Well my calcium checker finally arrived in the mail today. I was pretty excited to try it out since it is brand new to the market. I ran my first test today and then compared it to my Elos CA test. Both showed the CA as 420; so I suppose it's pretty accurate. I definitely like the checker better over my traditional style kits. Just thought I'd share in case anyone was thinging about ordering one.

I forgot about that. You can actually do a 110 show as well on your current stand. Gotta love that 48x18 footprint.

While we do have a good mobile version the tapatalk version is much easier and quicker to navigate.

Tapatalk still won't let me anywhere near the site, and I no longer can find a spot to update my status. Otherwise the new site looks great.

Okay.....I apologize I was mistaken about what the first buyer wanted. He actually wants all three of the powerheads. I have a list going and if it falls through I'll PM the next in line.

Lol...yeah I'm a little confused too. The two k2s are actually pending, but I still have the nano if you're interested.

I have 2 k2s for sale, and one K nano. Approx a year old. I will clean them up and have them ready to go.

$15/each for the K2

$10 for the nano

I don't think you'd be over skimming your tank with that PS. If you have a total water volume of 165 gallons then this would be a good PS for that size. Remember, it's always better to have a skimmer that is to big rather than to small.

I'm also going with a new tank. Plus, you could upgrade to a 90 since the footprint is the same as a 75

This isn't really helpful answer but there are intestinal parasites that might explain it. I know from having sent a tang off for lab work (took a year and $200) that there are internal parasites that will present the same basic symptoms and are untreatable (and from what I observed in my tanks suggests it might be contagious or at least comunicable). Also bear in mind we basically only know about diseases at the class level or whats common for ALL bony fish which is the same class level for diseases of ALL mammals. We have essentially no information for order, family or genus level diseases for fish. For reference the cats and dogs are separated at the family level or two steps lower on the taxonomic tree and we know quite a bit about their seperate diseases

Thanks for the info. That's pretty much what I figured. My bigger concern is is it safe to add a new blenny or am I going to have the same problem with a new one.

PM'd for Tunze

As the post says....Anyone want to trade their IceCap 440 for my 660? I am worried that I might be overdriving my 4 39W T5s a bit too much, and causing a short bulb lifespan.

I recently lost my lawnmower blenny and my midas blenny within one week of each other. For the past few months both blennies have steadily lost weight and looked more and more emaciated. I observed both of them feeding multiple times throughout the day, but I was never able to get either to gain the weight back that they were losing. I even went so far as to hand feed the midas to make sure it was getting what it needed. Everything else in my tank looks just as fat and happy as always. My question is has anyone ever heard of a parasite or disease that targets the GI tract of just the blenny species? Or does anyone have any thoughts of what might have caused this? I would really like to replace my lawnmower blenny asap, but I'm afraid of any lingering parasites that might cause the same problem over again. Thanks in advance for any advice.

This is a very nice little colony for a very good price. If I had $90 I'd definitely pick it up.

Thank ya'll very much. They were released from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and we are all thrilled to be home.

Not a clue, but if you figure it out I'll take a pair of them.

Bump....still have some frags left

Need the room so it's got to go! Sour apple seriatapora that is approx 7" wide by 5" tall.

$50 obo

Really?? That's awesome. I guess I'll have to go by there

Pretty much the same recommendations by me. Elos, or Salifert, and a meter for PH. I use Elos just because they are available locally. Also, never API. I've found way to many inaccuracies in their kits

As the title says I'm looking for a single or pair of Harlequin Shrimp. I've had an explosion of Asterinas that I'd like to get under control.

Bump....still have one Hawkins left, five or six sour apples, and lots of fresh cut frags.

My rimless tank is from GC, and the general consensus is correct. Pretty horrible customer service, and sloppy silicone work, but for the price they are tough to beat. My tank was half the price from GC then from anyone else. Feel free to come by and take a look if you want to see an example.
