Yes, I would vaccum the CC during water changes. It will do more good then harm. Distilled water should not contain ammonia unless it has been contaminated some how.

Generally 10% a month. It varies though depending on the system conditions. If I feel like more water changes are needed to keep things in balance I will do them.

Avg temp = 82 Avg SG = 1.023 55 reef with corals, fish, and inverts.

Looking good. I like that big rock in the center. I can picture some really nice corals sitting on that sucker now. :cool:

jhead, Almost anywhere that sells the meters will sell the cal solutions also. The most common are 4 - 7 - 10. For aquarium use 4 is used for FW and 10 is used for SW while 7 can be used for both. Search around the cal solutions are easy to find.

Some meters are single calibration and some are dual point calibration. The dual point meters tend to be more accurate. The is storage solution specifically made for pH probes. Try searching some of the lab equipment web sites.

Josh, First you will need a network adaptor for the PS2. I goy mine at EB for $40. Next hopefully your broadband modem, either cable or DSL will have an ether net connection, most of them do now. Now you can either connect the PS2 straight to the modem or better yet through a router if you have...

Looks nice !!!!

We had the original pong game growing up. You know, the one that started it all. Then we had the atari 2600 and then the 5200. I had a collecovision also. I had the commadore 64 and 128, programming sprites was alot of fun wasnt it? And then came the Nintendo's and also the Sega Genesis. After...

Too maintain that bright yellow they must have greens in there diet.

I dont have experience with the floating type but can tell you from experience with the swing arms they will go bad over time. I recently purchased a refractometer and would highly recommend them to anyone. They are coming down in price to an affordable range. I got mine for $69.

You talking about a Chromis (black + yellow) or Pseudochromis (purple + yellow)? Some chromis are just like damsels and we all know how damsels can be. MEAN!!!!! Pseudochromis can be mean but are usualy OK if given places to hide. If you have decent amounts of LR this fish will kind of hide most...

No leaks at all. It was awhile back so I cant remember all the details of the cut I made, I just remember I didnt need to cut too much and I just kind of expanded the hole that is already there. Also if anyone is interested I added extra lighting so I could start keeping some of the low light...

Yep bigger is better as far as water stability goes. The catch with a new person to the hobby is bigger is way more expensive. IMO before buying a large setup be sure that this hobby is really for you and that you will be able to keep up with the maintenance. The fact is many people come and go...

As viper12775 mentioned it is a seaclone. Many people bash the seaclone for not working but as you can see by the picture mine is working nicely. The picture is from a 29 a had set up for years. I have now moved to a 55 and still run the seaclone.

I used aluminum tape from HD. Works great and very easy to use.

I ran one for awhile myself. Just a little minor cutting was all that was needed to make the skimmer fit.

$.25 a gallon at a vending machine. RO, UV, Carbon and other filtration. I couldnt ask for any better water for the price.
