    Need help.. Diamond Hole Saw

    We used our dremel to do it (which you're welcome to borrow if you need). A hole saw might be hard to keep in place unless you build a tall outline with tape. Jose (JF2381) had a thread up here with a link to where he picked his up at, if I'm not mistaken. I'll see if I can dig it up.

    Phosphate meter

    We have one, purchase from Premium Aquatics in a group buy. It is the Hanna Meter. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it is easy to use and gives predictable results as long as you're following the directions.

    My 29g Salwater conversion

    Our overflow box uses an aqualifter to keep air out of the "tube" to ensure that the box doesn't fail. It works great... until the aqualifter fails. We always have an extra handy.

    No problem! Hopefully you get more advice specific to your questions this way.

    ph ?

    Not until you verify all of your tests. How are you testing the PH?

    Re: AC Jr opinons (how does it compare to an AC3)

    Re: AC 3 or ReefKeeper The second PH port is most useful when you're using a Ca reactor so that the other one can be watching the tank PH. The orp depends on your likelihood to use ORP. Comparison Chart You just look down the list of check marks and see which ones you think you're likely to...

    AC 3 or ReefKeeper

    The Junior is a fine controller, but it doesn't do everything that a AC3 can do. It only has 1 PH port, doesn't have an ORP port... there is probably a comparison chart on Neptune for them. A LOT of people in the club have the Neptune line of controllers from the AC Jr to the AC3 to AC Pro...

    ph ?

    Bringing your Alk up also resutled in your PH coming up. That probably means that your Ca is low. Do you know what that number is?

    Protect my hard wood floors

    Drill into the wall and feed the pipes down into the basement through the wall. The water that spills will now be on your basement floor. You're not as likely to spill large amounts of water on the hardwood if the sump is in the basement. It also gives you more room for the equipment that you...

    harlequin shrimp

    The only thing that they eat are starfish. You need to be committed to the purchase of a chocolate chip starfish once week or so for their consumption. Without that food source they will die. They are cool to watch, but at 15-20$ every two weeks, they're an investment.

    30 Gallon Adventure: R

    Ammo is the first step in the cycle. You can have ammonia AGAIN because of the system starting a new cycle due to a change in the feeding or bio-load. With a 30g tank the water is very sensitive to changes. My guess is that you'll see the trites & trates begin to rise next. Just because a tank...

    Octopus Extreme Skimmer

    You could wait until next year... not all corals require skimmed water... and you could just change a lot of water between now and then to make up for it!!
