    question about a hydrometer

    Funny you should ask, I was having the same problem and after doing some research, I decided to purchase a refractometer off that big site you bid on. I got mine for $25. Just make sure it says RHS and ATC. Mine works great best thing I could have done.

    Question about timers

    I recently purchased the coralife digital power center with 2 daytime and 2 nighttime outlets. The problem I have is the timer is set to auto like the directions say but the daytime actinics do not turn on. Does anyone have ideas about how this works or what timer I should purchase that does work.

    Anyone have a puffer in a reef?

    I have a valentini puffer in my tank with coral and shrimp and the valentini does not bother anything in my tank. I use to have a blue dot puffer and it also did not bother my coral. Just feed it some brine shrimp to keep it's teeth dull.

    Reference to gift certificates

    Has anyone ever used a gift certificate from this site to purchase fish or coral and if so how long till you received your order. I placed my order on november 29 and have yet to here anything.

    What did you pay for Xenia

    I paid $49.99 for two stalks. At the time I thought it was nice looking but later discovered it took over my whole tank. I spent hours each week tearing that crap out and it just grew back. Finally it all died and I'm so happy. Out some money but that's what happens when you don't do research on it.

    SWF.com's live rock

    I just recieved an order of 45lbs of live rock on Wednesday. When I opened the box I was very disappointed, because there was only one big piece of rock and the rest was small. Not to mention all the loose gravel that had broken off during shipping. I purchased rock before off another site and...

    Camera Choices...Arrrgh!! HELP?!?

    I use the Canon Rebel at home and when working at the FD we carry the Nikon D70 on the Engine. My preference is the Canon over the Nikon, both have their pros and cons. It mainly comes down to how much you want to spend.

    Canon EOS Rebel XT Users?

    On my Canon Rebel I mainly use the P program. You will need to play your camera to determine what iso setting you prefer. I find that if it is bright go with 100 or 200 and dark 800 or maybe 1600. If taking close ups in your fish tank try the picture with the flower on it. That seem's to work...
