    Water change problems!

    Your testing is off either in your salinity being very low or testing of alk, calc and mag. Instant Ocean at 35 ppt should be around 400 Calc, 11 dkh Alk and 1350 Mag.

    Tunze wavebox

    Jim, I remember this being demo'ed at one of our meetings....maybe 2008 or so. It's the only wavebox that I've ever seen that truly worked. If I remember correctly, at the time, Tunze was the only powerhead that could be switched on and off repeatedly. If someone is looking for a wavebox...

    Need some sump advice

    You are correct...that first one is a wet/dry trickle sump common with freshwater. I have heard of people converting them to salt, but believe there are better options. My suggestion is a 40B sump. More volume, better choice. I too have a 90 gallon and have what I though was a 40B, but...

    Any AC experience here?

    Agree a mini split/ductless unit is the way to go for a nice finished look. However, there is one other setup you could consider, and if only interested in cooling, most likely the least expensive. First pick up the window air conditioner you'll need....let's say a 15K unit. Now cut a...

    Dorso Question

    Couldn't quickly find it online at a dollar store, but did find it at Temu for under 2 bucks HERE or at Harbor Freight for $4 HERE. When I've ordered from Temu in the past, it took about a week to get here. So that's what they are called....flexible grabber tool.....I like nose picker better.

    Dorso Question

    Mark, do you have a nose picker….sorry, that’s what my kids called it when they were growing up. I’d try using that to fish out the parts from the bottom of the overflow. If you don’t have one, they are pretty inexpensive….and I think some dollar stores might have them in their hardware...

    Ocean water

    Common practice in Florida to use ocean water, especially with aquarium maintenance companies. I've seen a water truck pulled out to the end of a pier sucking up water. I'm also pretty sure @Paul B runs his water through a diatomaceous earth filter.

    To skim or not to skim

    @diana a , I feel the same way….no such thing as overskimming. If there is nothing there to skim, it won’t skim….but again, their efficiency is down around 25%, so it’s not an issue. When I first started I was into beckett’ed skimmers and on my 90 DT I started with an MRC M1…don’t remember...

    To skim or not to skim

    24/7 as well. Skimmers are so inefficient you need to run them full time. I also believe they are important for gas exchange.....getting the "bad" gasses out.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paul, buying a Chinese-made phone just doesn't seem to fit your American-Made persona. I did a search for you and found an American made phone just for you....and doesn't need a teenager to show you how to use it! :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

    DIY Doser Container

    Home Depot....and what do you mean by rigid....like the tubing on our RO/DI units? Either way, HD has all different OD/ID plastic tubing. I buy the large roll because it's the same tubing on the sliding board on my pool.

    Lacey act

    I rec'd a PM that stated dogs snd cats would be exempt. In looking back at the Act I've found contradicting verbage. Some say dogs and cats are included while others state they're exempt. All other pets would be included....birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. Either way, my kids had...

    Lacey act

    Hard to believe this amendment (as written) will ever go through. It includes transporting any of your pets....yes, that includes Muffy and Butterball....crossing State lines. That would be illegal. :oops: So no vacations out of state with your pets. And if you move out of State...
