    Denitrator to CalcReactor

    I used a calcium reactor as a sulfer denitrator, but I haven't tried using it as a Kalk reactor (did you mean Kalk or Calcium?). Our Kalk reactor has a stir pump and feeds fresh water into the bottom of the reactor and then the kalk water comes out the top and is sent over to the sump. Do you...

    Opinions on Seachem Reef Salt

    Small water changes more frequently rather than 10-20% changes. Don't mix them together when changing the water though.

    wanna see how you scratch a $20K fish tank

    I want to throw up just watching that. How sad. That kid who scratched it must feel like beetle dung. O.M.G.

    Opinions on Seachem Reef Salt

    I posted that. While they are mixed at the same factory it is unlikely that they are the same formula and my not even use the same components.

    I wonder what the silicates test out at... can anyone who has been using it for 6mo+ tell me if it leaves behind a diatom/brown film on the mixing container?

    FED-EX

    There were some SERIOUS delays with shipping due to the weather in that area this week. We got caught up in it too (but I don't know the carrier).

    Opinions on Seachem Reef Salt

    I also heard that Gary's prices have gone up. I have not confirmed this. I've heard good stories from people who are using it. One of Ed's friends, RichT, etc. They are our MACNA XXI Venue Sponsor. I would love to have a batch tested to see how it holds up "in court".

    posting pictures

    You've posted the thumbnail instead of the photo itself. Check your link... Strike that... I thought you were posting from our gallery. That's a common mistake. I looked at the file and you need to have a file with roughly 600pixels wide for a good viewing size. The 150px width is good for...

    Need some help

    Is the temperature correct when she adds the water in? What percentage is she changing? What's the PH of the new saltwater? PH of the tank? Are the fish breathing heavily? TDS of the RO/DI water?

    New 325 Build

    The stand looks REALLY solid. Where are you putting the tank? Which floor? How many # of live rock are you planning? What part of Jersey are you from?

    Do we have any tank and stand builders yet?

    MikeM would make a great cabinet/canopy for you and SGarron made a great glass tank. If you're looking for Acrylic then RichT is your guy. Hope that helps! Good luck!

    Anyone used this PO4 photometer?

    We use the Hanna meter which is only supposed to be accurate to .04. If this meter were truly to be accurate to .01 that would be quite impressive. I don't know of anyone who's ever used one though. Let us know how it goes if you get it!

    Here's my Big Office System

    Re: Here's my 120 If the overflows are blue I'd leave the background blue. I was thinking that you should start a new one, but the history... Hmmm... You could always link the first page of the new thread to the 120 thread (and v.v). ::shrug:: That skimmer picture made me LOL and I can SMELL...

    What is this? Big brainy looking thing ... ?

    Those really light areas look bleached to me. I wonder what color it is supposed to be... the color at the top looks more natural. I would second that they really don't like a ton of light.
