  1. $.06!? Holy smokes! I'm like $.14 (so, for your calculation $.56/day, $17/mo, $205/yr).
  2. Is there a way to see a history of status changes? With a few listed on the right, I miss a lot.
  3. Post your readings. There may be a misconception between what you think is normal and what is normal. Include temperature. You may have bad test kit(s). Do you put your hands in the tank? Do you wash them before putting them in the tank? I know, basic questions, but to troubleshoot this it needs to be broken down and assumptions thrown out.
  4. I avoided the 3D version... not a fan of the presentation in general. I thought it was a good movie. Not too heavy handed on gaia, evil corps, etc. but you get a lot of "humans are superior". It's one of the few I might actually pick up on blu-ray.
  5. My guess is yes. Either because of salinty, pH, or temperature. My orchid dottyback has been fighting for her life after I did a water change from 1.022 to 1.025+ in a short period of time. Or that's what I think the cause was.
  6. ZOMG! I can't believe you lumped me in the Carrie!
  7. Figures. Beautiful stuff but I'm out of town
  8. If you have an open top, would your tank receive enough oxygen even with the pumps turned off for a long period of time? (I saw reference to oxygen deprivation and breaker tripping in another thread.)
  9. Can you suggest one or point me to one so I can see. Usually I'm trying to aerate around 5-6g. I use my MJ-1200 for a 30g trashcan.
  10. I have a tank I need to aerate where I don't want a ton of (hardly any) circulation. All I have are MJ-1200 lying around. Suggestions?
  11. I don't know much about airstones to be honest--hence "system". I was pretty it was multiple parts, but didn't know if the pump was submersible or not. But yes, I think I need both since I have no other pumps other than MJ 1200 ones.
  12. Mainly for aeration of temp. tank.
  13. I ordered one from Amazon Prime. Thanks.
  14. Contact user Mama (Laura) of Rockin' Reefs. Highly recommended and great prices.
  15. Mark: I'm heading out in about 5 minutes. I'll be picking up mine, Carrie's, and Mama's orders.
  16. I want to try out a Hydor Flo on my return and am looking for one really cheap.
  17. Take out all the rocks and scrub them with a toothbrush (/me pokes Carrie).
  18. Ben, you could always do a 10-inch sand bed! Or maybe 6-inch with a 4-inch plenum!
  19. That is very cool. When I saw one at AquaDome I had to have one until I researched and found that most tend to starve (much like sand sifting stars) because we don't have enough gunk in our sand beds for long term survival.
  20. Yellow Watchman Goby (Cryptocentrus cinctus) Small: 1“-2½“ $ 16.99 NOTE: Marc - Add a comment to the order for a YWG closer to 1" in size. Red Montipora Capricornus (montipora capricornus) Size: 1"-1.5" Frag $ 12.99 Meteor Shower Cyphastrea (Cyphastrea sp.) Frag: 3/4" $ 38.99 Total: $ 68.97 less 10% + $1 = $ 62.07
  21. I will add this. I have two separate Nitrate test kits I use to test Nitrates because for over a month, I've had 0 Nitrates.
  22. The light is two months old. It's an undercabinet mount. Though, maybe the glass has an algae film that is impeding light transfer. It's hard for me to see back there. i have coralline algae sites that seem to be blooming. Otherwise, i do have little algae. I had a breakout of hair algae about 3-4 weeks ago but it is all gone now. In fact, it appears so pristine that I've started feeding my CuC with strips of nori for fear of starvation.
