Subsea just did this about 2 months ago . He is not on this forum but on R2R a lot

I use socks. I would like a fresh pair everyday, so would my tank. My wallet will not allow for this. So I have to wash them. I dont wash mine with tank socks. I use a broom handle to turn them inside out. I toss them in the washer with bleach. They get pretty stinky in a 5 gallon bucket with lid after a week. Bleach in the pre-soak as well as in the soap tray. I have a front load machine that uses very little water. I do a pre-soak cycle, speed wash cycle and second rinse. When thats all over I take them out and let dry for a day. I do 30 at a time. If i had only 2, I would toss them in some bleach water for an hour then wash them with plain water in the machine. Maybe an extra rinse to make sure the bleach is gone.

Have you tried some different types of snails? Aquadome said my waters fine too. I have cyano, hair and some other algae.

I have to agree. All the things I was looking for were only 0 to10% off. One exception, Red sea salt. It was about 20% off.

What am I missing? 1.028 salinity, Milwaukee Refractometer
Dogfish replied to eddius-maximus's topic in Reef Keeping
I would borrow a refractometer that is known to be in working order and check with it before changing the tank anymore. Or Get some new fluid. 1.025 cal solution reading 1.028 is not normal but as you say its old and may not be good. 12 cups is only 3/4 gallon -
So along with some white pod flat worms I have noticed some red ones in the fuge. They seem to be only on the glass and macro. I plan on treating it with flat worm exit. Since I can turn off the flow to the main tank, The fuge is a separate tank. I will wipe down the glass, dose the fuge with the product. Wait a bit then change out 100% of the water. Wipe and drain a second time then refill. Does any one think this will cause an issue with anything like tube worms in the main tank or sponges in the sump? I have not seen any in the main tank but I think a wrasse or 2 is in the near future. Also I have read, blue nudi's will eat them. Does anyone know if I can keep 1 or 2 in my fuge? What else do they eat ? Any inverts eat them?

Hydrowizard pump? That is prob it 50,000gph

I was at the Stienhert aquarium and saw this giant stream pump. It was about a foot in diameter and 2 feet long. Looked like it was powered by a submersible pump the size of a hammerhead. Looks like it was mounted to a 10” I beam. But it was underwater so prob acrylic.Any body know what it is?

FarmerTy's 215 gallon - No Water Changes SPS Tank
Dogfish replied to FarmerTy's topic in Tank Builds
Who has live black worms? The dome does not carry them. -
Welcome. Yes the hobby can be expensive. Look for used tanks and equipment. People move, get bigger / smaller tanks all the time. If you have some time your tank will pop up on the internet. The forum here (for sale) or some other sale site. Buying used can come with problems. New stuff not so much. Get as much info about the tank and equipment that comes with it.

I see you both have money. If you need a lawyer look me up . I'll work both sides for the right fee.

A quote from Randy's article in Reef Keeping magazine. Since your Alk is already high.......... http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rhf/ For these reasons, I suggest that aquarists maintain a calcium level between about 380 and 450 ppm. I also suggest using a balanced calcium and alkalinity additive system for routine maintenance. The most popular of these balanced methods include limewater (kalkwasser), calcium carbonate/carbon dioxide reactors, and the two-part additive systems. If calcium is depleted and needs to be raised significantly, however, such a balanced additive is not a good choice since it will raise alkalinity too much. In that case, adding calcium chloride is a good method for raising calcium.
