Agway's usually have it. I used Mrs. Wages and switched to ESV on John's recommendation. ESV has less impurities and seems to keep the ph elevated better. AO ran a group buy for us a while back. Premium Aquatics carries it as well.

After a soak in vineagar and water I would rinse and fill with RODI. Let it soak for a day and test the TDS. If it goes up, repeat the rinse and fill with RODI until the TDS doesn't change. then I would use it.

Pretty clean tank if it took ten weeks to turn brown. You may not need them. I change mine every other day. I love that dirty water...but not Boston!

Great Jim! I expect a wrasse catcher is already being designed. ;)

Since the yellows are one of those burrow in the sand and sleep in a coat of mucus species, I'd be optimistic about his recovery. I lost mine when he found a small gap in the eggcrate covering what was his happy home for almost 2 years. Since he saw still a little damp I tossed him in the sump...

OMG! RichT a neighbor....sort of! We don't have an extra room but I do know where you can stop by for a meal and refreshments!

And the winner is....... Baking soda! Baked if you have low ph, not baked if your ph is in the OK to high range.

I don't rinse any frozen foods. Most, if not all, commercial frozen foods have some sort of beneficial additive. If your phosphate levels are problematic, look to flow, skimming and water changes first. I don't run phosban either. Well fed corals and fish do better than underfed organisms in...

Happy belated Easter! I need a day off to recover. ::)

I would recommend a Carl Spakcler hybrid: This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the...

Look! :o Sand! ;D Now I care. ;) Coming along nicely.

It's almost as heinous as selling drinking water in a bottle! ;)

Happy happy birthday!! ;D

I can't see the pics as work blocks many hosting sites. IME and as Hawkeye refers to, starfish can fall apart due to starvation, non-optimal water conditions (most have higher standards) and improper acclimation.

Amen to that! And I'm a very proud father today as I have a daughter who stocked the fridge with Guiness, Harp and Smithwicks!

OK, so I'll make one comment. This piece confirms what I have observed and reported when others have insisted that you don't get any conversion to nitrogen in sandbeds that aren't greater than 6 to 8 inches. My sandbeds have always been in the 3 to 5 inch range with zero measurable nitrates...

Just popped in to tell Merv I'm passing on this discussion! 8)

I've always loved Ramerizi's. Note to self, must not participate in this conversation. Freshwater urges can lead to setting up more tanks! :o

I'm using one for 3 years now. Where is the water level coming up to?

I'm consistently inconsistent. ::) I adjusted the 180 upstairs and skipped the 75 in the basement.
