    Holy Worms.

    Going overboard would be the thought of the earth actually being a 20G long in someone else's living room 8). A really hackneyed food for thought I suppose, but keeping an aquarium full of creatures blissfully unaware of the world outside of their's makes one wonder doesn't it? Mods feel...

    Holy Worms.

    We are all trying to play God and trying to force our vision of a living room ecosystem on creatures with minds of their own. How did we ever expect our actions not have any consequences ? Nice post Jon ...

    Mangroves $2 already sprouting

    You're the man rich !! Do you plan on growing them hydroponically ? A lot of people said that its the best way. Also, if they are already sprouting, it seems like a good idea to match the salinity of their existing setup. Let me know ..

    Mighty Mite RO/DI unit

    I am thinking of getting a Mighty Mite along with an Inline DI unit. It seems reasonable enough, especially if I upgrade to a 40 G tank this summer and owing to the fact that it comes with faucet adapters to connect/disconnect form my kitchen sink. Its cost about $120 from the website, could...

    Mangroves $2 already sprouting

    What sort of mangorve do you have? I have a CPR medium fuge, with the sections divided roughly as follows, 10" first section (inlet), 6" main section, 3" outlet section. Would you suggest I keep mangrove in my fuge ? I think my light would be a 50-50 18W PC.

    Digital PH tester

    Looks like the aquacontroller 3 has an embedded web server. If you hook this up to your home Net connection(say, via wireless router), you could monitor and control tank parmaters remotely. Most reviews seem good. Quite over-the-top for my current setup, but something to think of when I upgrade...

    Refugium setup

    For my 20G, 3 week old tank, I got hold of a CPR medium refugium some days back. It has a Rio 4HF Hyperflow Pump rated at 260 gph and will shortly getting have an 18W 50-50 light. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=16278.msg149951#msg149951 My aim is to...

    refugium or protein skimmer

    Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I will hold off on the refugium/skimmer. Depending on my success with the 20L, I suppose converting the 20L to sump would be my summer project :).

    refugium or protein skimmer

    I have read about people favouring the skimmer over the refugium, but I always seem to side a more natural option if it's viable. I have 20L that I would like to keep softies for now, and may be SPS/LPS after I am adequately proficient in not messing up my setup.Please advise for/against my...
