Hello there,
I do an 8 an 10 hour timed lighting with a 14 hour moonlight.
actinics - 11am to 9pm
pc whites - 12pm to 8pm
moonlights 8pm to 12pm
So far so good. I get to see the tank most of the time on my schedule and I get to enjoy the night life from 9pm on. Good Stuff.
Hello Mike,
Thanks so much for the offer. I really appreciate your reply. However, I needed to order something from marine depot so while I was at it I threw on a couple packs of all of them, 4, 7 and 10. Thanks again, but I don't need it any more. Again, I really appreciate your reply and...
Another Day Closer....
Well what an adventure this has been. I mean seriously.. why would anyone want to take this hobby on. All it is, is FUN! I received my salt ( Oceanpure ViaAqua ) this week and I have my water and sand. What?? No rock.. Will be here tomorrow or Thursday. More of a chance...
Hello everyone.
Is there any chance that anyone happens to have any 4, 7 & 10 pH test solutions for a Pinpoint PH Monitor for calibration in the little packets? One time usage that I can use? I will pay you a dollar a package ( going rate ) I am not sure if the thing is going to work or not, so...
I cannot tell you anything other then what a molex connector is. When you have a power supply and you want to hook it up to something it normally would come with connectors built into it ( hardwired ) However, with a molex power supply you basically have a connector that connects to the power...
Re: Witch Nano is better ?
Are those the two choices that you are considering? I have seen many people happy with either and finnex has some really nice stuff. However, for those prices you can get the new

which comes with the 150w HQI. I have...
I have to go back and review the other parts of this post.. However, to answer this question. I am unsure about that product. However, if you go to your local LFS or the PetShanty ( they have it in stock ) you can get this stuff.

That should do...
Just so everyone knows.. Since I did only a few tests the night before I redid all the tests again and got the same results adding the two new tests to the process. The numbers above are based on the temperature above and the salt being in the tank at the proper specific gravity for 39 hours...
Hello there,
Just wanted to express my awe with this product. I have never seen a salt that dissolves perfectly, and have what I think are perfect parameters out of the bag. Unbelievable.
Phosphates - 0 ( not even a trace that I can see, maybe in a lab ) - Hagen Nutrafin
PH - 8.3 - Aquarium...
Thanks for the information Carlo, you are an amazing resource. I actually want to go with just aragonite only because I want to keep my variables in check. If you understand what I mean by that. Also, using the aragonite only sand which is really light in color is only enhanced to a white when...
Hello there,
I have found that when I talk to new people about setting up a tank that responding with " Go online and read read read " just does not cut it anymore. I find that people go out and search and the first thing they come across and read is like the bible more then just a small bit...
If my local LFS had WHITE ARAGANITE SAND I would have gotten it a month ago. No one has what I want. I found it though.

Just going to have to get it ordered and WAIT AGAIN.
This post is complete. :)
Thank you for the offer. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately unless you got something different and have performed the vinegar test on it and seen it foam up I am going to have to pass up this opportunity. Thanks so much for the offer it is appreciated and if you pass the test and it foams...
Well, I went to HD and looked for the sand.. They were out. However, we had just bought 40lbs of it to put in between the stones in the walkway. So.. I opened the bag took out a little put it in a glass bowl and poured in vinegar. Guess what.. Nothing happened. Not a single bubble or anything...
I am going to be using this in my nano with some twin spot gobies. I just want to make sure it is not going to be an issue. What I think I am going to do is get it and then mix in 4.75 lbs of some arag alive sand to the 20lbs of kolorscape. This should help seed the sand and guarantee my 2" sand...
Unbelievable.. You know I did not even THINK to search. I would have never guessed people actually talked about it already. Thanks for the information! If I see Merv and Carlo talking about it I am pretty sure it is ok to use. But will they agree it is ok to use in a nano tank vs a larger tank...
I was fortunate enough to have gotten a bad tank when I received my first one, so I found all these little issues when first trying out some mods. When I received my second replacement tank, one of the first things I did was go out and get some black silicone and re-silicone the entire...
