Nuts, you'd think something like that existed. I'd love to get alerts on my phone if something went out of whack.

Does anyone know of a quality tank water quality detector which can be controlled/monitored by google hub?

I ended up getting the Reef Octopus HOB-100, it has a 3" hook on it, so if anyone else has this problem, this is the guy to get, just $200 here.

I have an Aqueon 75g tank, and this tank has a thick lip on top, measuring about 1.25". No skimmer I've found can fit over the lip, and I need a skimmer badly. Can anyone recommend a skimmer which is sold here? I'm ready to buy today from this site only. Thanks, Richard

Clams have photosensitive cells on their mantels as has been said; starfish have them on their legs. These are primitive eyes and are thought to have been a major contribution to the pre-Cambrian explosion (sighted predators, albeit not clams specifically). Science is cool :)

Not a good idea, distilled water is typically obtained by way of copper pipes, so you can introduce copper into your tank that way. Wal-Mart has drinking water (green cap) which will work just fine.

Yes they can. It might have had a meal or may be agitated, but it should open up soon enough.

Well, your pH is way too low and your calcium is a bit high. Try doing a water change with a good salt mix and see if that helps.

Go with the 250W, it's what I have on my 125. And I recommend 4 of them to eliminate dark areas.

You can hang the new lights or use legs, which should come with the lights.

The marine glo and aqua glo are still crappy bulbs with no usable output. You'll need to remove the hoods and get some good lighting.

Why, I think he's got it! Welcome to reef keeping! The fish eat better than we do :)

Looks good so far! Make sure you post more pics of the rockwork.

Airhose isn't likely good enough, I'd go full steam with a powerhead. But yes, they'll be just fine. How large is your tank?

Well, you'll need actinic lighting as well, so you could get the MH for your primary lighting and the T5s for actinic purposes. That's what I do :)

If you need to cut down on the light, get some screen, such as the stuff in a screen door, and place it in layers over the top of the tank to filter the light. I hope the best for ya!
