Yeah, as said, salt water corrodes solder over time like Alien's blood. Best bet is if anything ever hits salt water again is to obviously unplug and if you can open it up do it immediately run any electronics boards under cold tap water for a minute or so, lightly (very lightly) rub the area...

If there are still some shields and the Hawkins has good timing...

I'm pretty simple as well. Would be content with a Huracan.

Thanks. :) Yeah, I do use a float switch and it did turn off after an hour, hasn't come back on since. On the defective unit I completely shut the line down and it still kept 'dry' cycling through till the next morning. So new one is good and producing RODI like mad (seriously, its insane, I may...

Grew phyto for a while and f2 was the 'go to' food. Do some research as the standard garden grow stuff in the yellow bottle work just as well (nitrates, phosphates, carbon as Mark mentioned)- Miracle Grow liquid I think it was. After I ran out of my initial f2 I tried it - it wworked wonders and...

Albert and Eric, Welcome aboard!

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. You guys are OK.

Dave, MrX, think you guys mentioned you run them. For you, and anyone else - When using the pump and your storage container is full, do your pump cycle on and off every few seconds? I thought I had a bad pump, customer service (customer service at AL is fantastic) sent me another. I hooked it...

If this is BRS they're doing the same pricing with free shipping on orders over $29 at the moment. I just picked up 2 blue plus 36" for $38 with free shipping. Would be happy to order another 4 bulbs if you need to bulk up the order at all to hit a discount, lemme know!

Lemme dig through my sump and overflow tomorrow. I know I have aptasia as I found a few a couple weeks back. If anyone can chime in on aptasia removal - razor blade or credit card - would appreciate. If I find and am able to gather some, I have some decent rubble rocks (liverock) as well.

Call them ‘Nuclear Death Bouncers’ and sell them on R2R for $500 a piece.

Its like an 8-track, only flatter, sorta like a floppy disc.

I went with these on a number of previous tanks and will happily use them in the future (and currently have one on a 40b going on 3 years now)... http://www.eshopps.com/overflowboxes They also come with a hard plastic drilling template for the tank. CPR also does some high quality build, over...

Get a CD, tie a string through the hole, hang it from a branch or a pole over or next to the pond. Wind blows the CD, CD spins and shines and reflects light, birds get scared away due to the movement. Started doing this 2 years ago and the local heron hasn't taken a fish since.

They are dead, about 60% of the order. Contacted John who happily agreed to a refund. Just waiting on it to come through, will keep you folks informed.

? 65w, 30", $20, in Point MIght be a nice supplemental https://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/ele/d/point-pleasant-beach-aquarium-lighting/7118662389.html

Welcome aboard! Nice setup. Im in the 'Go with a sump 100%' group. Eshopps makes a hang on back overflow that is pretty darn reliable (I used them for years never a worry)). Then you can cut out that CPR hang on fuge and just build one into the sump. For a 50g you dont need anything crazy, you...

I may have one in the garage, charge is zero. I'll check tomorrow morning. Where are you located?

Dude, Keep the tank as a 'pest tank' and don't do anything to it, just run an ato and throw any odd frag or piece of rock in it. Started my pest tank 2 years ago with some aptasia, no water changes, no skimmer, no fuge. Two years later I have some insane mushrooms, multiple types of zoa, and an...

Beautiful setup! Unfortunately this hobby is a live and learn situation. If you cycled the tank for those 4 months with the rocks and some sort of additive (a few pinches of food occasionally, a dead shrimp from Shop-rite, or even urine) in that amount of time it should have cycled. Those rocks...
