    vho retrofit question

    I have used a similar set up for 3 years and love it. I purchased an extra ARO ballast so I could run actinics an hour before and an hour after white lights came on. I used URI bulbs which have built in reflectors and skipped the reflector that came with the kit. I used 2 actinics and 2 50/50...

    Any frags in south florida?

    I have 10-12 small toadstool leather frags each mounted on small piece of LR. They are green body with long yellow tenticles. I also have 2 or 3 regular brown long tenticle leather toadstool frags also mounted on LR. One of them has two on one rock. I'm in Fort Lauderdale if you are interested.

    Nascar Fans I need advice

    Vegas is a great place to see a race. the track was re-built last year with variable banking and will likely make for a good race. the pits in Vegas are the best anywhere. Pit passes to the neon garage are only $10 for the truck race, they were like $150 for the cars last march. Pay the $10...

    Refractometer Help

    fwiw, I don't think they can test salinity either. I think a refractometer can only test the refractive index of the fluid placed on the prism (the bend in the light). The refractive index is then applied to a formula to come up with a salinity or sg in the case of units sold for use in the...

    FS: 20 gal long w/ stand and Eclipse 3 Hood in S. Fla.

    This is a 20 gal long with black pine stand and Eclipse 3 hood. I upgraded the lights from the stock twin tube normal output lights to the SunPak 65 watt 50/50 bulb PC retro kit. This tank was used for less than 2 years as a QT and frag tank. It never had sand in it so it has no scratches and...

    Maintaining a QT

    you can simply feed fish food as if you had fish in it to keep the bacteria colony active, you can use the QT for all new corals and LR before going into the display, and I keep a couple of peppermint shrimp and a piece of live rock (I remove both when I use it for QT) in mine and feed them.

    When to change DI

    According to a popular manufacturer's site, a full size DI cartridge should process 6,800 ppm. Divide your RO output into 6800 for how many gallons until replacement. i.e. if your RO output is 20 ppm, 6800 divided by 20 equals 340 gallons. An inline slim DI will process half of what a full...

    My RO/DI water stinks. Help

    you shouldn't have any odor in a new unit but you may want to check the output water with a tds meter. When the DI resin starts to unload you will get a strong pungent rotten egg like smell. If the unit is causing the smell it is more likely the DI rather than the membrane. Also check the...

    bad test kits

    YES. I had same exact issue with both kits. I have never had a replacement Salifert pH kit that was the same as the previous so I eliminated testing for pH and got a pH probe. My new Alk test showed 11.8 dkh vs. my old kit of 8.6. I was disappointed after reading all the hype about salifert test...

    Question about Hypo

    I have had several discussions with Beth and posted several times on this topic. I somewhat disagree with Beth's instructions and find them a little confusing. I would not simply "closely monitor" ph. It will drop and will need to be adjusted. Why wait until it drops? What is too much of a...

    Confused about my AquaC skimmer and mag3

    maybe you can post a pic? the pump goes in the left side of the box. the input of the pump points toward the right side. There is an indention in the left side of the box where the intake of the pump sits. The output faces straight up and is attached to the clear tubing. It shouldn't be tight...

    Inconsistant salt brands

    I don't think you got a bad batch! I too switched to TM Pro and get the same results. I will be switching to cheaper salt when this bucket is done. I figure if I have to dose, I might as well save on the salt.

    Power Outages

    Even if your not at home you can use a battery powered air bubbler. I have 3 Plenn Plax Silent Airs in my 2 tanks. They run on battery but plug into your A/C outlet. They come on automatically when power goes out providing air and water movement to the tank. When power returns they turn off...
