  1. I had just found this too! Thanks for the internet sleuthing. For what its worth, if you use the BRS description of "Probe Soaker Bottle" - there's not a lot of options to purchase outside of a few bulk order options! "Electrode Bottle" did much better!
  2. Hey Guys - I need to get my hands on a couple of storage bottles OR the original "caps" for my Neptune PH/ORP probes to ensure they don't dry out on me. Example: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-ph-orp-probe-tip-soaker-bottle.html Unfortunately, from my example, you can see that BRS is all out! Does anyone have any bottles or the original caps, that you could sell to me? Thanks Greg
  3. Hey Bill! I still have the sand available. I'll PM you some details.
  4. Hey Guys - I got a bag packed with 4-5 Mexican Turbo, and 2-3 Nassarius (sp?) snails in a bag to whomever can come pick them up first. Just shoot me a message! Also, I have 60-80lbs of live sand free to whomever wants it. Its CaribSea Arag-Alive! Fiji Pink sand, and been in my tank for 5 years or so. Please bring your own buckets for the sand. All of these need to go today! Thanks! Greg
  5. Thanks guys - all are spoken for! I gave it to the first PM I got. Thanks for all the help and support!
  6. Hey guys - I had to move on short notice, and unfortunately, I think I'll have to be breaking down the tank. I have just a few older fish that I love - that I just want to be homed to a new good location. Mated False Perc Clown Fish Pair One Black and White (male), and one Orange. Coral Beauty Angel Seriously though - please if you come and get them. Treat them fairly. They've always been good to me and my family!
  7. Does anyone have a Mexican Turbo or three they can sell? Battling an algea outbreak and could use the muscle. Looks like the LFS are out of stock.

      What have you notice negatively about zebra? They doing their job in my tank, something I don't know about them

      Kipf, I have both the zebra turbo snails and the Mexican turbo snails. They perform the same function in my tank except that the smaller mexican ones can of course navigate between the corals better.

      For urchins, I have 5 tuxedo urchins in my SPS-dominant tank. You need not worry about them touching your SPS unless yours are that much tastier than the 40+ varieties I have in my tank. LOL.

      They come out of the Cortez sea and they have been having massive die offs due to heat. They are starting to be available again, but the price is steep. Said they should start coming down on the price soon.

  8. Feeling dejected. Heater exploded on Monday when I was at work. Fish are hanging in, but it looks like most my SPS is done for. Hoping my LPS hold on as well.

      I think you might have to worry about metal contamination as well from those glass heaters popping. Perhaps research a bit online on how others have dealt with a heater blowing? Like maybe using a polysorb filter pad or cuprisorb just in case?

      Well, I called the manufacture, and the lad claimed there would be no sort of contamination for such a failure. Although, she didn't leave me feeling confident in her mastery of the subject, so I'm still uneasy.

      I still have some inverts living (although several snails and hermits died) so hopefully that's an indication that there's no contamination.

      I hadn't checked out those filters/pads before. It might be worth running just in case..

  9. Prime Now: When you need a new Main Return pump delivered to your door in 45 minutes! Wow!

  10. Have to say.. I love my Vertex skimmer. Pulled it out of the sump to clean it last night and it was SO easy to dismantle and resassemble!

      +1 on that. also love the screw off collection cup...no more splatter / spilling trying when the o-ring comes free!

  11. 35 bucks to ships some 2-Part BRS?! I'll wait for a group order (or for more things)!

      Start a Groupbuy in the GB section. People always need BRS stuff.

  12. What causes coraline algea growth - because man - six months in to the tank and it is covering everything!

    1. Planeden

      Planeden

      calcium and light. probably some other things too.

  13. Added a GFO/Carbon reactor yesterday - and it seems like the tank lived through the night (and I don't have water all over my floor). Success!

  14. Saw my new ATO work flawless 'in the wild' for the first time. Must now try to keep my reek geekness in check before I go bragging to all my friends.

  15. ATO system from autotopoff.com is coming in today! Woo hoo! Love added equip to the tank!

    Chicks dig the 'fro

    Finally spotted the elusive emerald crab. Possibly on the prowl.
  17. Going to jinx myself here - but I feel like I finally have my new skimmer tuned in and skimming well! Been learning a lot about what affects these skimmers over the last month and just how finicky they can be!

      I'm still deciding what I want to cut for the sticker(s) on my new 4Runner =X

      I'll def have to follow next time (although tank has a little more cycling to do) - it was a newer Kia Soule (grey?) I believe.

  21. Ugh oh... 2 year hiatus and I'm re-assembling the tank again. Back on the sauce..

      Trying to improve on what I learned the first time around. I didn't document it well - but I'll try to post up pics of the build

      26 years & I'm still fascinated and surprised and think it would be so cool to try . . . :-D

  22. Accidently broke my frogspawn colony in half. Be on the look out for half of it being put up for sale. I bet there's 28 heads on each piece.

  23. Came home from Vegas to find my AC is out and my tank is at 86 degrees. Not good - skimmer is off and floating some ice.

    1. JamesL

      Hopefully you had cash left after Vegas for the AC repairs :) 86 isn't too bad.. hopefully you didn't loose much.

      So far so good. Here's hoping.

  24. Went to go feed my fish and found my Blue Spotted Jawfish in the sump....still not really sure how he got there...

      they are escape artist. Probably won't be the last time and be happy he wasn't on the ground.

  25. Is irritated. Skimmer just died. And I was hoping to not have to spend money on my tank for awhile...
