  1. Neptune Sys Display Module and EB8 tanked...

  2. Very nice. Did you make the float valve holder, or is this something that can be purchased? Thanks for sharing!
  3. Available for sale one Sea Hare. Approximately 3"-4". Asking price $15. Details: Care Level: Expert Only Temperament: Peaceful Water Conditions: 72-78° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.023-1.025 Max. Size: 1' Color Form: Black, Tan Diet: Herbivore Origin: Indo-Pacific Family: Aplysidae Overview: The body of the Dwarf Sea Hare is a combination of speckles and patterns. The location of its rhinophores (organ used to smell) and its oral tentacles make it look a bit like a rabbit, hence its common name.If it becomes startled, it may release a purple dye to repel attacking fish. In the home aquarium, the Sea Hare will need a good chemical filter system to quickly remove this toxic dye before it causes problems.In the wild, it is usually found in shallow areas of seagrasses and coral rubble, preferring the shaded areas. Cover from the lights in the aquarium should be provided. It requires a large area in which to move. It prefers an aquarium with live rock and open sandy areas so that it can graze on algae, eating any Caulerpa in the tank. It is sensitive to high levels of copper-based medications and will not tolerate bad water conditions (high nitrates).If regular feedings of Caulerpa are not possible, it will need a supplemented diet of parboiled lettuce and dried kelp.

  10. Just because I know there are some paint and body people on here... You know you're a nut when you know the paint code of the garden tools you just painted. --- You know you're a bigger nut when you can say that you have a House of Kolor garden shovel! :D

      Love house of kolor! I have their color book when we had our bodyshop.

      I have them in my tank... they can become pest like by multiplying a lot. A Pakistan Butterfly I had briefly wiped most of them out, but I am starting to see them again.

  13. Tip of the Day #1: Before calibrating probes, place unopened packets in aquarium to acclimate them to the system temperature.

      you DID read the directions right?

      Who reads those?

      I did after I figured out the Apex ORP probe won't work with ORP calibrating solution.

  14. Tried it just to see (less than a few minutes) and decided to stay with my current lighting. 24" 75W UVL Actinic White VHO T12 Bulb. A frag of zoanthids or palythoa appreciated but not necessary. Prefer pickup only.
  15. Thanks, I hadn't realized that about the water level. I will definitely take it into consideration.
  16. I have a Precision Marine R24 Refugium that holds protein skimmer, heaters, reactors, pumps, etc. I would like to remove the refugium section to possibly have a little more room. By removing the first baffle, would the flow increase? Also, would I need a sponge or anything between the second and third baffle to eliminate any microbubbles? I have included a sample pic of the refugium below. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
  17. Reading about pump cavitation...

      Had to memorize the definition and about a million equations for fluid dynamics about 10 years ago, ugh...

      Cavitation = bad, enough said...

  18. I am in the process of setting up a GEO 618 Calcium Reactor with a Milwaukee MA957 CO2 Regulator. Both the reactor and the regulator have bubble counters. Am I correct to assume that the one integrated with the regulator assembly is more accurate? Also, I purchased a CO2 reactor kit which came with an additional Azoo CO2 check valve and bubble counter liquid. The Milwaukee manual recommends filling the counter with water. Would there be any benefit to using the bubble counter liquid? The reactor has tubing with a check valve in between the solenoid and the bubble counter. Is there anywhere else I should install this additional check valve? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
