I have one of each of the ornamental shrimp (peppermint, cleaner, and fire) in my mixed 57G for over a year and have never had a problem. The cleaner is always out in the open and the fire and peppermint are a little reclusive at times with the fire being the hardest to find.

Shane at Fishy Business can also help.

I have a nova extreme pro 6x39. It has worked fine but the fans are very LOUD. It is hands down the loudest thing on my tank...I can hear the hum of the fans from other rooms.

There is a Neptune sponsor forum on RC that is very helpful

Put me down for a nitrate

Count me in for one

located in Round Rock...you will have to come pick up

I live in round rock and have a dremmel that you are welcome to borrow for the weekend. PM me if interested.

Caferacermike did the same thing for me and it was so helpful that I eventually bought one...though I have not had much opportunity to use it....

I have been using the same BRS unit for almost a year and it works great. I use it for a 57 g tank and just run it a couple times a month to get 20 gal of water or so for topoff and water changes.

I have made multiple purchases from them... light fixtures, bulbs, Neptune Apex, etc and have had excellent service from them.

They are on the top of my list of suppliers.

Mama,

Did you get any cucumbers?

Anyone else having problems with the special grade sand clumping?

Does the sugar fine stuff clump also?

The sugar will settle out.

Mark,

Do you mean that the sugar fine will settle to the bottom and the larger stuff will be at the top?

That was one of my concerns with mixing...

What do you use in your tank?

I am upgraded my tank next week and trying to decide on a substrate.

I currently have 2 inches of the caribsea select grade but have been unhappy with it as it seems to clump easily.

I had the sugar sized sand a decade ago and seem to remember being happy with it.

I was going to put in 2 inches of fresh sugar sized sand when I upgrade unless someone can talk me out of it

Any pros/cons/opinions?

PM'd on

20. Purple Monster Monti 1 inch $15

21. Ultimate pink stag frags 3.5 inches $30

+1 on both of the above.

I used black acrylic from Regal Plastics (close to Aquatek) and they will cut it to the size you want.

very nice. Great coloration. What lights are you running?

Your cloudy water could be either due to Calcium precipating though more likely is due to microbubbles from the return pump.

If you have a sump and return then turn it off for a hour or so and see if it goes away.

marketing.

I sold mine b/c my wife thought it was f- ugly and boring.

Funny...my wife said the exact same thing...about the chalices that is....

I guess I am missing something here.

Can anyone explain the love affair and need for deep pockets regarding chalices.

They are colorful but why are they SOOO much more expensive than other colorful things that "just sit there".

It doesn't even have any waving tentacles or anything else that is interesting to look at.....

What are the dimensions of the tank?

I picked up a couple of packages of Rod's original food from Premium aquatics when I was visiting relatives in Indianapolis. Great stuff and my fish and coral seem to really like it. I highly recommend it. I will be going back to Indy and can bring a bunch back (group buy) with "free shipping" if there is some interest then.

Aquatek carries them. I think they were around $50.

They are located behind the cash register counter so you have to ask for them.
