  1. I like the "Active Content in the last 24 hours".
  2. I like the new look but 'View New Content' shows almost 6000 entries. Can those be all marked as 'read' or 'not new' in some way?
  3. my sump has a built-in bio-wheel. Could that part of my continual on-going never-ending can't get rid of nitrate problem?

    Just out of curiosity, what store are you opening?
  5. I am having the same problem.
  6. That's what I ws interested in. O well. Another will be around.
  7. Shop around. Gallery of pets tends to be fairly high.
  8. When you feed it, watch out for your fingers.
  9. I take water to two LFS just for a double check. I wish it was the test kit.
  10. It seems I aways have medium to high nitrates no matter what I do. So I keep searching for something that will help. I found a link to building a DIY Sulphur Denitrator. From what I read, it seemed to remove nitrates rapidly. Has anyone had any experience with this? It seems to be very similar to a calcium or phosban reactor. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...postid=11561141
  11. Why will the frags be slow growing?
  12. I have come across some articles about zoanthids and plays having toxins, specifically 'palytoxin'. Here is one link: http://www.cbwinfo.com/Biological/Toxins/Palytoxin.html and another: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...light=zoanthids Has anyone had any problems here? I haven't noticed any but my hands are not in my tank much.
  13. My mandarin finally started eating frozen brine. I think I have declared my tank a "No 'Nem" zone.
  14. What size pumps did you use?
  15. This was my first tub of Red Sea Pro salt and it was the end of the tub, at that. I kept it sealed and had the internal bag sealed as well. Do you think buying smaller amounts would keep it fresher so that I don't run into this again?
  16. Yesterday, I got set up to do a water change. I put a trash can liner in my Brute 40, added 20 gallons of RO water, Red Sea Pro salt, and threw in a couple of Maxijets 1200's to stir it all up. This is my usual method of creating new salt water. In the winter, I add a heater to get it up to about 75 degrees or so. This time after half an hour, the water was very milky looking. Even in a small glass container, you could see it. It was still that way this morning. I am putting it down the kitchen sink as I write this. I have never had this problem before. We used to used trash can liners when we made "Party Punch". I have read that the liners are very nearly sterile from manufacture. I won't use one again. Has onyone else had a problem like this?
  17. I found this news story on NewScientist.com. If dealers could get the more heat tolerant corals, could we no longer need chillers? http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn1718...t-the-heat.html
  18. If you decide to order, I think I 'd like to get in.
  19. I have two k 2's in my 75 and I think I could use a bit more.
  20. If that K 3 is too strong for your tank, I'll swap you a Koralia 2 for it.
  21. I'd try Radio Shack or one of the computer stores like Altex.
