Never heard of such a thing and sometimes it is hard to trust a LFS. On the other hand sometimes things like that have unforeseen side effects. Keep us posted and let us know any more info you may find on the subject.

Beecher, I know the feeling. Beautiful blue is the color of my cude walls. Ahhh what a view.

Tanks are almost the same price no mater where you go. When I was looking for a 55 the biggest price difference I seen was $10. I finally got mine at a very small local store for $69. I believe he sells his 75's for $109. Not too bad of a price. The store is in WPB off of 10th AVE. A little bit...

Brown algae most of the time, not always, is diatoms. Does it look like a dust or thin film? Is your setup a newer setup, less then 4 months old? If so odds are it is diatoms you are referring to. Diatoms are common in newer setups and require silicates to survive. If no more silicates are added...

The biowheels are designed to harbor beneficial bacteria that will break down ammonia and nitrite. I do not see how in anyway that process will deter the effectiveness of your LSB.

Red slime / cyanobacteria can be killed easily with an antibiotic much like the product mentioned above. The only draw back is you will be killing some of the benificial bacteria as well.

I would replace the old bio wheels for some new ones, same as the filter pad. The standard lighting on the eclipse is somewhat week. I started my reef with the standard 2 bulbs but it just wasnt enough. I added 2 more standard bulbs for a total of 4 and ran my system that way for several months...

A newly cycled tank is very delicate. If there is no ammonia source available for a period of time the nitrifying bacteria will eventually die. Giving a period of about 4 days I do not think there will be a problem. When the new fish are introduced however I would not be surprised to see a "miny...

About 10% once a month.

I would not worry about it. High nitrates at the end of a cycle is normal although some like myself do not get a nitrate spike.

I have added rock slowly to my tank in the past without any complications. I just add a few pieces of fully cured rock at a time. No trick to it at all other then making sure it is cured and placing it in the tank in a timely manner similar to fish.

Very nice thanks. I like making spreadsheets myself. I have made some for work that are so complex they took days to put together. Excell is a very powerful yet fairly easy to use tool.

The K value should at least be 5500 but a higher value would look alot better.

Darn snow birds !!!! HA! :D Just kidding !!! Hope ya have fun.

Sometimes a letter will work other times they will not. Once I wrote a letter to the EPYX software company about a defective product and had a software engineer call and ask about the problem. New software was sent out and also a postage paid envelope so I could return the defective product back...

If you just bought your seaclone new there is a great chance that it is a newer model and will require no modifications to work great. I have one on a 55 and am very happy with it. It does make a little noise however. There was another member on this board that made a very simple but excellent...

Here is one commonly used when you are gone for awhile, come back home, and see the tank for the first time. HCWHTMT Holy Crap What Happened To My Tank. :D

I work for a large cell phone company and as stated above it all depends on who makes the phone. Although almost all of the newer phones will have a downloadable option. H2O, Motorola has what is called a language pack that is loaded into many phones. You probably over wrote that portion of the...
