    NJRC Members

    Thank you for the kind words, the feeling is mutual, as well as it is with all the members of this club that I've come in contact with so far. It was nice to meet both you and your brother.

    External Pump Advice Needed - URGENT!

    I don't have any personal experience, since I've never wanted to tempt fate, but have read a number of posts, over the years, on line about them developing leaks. Although there may be a few, maybe a couple of the Eheim models that are built well enough, I'm not confident that any pump made for...

    Salifert VS Red Sea Reef Foundation Pro Test Kit

    I know, but I don't think, given the fact that all these parameters have a healthy "range", i.e. Alk between 7 and 11 dKH or 8 and 12 dKH depending on who you talk to, a difference of .2 or .3 is relatively small. Also some difference will exist because of how someone determines the "end point"...

    External Pump Advice Needed - URGENT!

    I have two mag 9.5's for returns, and like them a lot. But I don't know that I would trust them externally.

    Salifert VS Red Sea Reef Foundation Pro Test Kit

    My supply of Salifert test kits was getting low, so I decided to give the new Red Sea Pro test kits a try. I bought the Red Sea Reef Foundation Pro kit, which includes tests for: Ca, Mg and Alk. First consideration was the cost, I used BRS since they sell both brands and used "preferred...

    Think my Basset may have lympho, any new treatments for it? I cant go thru it again!

    Good to hear. I'm betting he'll be just fine.

    How can my Ca be high and my Alk be fine?

    Since you've started to add some "stoney" corals and are thinking about clams, it's become more important that you start to monitor your Ca, Mg and Alk, since they'll be taken up more quickly and need to be kept at acceptable levels. Like Craig said as long as they are within a certain range you...

    Ro/di

    I have a 75gpd unit that is right on the money @ ~ 3gal./hr. My pressure is at 60psi and the gauge is located between my prefilters and the membrane, so I don't know what the house pressure is. Is it a new unit?

    High School Reefer Madness

    I don't know what test kits he's using, but if he's reading NO2, there must be something going on. I hope he wasn't intending to mark papers this weekend. :courage:

    High School Reefer Madness

    I can't be sure, but it looks/sounds to me like there might have been enough die off from the old rock/sand that a cycle has already started. Considering that the foam my be from a fractionation event from the overflow, a skimmer might help accelerate the cycle. I would say that if you were...

    BRS Group Buys

    I have to assume that the "preferred customer" discount is the same for everyone, and I had a good cross section of products, both large and small to include: GFO, Two Part, RO/DI filters, filter sox, test kits, etc. and saw no difference in the GB or "preferred" Pricing. You still have to meet...
