I will be doing that once I get some additional rock. I am going to wait for that big IRS return and buy another 100 pounds of rock. I was thinking of getting some marco rocks and seeding it with a few pieces of my current rock. I will kill the rocks that have algae growing on them. It's strange, there are only a few rocks that will grow the algae. It never goes to the others.

Thanks everyone. Should the snails be okay with what little algae is in the tank? The only ones I worry about are the nassarious (spelled wrong). Should they be okay as well?

The skimmer is pulling less these days. Thats is why I was thinking of pulling it out and adding a fuge. The only way I can go completely dark is to place a tarp over the tank. There are windows close to the tank but the blinds are always closed. The tank lights have been off for about a month now.
-
Do you think a skimmer will be more benificial to the tank then a fuge?
-
Thought about adding one as well. I was also thinking I could remove the skimmer and use that space for a fuge. So then the question is...which is better to have at this point, a skimmer or a fuge? I know my phosphate levels are around 0.5, everything else is 0's. I have also been running a PhosBan reactor but it's just not bringing them down.

Hey everyone. I have no more fish in the tank so is there any need to run the skimmer? All that left are about 50 snails and crabs. I am fighting a hair algae issue so I sold the fish and plan to let the tank sit with no lights for a while. Is it worth running the skimmer during this time? Tank has been running for 1 year.

I had RSVP'd a while back but am not going to make the meeting today. Hope to see everyone at the next meeting. James

Once my TDS readings hit 1ppm I order new DI. Am I wasting my money? What does everyone consider a safe ppm for TDS?
-
Got mine off ebay as well. I think it was $20 shipped. Hanna is the brand.

LOL. It's actually WPF, Windows Presentation Framework. Maybe they should have called it WTF! James
-
I wonder if these mods will add any additional heat to the tanks. If anyone knows, please post.
-
Yes. Just think about mixing saltwater for water changes. You can match the tank water and your mix and have perfect salinity.
-
Nice. I would like to see them run and what they can do. They have a very interesting design.
-
Looks like 19 confirmed people, so far. This is going to be a pretty large meeting. It will be cool to meet everyone and put a face with the screen names.

I don’t think they are available, yet. I had seen these in a Marine Depot catalog and decided to look into them. They look pretty interesting. http://riopump.net/new_products_folder/polario_desc.html I found a post on another reef site saying they would be $300 - $400 each. I don’t know if that includes the controllers or not. There is not a lot of information about them. James

Already posted that I will be there. If we find a sitter for our 1 year old my wife will there as well. If not, it will just be me. Unless people dont mind a little girl running around.
-
I will be there as well. I am trying to get my wife to come so she can see what it takes to hvae a great tank. Maybe she will let me spend a little more money!
-
Thank you. It was great to finally see your tank as well.
-
Does it keep beer cool? If so, I will take it.

Pefrect! Thanks everyone. I will order one this weekend. I wonder why the LFS's use the hydrometers and not a refractometer? I guess when you test 30 water samples a day the hydrometer is a little easier. Anyway, thanks for everyones comments.
-
Thanks. That is what I wanted to hear. If I can save a little money here and there I am all over it. We all know this hobby is not cheap! Anyone else have an opinion? James

Hey everyone. I am looking to get a refractometer and wanted some advise. There is a wide range in price ($20 e-Bay special to over $100) and wanted to see what everyone else uses and if it's worth the money to go expensive. I am using a hydrometer now, and have confirmed with a few LFS's the readings. So my question is this...what advantage do I have buying an $100+ meter verses a cheaper one? Anyone have a good recomendation? I was looking at the cheaper one on Drs. Foster/Smith. James
-
They are both great shots! I like the colors of GKarshens but also like the natural look of seahorsejl. Great pictures!
-
Thanks! That is what I was looking for.
