    Really White Sand - Southdown?? Old Kastle??

    Hello there, I was surfing around and found some interesting articles on SouthDown Sand Aragonite White. I have found a couple articles on it. Nothing top quality, but since I was in the market for WHITE sand myself I was wondering if anyone knows of it, where I can get it, if I should get it...

    Potter anyone?

    Hello there, Saw the movie last night at the 8pm showing. Personally I thought it was a great movie. You have to consider what that means. Personally I think that in the first 4 or whatever movies that Harry cries to much. At times I wonder if he is a man or not. Also, I have not read any of...

    Water Change / Emergency Maintenance - Interesting Read

    Hello there, I think the read should go something like this. "It is not suggested to do more then a 50% water change at any given time. The potential to have a major PH shift is more likely with the higher percentage of water you change out." Doing the 40%'s should essentially keep everything...

    Hello there, I thought this was an interesting read, so I figured I would share it with the nano forum since it seems we do the most water changes for some reason or just maintenance. Enjoy.... An Instant Nitrate Reduction Method How to Reduce High Toxic Nitrates Quickly & Efficiently Many...

    Just another suggestion for the future. When you go back to the PetShanty make sure you talk to Charlie. He is the owner and behind the counter most of the time. Adding a fish to your reef tank or any tank is a default suggestion. It is suggested to get the bio filtration started and if anything...

    Just one more thing I noticed. You might want to point one of the locline tubes up towards the surface otherwise you are going to get a film on the top of the water. Again, just a suggestion to keep the ( what is called ) skimmer doing its job. I also added a piece of black electrical tape...

    I have to agree with twan. In this amount of water there is no room for error and I would hate for you to have to deal with hair algae for the next year ( not that it won't happen ) by rushing the cycle. I like your thinking twan. However, I would think using the timeline below might be a...

    Thanks for the good information. BTW, the time out here really gets on my last nerve. I typed this long explanation and then went to the loo and when I got back checked it and then submitted and had to re-log in, losing everything I typed. That really sux. However, in short, the reason that...

    My 12gDX Gently Moded !!!

    Nice Job! I would have never thought it would have worked with the pile of rock when you started. Did not look like there was enough flow and anything. However, it looks like it is flourishing. Whatever you are doing. Keep doing it. Again, Nice Job! Keep us updated!

    You know what I hate more than anything? Posting a message and seeing that 50 people have viewed it and not one reply. Just like me though I am sure it was just missed. It is important for people to feel like they belong in a group. I want to assure you that we are interested in your progress...

    Live rock in tank 3 days = questionable cycle. I agree that you need to keep it going but I would wait at least 10 days before putting in a CUC from the time you added the rock. Just my OPINION. Phyl is the president so I am treading lightly here. :) lol

    eventually... good word. Here is a blip I found on them "keeping in mind that copepods feed on algal materials, especially algal mats/hair algae as in the Adey Algal turf scrubbers... The tank should be lighted, and the rock should be as convoluted and as porous as you can possibly get, many...

    I can assure you that unless that rock is seriously cured, you have not even begun to cycle. It would be amazing if you got off that lucky. You just got the rock today, so... not caring what other people think I am going to say that you should still follow the proper progression and wait a few...

    Hello there, Really not sure of your location and heat issues, but sure am glad you decided to change out that standard pump. It says that you bought distilled water for the tank, try and get them in clear bottles rather then the plastic kinda see through ones. Try and do your water changes at...

    Pump recommendation

    Hello there, I too will say this. Not sure of your application, hose sizes or design. All I know is that the question you asked is what pressure pumps can you use. Well, I like these: http://www.bluelineaquatics.com/products/water_pump/hd.html They are quite, reliable, and just a joy to use...

    ReefCam Operational - Just not the reef :)

    Hello there, As of right now I do not keep it on all the time. If you see "connecting to webcamXP" it means that I have it turned off. In version 4 of the software which should be out in a few days, maybe a week. There will be a camera offline message there instead. I could configured it to do...

    ReefCam Operational - Just not the reef :)

    What I did was: a. Purchase a logitech QuickCam Fusion from Ebay, which I got for like a 1/3rd the price of retail with shipping. b. Purchase an extension USB cable on ebay for like $4.00 ( 5Meters ) instead of in the store for $30.+ c. Downloaded and installed webcamXP d. Installed and...
