    Nothing said in the directions about using a calibration fluid but did say to use r/o or distilled water. :thinking:

    Refractometer / Hydrometer Test

    A few friends put them to the test today. With the Deep Six water tested at 1.023 With the Instant Ocean 1.028 and with my new Refractometer from Saltwaterfish.com 1.030. Now which one do you trust to be most accurate? I know some say the number is not as important as keeping it constant. I...

    Sapphire Aquatics 14" HOB Refugium

    I have seen somewhere that Sapphire is about to release a 14" refugium with a built in skimmer. Great for you 14g Bio Cubers but should fit on back of the Aquapod 12g well aslo. So we can have a refugium and a skimmer all in one to go on are all in one tanks!!! Are they really all in ones...

    AquaC Nano Remora Protein Skimmer For 12g Aquapod

    There is no middle chamber because there are four sections. It looks like only 3 but there are 4. Each line you see running up and down on the back wall of the tank in the pic above is actually where the chambers are divided off at. Each of the four chambers are only like 4" wide. There has to...

    Will I mess up my cycled tank?

    My tank (12g Aquapod open top) has been up and running just over a month now. I was unaware of some of the modifications that I should have made like blocking the 2 lower water intakes to improve surface skimming which I need. I would like to also remove the wall between chamber 1 and 2 to make...

    AquaC Nano Remora Protein Skimmer For 12g Aquapod

    I can't find an on line store that sells them that will let you return unless the item has not been opened. I can't determine the fit without opening the box and looking things over. I guess that's why I was hoping to find someone with a 12g Aquapod that was using one. They look like a nice...

    AquaC Nano Remora Protein Skimmer For 12g Aquapod

    That was kind of my thought also but I would have to order it online and if it don't fit it would be useless. But I guess I will wait and see if anyone else responds and go from there. I will keep you posted! Thanks!!!

    Has anyone upgraded there 14g Biocube to the 1.70 (70w HQI) provided at NC? This bulb is 70w Aqua Medic 10000K HQI bulb with no Actinic PC lighting supplement. What about the color without actinic and what about heat issues? These are a custom fit to the Biocube hood. If I was to buy the...

    Biocube Lighting

    I know this will sound stupid to some but it is about personal preference!!! I much prefer the Currents Sunpaq Bulbs over Coralife Bulbs. (color) I'm about to purchase the Biocube (14) but want to change out the bulbs. Will the ballast drive the 27watt sunpaq even though they are designed to...

    Nano cube question

    I know this will sound very picky to some because I am. I'm looking at both the Nano Cube and the Bio Cube. I have seen the Bio Cube and the Aqua Pod up and running but not the Nano Cube. I notice on the Aqua Pod that the lid does not fit well and you see light around the seems. I know you do...
