    Calling all Coralife superskimmer owners (important, please read)

    There is little debate that Coralife has some of the best customer support in ANY industry. The adjustment knob leaking would be a huge problem that you have no control over. The O-ring under the collection cup is a different story. If you are removing the cup to empty it, STOP!!! The cup...

    I don't want to grow up . . .

    Nice choice, TangMan! I'm still partial to the full replica Repsol 1000RR, myself. But alas, there still isn't a chink in my 900RR's armor that would warrant me breaking out the checkbook- just YET.

    Bright Idea of Tire Reef Now Simply a Blight

    While there were initial hopeful reports, it was clear after a decade that the idea wasn't working. Sea creatures didn't grow on the tires. Today, the tires look the same as they did they day they were dropped. Tires that had been lashed together for stability broke loose, making it easier for...

    Bright Idea of Tire Reef Now Simply a Blight

    Can you say "OOOPS!!"? Officials Plan Recovery Off Florida Coast FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Now the idea seems daft. But in the spring of 1972, the dumping of a million or so tires offshore here looked like ecological enlightenment. From the scrap tires, artificial reefs would grow and fish would...

    Dap Aquarium Silicone

    The technical bulletin for it was last updated on 3/21/05, so it's been around at least a year and a half. The product itself is just 100% silicone rubber. DAP is great at marketing because they have at least a dozen different packages that they sell their silicone sealant in. My guess is...

    Moon Lights~PFO-Current-Coralife???????

    I also have a question about moonlights. My current lighting system is run by timers. Is there any PRACTICAL reason that moonlights would need to also be run on a timer and not just left on constantly?

    Pure-Flo RO unti question

    You probably have a correct cartridge, but you're most likely trying to put it in the wrong canister. Let me break it down for you. IN MOST CASES- The first stage is the micron sediment cartridge. This is a one piece unit that is made of only one material and can best be described as a tubular...

    RO/DI unit question

    Like I was leading to, the sediment filter will discolor as it pulls large gunk out before the water gets to your finer filters. If you ran it for 2 months and only have some spotting, I would have to say that your source water must be pretty clean of major large contaminants. BUT think of it...
