Fred, I thought I saw banding on the tenticles, which is typical to the small brittle stars that end up in our tank. Here is a typical small brittle star. Note the banded tenticles.

You do not want "horticulture" fixtures...they tend to be 4000 to 6500 kelvin, which is great for plants, but will make your corals look brown. Also note that Apollo unfortunately is no longer in business. And FYI, I have two Apollos over my tank.

The closest are what Zippy stated OG2 and Fengs.....right down 22 (and Feng's a mile off 22.) However, if you feel like a little bit of Italy, right around the corner from Bridgewater Raritan HS is Maggiano's....an Italian restaurant. Good food. I only pity you in that it is very close to...

Zippy had some good advice about slowly raising your numbers. Note calc isn't as damaging as alc as far as quick rises in concentration. Here's what I'd do.....385 isn't that low.....I'm assuming you are daily dosing alc and calc. I'd slight increase that dose of calc to slowly bring...

Yes, you want to make solution 1....and with BRS, I believe they use an anhydrous calcium chloride, so I believe it's two cups calcium chloride to one gallon of RO/DI water. Note, it is an exothermic dissolution, so it will get slightly warm while it dissolves.

I believe I see banding on those tentacles and that would make that a mini brittle starfish.....a good hitchhiker.

Paul, I find this story very shocking. So what you are tell us is that Supermarkets don't have Supermodels. I guess I won't be hanging out at supermarkets any more. :o Are you sure this Jewish princess said "sticks" and not stones. It's common practive to place stones on a Jewish...

Wow! That's a new one for me. I've got to believe it's in that little strip mall right next to East Brunswick Plumbing Supply....I'm there frequently.

Are we talking about this guy circled in red? My guess is that it's a sponge.

So are your three Tunze's being shipped for 15 clams each?

But if you click on Add to Cart, it says, "This item does not exist or is not available at this time." I think North Korea hacked their site. :o

Well, after seeing the prices Picasso's juvenile crap...I mean art...can cost, I'm figuring the artistic value of these table lamps would bring in 50 to 100 thousands each..................as a skimmer, about $150. If you purchase both table lamps, I'll cut you a break. :o

Jim, I have the same problem with two MRC skimmers. I was thinking wiring them with a light kit and shade and making them into end table lamps. :p

Chris, great to see you've got this problem licked. Now I know who to call when my Apollos crap out. Note, I would have loved to see pictures of this fix. I'm an idiot when it comes to electronics. EDIT TO ADD: Interestingly, I just looked at my two Apollos, and one of them has one LED...

Again, I use the Python hose to pump fresh saltwater into the tank. My guess is that it's 5/8 to 3/4 inch hose. EDIT TO ADD: If you are talking about the tee, I'd use 3/4 pipe all around. Here is the tee I did on an older tank. Note the valve is out of the picture to the right.

Wait one minute....a MAG 9.5 has NPT threading....national pipe thread. I've made this little things to convert NPT to "Hose" connection since I use Python hoses, which have "hose" threading. These converters are simply made with two pieces of CPVC fittings. Note, my local HD does not...

ACC is not far from Mike and Nicole's place...and I'm pretty sure phyto was one of the choices in their food bar.

You could always build a box fairly inexpensively to hide the Brute somewhere in the house. The box would be a bit more presentable than the plain Brute can. Or if you still wish to keep it in the garage, make the box slightly larger and insulate that box.

I would put more trust in the mercury thermometer than the "temp probe." I'm assuming the "temp probe" is some probe attached to a controller. If that is the case, it can and should be calibrated.

Chris, I sent you a pm.
