ive tested for nitrates before on our water and the tester didnt show any trace of nitrates. maybe there are just small negligible amounts. i should test the filtered tap water though, your right. but im sure its still not filtered as well as an ro/di unit will get it right?

i have a tap water filter and i still have the algea bloom. thats why im thinking RO. I hate it to. :mad:

im in the market for one also and recommendations are leading me to the typhoon III to. wheres the best place to get one? the manufactures website or is there another site?:happyfish

that sounds like a cool idea fishamajig. question. since we all share similar water quality, i was wondering what everyone uses for their tank water. i was thinking about getting an RO/DI unit. does anyone else use one?

let me know what you think of these places in comparision to your two that you go to. Id love to go check out that place in huntington and the other one if you think they are good.

i was looking at some macro algea in the tank and i noticed a bunch of little critters that resemble lice. i noticed they were all over it. i looked at the rest of the tank and i see they are all over!!!! must be thousands of little lice look alikes. please some one tell me is this good or...

what have you guys found to be a good place for finished stands? im thinking about getting a 90gal.

i think they enjoy snacking on anything new (anything in their diet that is). perhaps if the shrimp were there before the tusk, and the tusk may consider it part of his home. i had a domino damsel with my tusk for 2 years. every time i tryed adding a blue devil damsel, well bye bye. i tried...

its funny how everyone always wants bigger than what they got. when you decide to upgrade the tank, you then think to go bigger than what your first planning to upgrade to. anyway, im reading posts on lighting a 75 gal. im concidering sending back my aqualight (2x96W pc) for MH. Now it...

i currently have a 45gal. the lighting is a lunar aqualight. has 2x96W cp flourecents (a 10,000k and an actinic)[and lunars but that not important]. with a 45 gal this gives me 4.26W/gal. i was looking to start a reef tank. Since i just got them and i now see a local sale on a 75 gal, i am...

its funny when your in the hobby your really are willing to travel around to see the stores. reading you guys made me not feel so weird about that. im in east meadow. any way ill agree country critters is good selection, healthy, overpriced. btj same. there is a new one in carle place just...

btw- the harlequin will always be my favorite fish. awsome addition. looks deadly, but really a peaceful fish.

i wouldnt worry about it. i had a harlequin once that was about 4inches with a serpent star that was about 3 inches. they were fine together. once day when the star started to go upside down every day (i think thats when they are dieing or starving, dont know cuz he wasnt eating anything i...

bump

so you keep the actintics on all day?

i have a 45 gal tank and it has been up for 3 years now. i recently have added new lighting. aqualights i think they are called. its a 96watt 10,000k cp flourecent and a 96watt actintic with 2 moon leds. it has 3 plugs to power each light set. i want to add timers to each plug so they go...

since tangs are algea eaters (im targeting naso and powder blue for my use), will they attack a lettuce nudibrach thinking its algea?

i want to know if a volitan lion would eat a nudibranch. i think it sounds like an "of course" question but i was thinking that maybe it doesnt move in a way that would entice the lion. Id rather be safe and find out from the pros than waste an animal. so....whats the answer

my chocolate chip star is starting to look alittle pale. only a little though. i noticed that two of his center horns have the outter layer of the thick skin chipped. and the same for the tip of one of him arms. parameters are fine. what is this and what causes this. what can i do? this...

you know, if we keep treating ich in our hobby, how does it keep coming back? if you say that ich is not very common in the ocean, then how do you aquire it in the hobby if we are not bringing it in from the ocean. using everyone theories, perhaps its that ich is everywhere and never...
