setting up a quarantine tank. Please give me some ideas on what has been successful for you. I was thinking of using a small 3 gal or 6 gal eclipse set up...has anyone tried these. Also give me your thoughts on whether to do a bare bottom tank capable of medicine applications, or whether...
