Yes, having extra salt-water made up in reserve is always a good idea. My suggestion would be to do this in conjunction with a large water change (say 25-30%) so have enough water made up to replace that much, plus an extra 5 or 10 gallons (just in case)... and do the following: 1. Make sure...

I typically use CoralRX Pro and/or ReVive for my dipping. But, I've heard good things about the Bayer Advanced so I plan on trying that when my current supplies run out.

Thanks for popping in to clear that up for us Marc... and thanks for setting up the coupon code for our members too. Hopefully some will get to take advantage of that.

I would have recommended quarantining him in a separate, self contained tank (for a minimum of 1 month). That way, you can observe him for parasites and diseases and also get him accustomed to whatever food you will feed him later on. Being alone in a tank will reduce the stress and they will...

Must have been pretty exciting for people who were there. Not a good story for the critters in the tank though. :(

OK, now you have me worried Paul! Does your wife know you're into that sort of thing? :o Basics on Weldon Products: Weldon #4 is most commonly used, but you could use #3 also (it just sets a bit faster than #4). #16 is good for repairs as it's a thicker substance and I think dries even faster...

Ugh, sorry to hear that Steve. You've been thru enough already so this must have been really tough to deal with. Let me know when you get the 180 going and I'll try to help stock it with some corals.

If you're dosing during the day then I'd recommend taking a fresh C1 sample each time you do a test. Otherwise, your tests won't be accurate.

Looks nice and Milwaukee does make quaility equipment so I'm sure it's worth the heavy price tag. I'm happy with my Hanna meter though and I don't have any issues with inconsistencies.

Matt, are you sure it's not just a "false reading" and that the HA isn't just consuming it all?

Not exactly "tank" related, but my gift was hobby related and technically I can use it to take pics of/in my tank so I think it qualifies. I got the Hero 3 HD Black Edition camera with the LCD Touch BackPac, an extra battery, and a few different mounting accessories. Can't wait to take this...

Great build Paul. I never thought to use PVC pipe to make one but this seems like a very economical way to do it. I built my own also, but it's much different than yours. I was looking for a way to make one that I could hide under my stand but be easily accessible to empty when it was full...

That is great news!

Looks great. Guess you rebounded well after Sandy.

Thanks for catching that Jim. I mistakenly entered "2" for the start date of the event instead of "26". Guess I missed the 6 when I created it. Should be fixed now.

LOL Paul! Merry Christmas Everyone! Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Rob, Heard back from him last night. He said he would love to but doesn't have a tank big enough (nor room to put in another tank) so he will have to pass. Sorry it didn't work out. Good luck finding him a new home.

If that's true, then I'd be interested in hearing more about it. Would we have to order direct from EcoTech or through a supplier? What would the breakdown be for discount tiers?

Hey Rob. That's a nice looking turtle you got there. My bro-in-law is a long-time reptile keeper and has had many different species of turtles, snakes, lizards, etc. Anyway, I sent him an email to see if he's interested. Not sure if he has a tank available that's big enough for this guy, but...
