What's with the lake? Get some tropical ocean front property so water changes are cheaper. :)

I've never seen this one before but I got it. I'm sure I'm right but I'll PM to make sure. Carlo

I use mine daily and calibrate it weekly. I absolutely love it and think it's one of the best investments I've made. The only down side is that you have to think differently when using it. You don't "think" in terms of Specific Gravity or Salinity when using it but instead in mS. So for example...

Yea, don't get me wrong mladencovic, I'm not a fan of the setup either for the same reasons you stated. We really aren't disagreeing. I just held back on the fuge as he already had it. :) What I was thinking for the use of the fuge since he had it; if the fuge is 7" deep and installed at the...

Since I've done it I can help you. It's really not hard at all to do. Once you take the peltzer/fan combo off the coleman it's pretty easy to see the size you have to work with and you can figure out how you want to use it on your tank. My kids just started setting up a 24g nano tank yesterday...

A 12x9x7 size fuge is only 3.2 gallons or so. The tank itself is 30 x 12.5 x 12.5. I don't think that's going to be that big of a deal in a 20g tank and sounds about right to me size wise. I think it may have been better to just partition off a section on the short end of the tank and make that...

I'll agree with the above posts. Before I moved from Deptford (10 minutes from them) it was my favorite store bar none. I miss going there. I will add you'll actually get two different types of employees there. One are the "kids" who don't know the answers but will look them up for you (very...

Do you happen to have any other powerheads laying around you could try? Since the dead spot is in the rockwork you may not even want to use a Hydor pump but something maybe closer to a MaxiJet or a MiniJet with a more direct stream pointed directly at the dead spot. Can you tell if you would be...

What you should probably do is turn off the return pump and let all the water in main tank drain down into the sump. Once the water flow has stopped top off the sump/return section so it's about a 1/2 inch to an inch from the top of the sump where it would overflow out of the sump. This becomes...

Glad I could be of help. What's really nice about these skimmers is they work out of the box with no mods needed. They can be set to skim wet or dry with little problem in adjustments. You will definitely love that skimmer and become a fanatic yourself! You think it's producing now, wait until...

Congrats! Carlo

I should have mentioned baby clams can use more phyto then adult clams but the amount is still questionable. Different studies give different numbers. Also worth noting some studies show growth being ok even without dosing it in established tanks. If you do get a 3" clam it might not be a bad...

They are pretty much opposites as far as care goes. Derasa clams are the easiest while Crocea are the hardest. Derasa tolerate just about any light and will live quite happily at the bottom of a 30" tank lit with PCs while crocea need more light then any other clam. Crocea are usually a prettier...

Many stores carry DT's or ReefNutrition brands and both are very good. But judging from the fact that you're asking where to purchase it I'd assume you haven't use it before. The question I'd want to ask you is why do you need it? Contrary to what you might have gotten from some advertising you...

Here's a little bit of info on the T1000 from one of our vendors website. It's rated between 125 to 250 and will hang in the middle of that range pretty well. I will add I've never used the original pump with them because I usually switch out pumps on "small" skimmers to a Red Sea Berlin pump...

I believe the 3Cs were discontinued Phil :( but replaced with a newer model that works even better now. :) Carlo

I know a lot of people like this unit but I had a problems with the double unit from autotopoff.com. Little strands of Cheato would get caught in it and it would stick. This would happen to both of them. A bunch of people on RC experienced the same type of thing happening and I took someone...

That's a really nice touch. You just don't see that level of service any more! Carlo

A larger in sump based one won't fit unless you pull out the stuff in the middle section and use that. I myself wouldn't do it or spend the money unless you have to. If what you have now works why change? If on the other hand you needed to add another skimmer I'd probably go with a T1000 which...
