thanks for the inputs! mine is reading 10ppm so apparently i am overdue...filter change in order!

Anyone know when its best to change RO/DI filters. A TDS reading of 0 ppm of course is the ideal measure, but is it necessary to spend the money to buy filters if the reading is 10 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm? Where is the cut-off? Thanks!

Its actually a simple invertebrate. It is a red tunicate...or eudistoma red condominium tunicate. It is very similar to a sea squirt, filtering waste particles from the water. Nice hitchhiker!

Thanks all! I suppose its safe to say that my puffer had a nice meal last night I understand that dusters can pull their crown in when threatened and sometimes even throw their crown...however the duster's entire tube is gone. So i believe the worm itself, along with his tube, is inside my...

I have had a porcupine puffer for about 7 months now and I recently added a feather duster. I had wanted something new for my tank and I figured a feather duster was just the right addition. I have hermit crabs, an emerald crab, polyps...none of which my puffer had taken any interest in. My...

it doesnt open or anything tho...

can anyone please tell me what this thing is...one day I was cleaning the glass and bumped my live rock and the highlighted...creature?...retracted into the live rock about 1/2 inch. It doesnt look like any sort of animal but it most certainly is alive because it responds to physical senses.

CLOSE UP

I just found this thing on my goby....it is stuck to his lower fin and it seems like some sort of external parasite. Anyone know what it is??????? I need to know right away if its harmful to him....and anyone know of a good way to remove it????? HELP!!!

I dont have the cash for ro units...so tap supply is what I have to work with. The general consensus is that one must obtain 10K for a 55 gallon set up: Ro units/high grade skimmers/huge sump/60 lbs of live rock/4 powerheads/dual metal halides...blah blah....well all sounds great when one has...

hmm no comments eh?

dont have either...and besides the cal fluid is supposed to be a little more accurate...however I have the fluid and no reference to what the 53 mS refers to...help!!

Do I have to take the rock out to place joe's juice on it?

I just bought a refractometer along with 53 mS fluid. However, what does the 53 mS equal as ppt and sg? Thanks!

yeah...I will be going for a much larger tank in the future. I got into saltwater about 6 months ago and its about as addictive as crack. Anyway i'm trying my best with what I got.
