    He's so tiny. I remember when ours was that small, then they grow up, move out of the house . . .
  4. I'm looking to order one of these from BRS. From the photo I can't figure out how it mounts. Does any one have one of these that can shoot me a pic of the mounting bracket? TIA
  5. Let me know when you hear from them. I found some on-line but the details indicate they are for another Hanna meter. The caps are also sold separately.
  6. Cool I try to find out about cuvettes before then.
  7. +1 what Robb said. Mine have moved due to flow and/or lighting.
  8. Mark, when are you going to plce the order?
  9. One packet of regeant per test. The unit come with 6.
  10. Well with the size order we are placing shipping for all should be free. Let me know when you place the order so I can pay ya.
  11. I use a Neptune Systems Aquacontroller III one my 150, Others use the Apex from the same mfg. I use a Digital Aquatics ReefKeeper 2 on my wife's 58. They both have there pros and cons. You'll just need to decide what you want the controller to do and how much cash you want to lay down. Neptune Systems Contollers Digital Aquatics Controllers
  12. Mark I'll split my 100 regeants with Don.
  13. I've had one for years and a controller also helps, too.
  14. +1 on the Ehiem pumps the 1262 will get the you close at 900 gph. I have a 1260 on my calcium reactor and forget its running it's so quiet.

    Very nice Cindy!
  16. I'll test one I'll split the reagent with you.
  17. I've got a nice size piece of it growing in our 58 with PC lighting put it's up high in the tank so I think you could grow them in your bio-cube.
  18. What kind of of lighting do you have and the wattage?
  19. you mean montipora capricornis or monit cap (the shorten version). Family | Genus | Species : Acroporidae | Montipora | capricornis Common Names : Leaf coral, Vase coral, Leaf Plate Coral, Whorled Montipora, Monti Cap Care Level : Could be considered easy to moderately difficult to keep. This could be considered a good candidate for a first venture into SPS coral keeping. pH : 8.1 - 8.4 Temperature : 75°F - 80°F (24°C - 27°C) Water Hardness : 8° to 12° dH Calcium : 400 - 420 ppm Origin / Habitat : Indo-Pacific, Fiji, Solomon Islands, often found in mid to shallow water levels. Temperament / Behavior : Rather peaceful but grows relatively quickly and may end up shading corals placed below it. How to Frag : Easy to frag. You can break of a piece (using your hands with gloves on) and affix it to a reef plug with super glue or other saltwater aquarium safe bonding material. The donor coral should recover just fine after fragmentation if kept in good conditions. After fragging, provide good to excellent water conditions with similar lighting and the coral frags should grow at a nice pace. Food : Feeding is not necessary. It should get most of what it needs from the water column and via the zooxanthellae in it's tissues. Light : Moderate to High lighting levels are required. T5's, VHO's or Metal Halides are recommended. Water Movement : Moderate to high and turbulent flows are good. References / Recommended Reading : - Borneman, Eric (2004).
