Thanks Mike...will do

Ok, so basically just add the recommended salt to the RO/DI, warm, circulate, aerate...and that's it?

I am thinking about making my own saltwater as I am getting tired of lugging 5 gallon jugs from the LFS. I have a RO/DI unit for my top off water so I am set there although I am thinking of upgrading to a unit that makes more per day. I will be using Instant Ocean and the box recommends using a...

I use German Hamilton...very nice and white

Just reading the thread and noticed comments regarding being a njreefer, Do those stores offer discounts? Is there a list of LFS in and around NJ on the site somewher? I usually go to Tropiquarium, but am always interested in finding new stores.

Whenever I have cyano issues, I syphon out as much as I can and do a good water change. I also make sure I don't over feed but in general I feed my fish once a day. I increased water flow by adding two powerheads. I also test frequently. The main thing I think is the overfeeding. Cyano is a...

I have been getting my saltwater from Trop for about 4 years now. Never any problems.

I use a computer battery as my back up. The first time my power went out I panicked. It was out for several hours. I bought the back up after that. When running the back up constantly, it lasted about 2.5 hours. I only have my main pump to it to circulate and aerate the tank. Now, I would run...

Re: today just isnt my day.... my yellow tang looks like its starting to get sev Try using a couple of drops of garlic extract in the food. I have used it every time my tangs get ich to help them fight it off themselves. It works every time for me. I have never used any treatment, dips...

Did you decide on your lights yet? I use a Hamiliton Technology Metal Halide fixture with actinics on my tank. I like it. Nice shimmering white effect in the tank, with blue at night. If you haven't decide yet and are interested, I have a Hamilton Technologies 3' DLX fixture with 2 175W MH &...

I use two Koralia 3's in my 92 gallon. I like them, they provide nice gentle flow...and corals are doing very well. Also have used Tunze, and still have as a backup if needed, but they were a little finnicky and would at times reverse flow on me when starting up..that's when I switched to Koralia.

I searched previous discussion on ground probes and stray voltageand I am back to my initial issue...there is no real consensus on the use or against and there are good discussions pro and con...that said, I am leaning towards Vangvace's thought process... "I'm of the belief that if you use...

"These grounding probes come with a non-corrosive titanium rod attached to a 10ft stainless wire lead, a three prong grounded plug, with an additional grounding eyelet". It's the additional eyelet that confuses me...why have it if there if there is the three prong groung plug...but Ok I will...

Ok, this may sound like one of those dumb questions, but here goes....so I plug the Ground probe into one a GFCI outlets ( I have one of those GFCI units you plug into the outlet), is it still necessary to attach the little ground connector or is it already ground with the third prong?

Hello everyone, I can't seem to get a consensus from researching whether or not to use a ground probe. I utilize GFCI's , should I also use a ground probe? Some say yes, others say it may actually worsen a situation... MLK

So where is the best placement for a Birds nest? I have a small frag myself .
