Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I own 7 Korallia pumps of various sizes and I think they are awesome. But I seen a couple of Members using the Maxijet Sure flow Mod kits and I have to be honest, the soft start function and programability of the Maxijets is something I like so much more than the Koralia's ability to just stay...
It's actually a weird situation.
The RO from Costco is just that RO... which is good to drink.
The ones we use for our tanks are RODI .... which is really bad to drink. Without getting too technical the DeIonization that goes on in the RODI strips the water to it's barest/emptiest form. When...
Salifert and API ... API i got when I started and moved to Salifert ... but Salifert test are hard to find, although now that I know TFJ has them instock I'll be getting them there.
LMAO ...
As far as your low PH I have the same issue ... I'm getting a Kalk reactor soon.
But in the meantime what I've been doing is everytime I do a 30gallon water change (Once a Week) I raise the Ph in the change water to 8.25 with a Reef Buffer. I test my dKH, Mag and Calcium and I've...

AWI has some really nice stuff and we're wrapping up the AWI group by on Friday so you have 2 days to post an order if you're a member and interested.

I would be crushed if I lost my...
Unless there is a specific species that requires multiple feedings per day (seahorse for example) You should be fine with 3 days of no food.
I think the last time I fed my reef was 2 days ago. I feed my seahorse tank twice a day though.
I think people label fish as difficult to keep or hard to keep so they can feel better about themselves after the fish dies. People need to take that extra step at the LFS and make sure the fish is healthy and eating, make sure the fish has been in the store for more than a couple days, and...
What kind of bad news?
