Try Radio Shack. This one would work.

Sid, they have a contact page that has email addresses that you can try. Sam@poconocoralfarm.com is the owner. Might have some luck with that.

I think Mark (the thread starter) is talking about a fish trapped in the back chambers of an all-in-one style tank... not a typical overflow in a standard reef ready tank. Just thought I'd add that to help people get an idea of his situation. Here's a pic of what the chambers look like in the...

That is pretty amazing. I watched the Ball-Bearing one after that and it explains the process a bit better. It's basically just using a bonding agent instead of ink to draw the object, then it brushes a thin layer of powder on top, then another layer of bonding agent, etc... after enough...

Thanks again for hosting the meeting Jesse and Colleen. I have to agree with everyone above... the food was excellent and your setup was really cool. The upstairs one was nicely decorated with the tile background, stone bed, and the variety of shells, etc. It really caught your eye when you walk...

I read the blog. The new owners are unknown, but the President (same one as before) states they plan to keep things as they always were and actually plan to expand to start raising more species. This might make them even better than before.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for sharing. Were they bought out by a commercial company just buying the name, or are the new owners small enough to care about the things that made them such great breeders?

I agree with downbeach on all of his last post. - Nothing is too far off to be worried about right now. - Switch to 10G / week WC - 32G Brute works great for mixing salt, also use 2 powerheads to mix it, but I don't wait 24 hrs before mixing like him. I think aerating is a key point worth...

I'm even happier now that I originally chose the VorTech. You have to give credit to Tunze though for their response to the study. At least they admitted they were wrong with their advertised flow rates and explained how they came up with them to begin with. With limited test methods available...

He does have a RO/DI, not sure on what salt brand though. I think Reef Crystals? First off, I agree that water changes should be the first move before dosing anything! Also, if/when you dose, read the instructions carefully, and keep a calculator handy. Don't forget to estimate how many gallons...

Very cool story, thanks for sharing James! I wonder if they told him about those webbed gloves they have? They sort of act like fins for the hands. When you close your fingers, the webbing folds in and there's no resistance on the upswing. I would think this would be very helpful to this...

Happy B-Day Rich!

Haha! How did you know that Phil? My reply to MBodells' thread? Sid... I eradicate all my asterinas when I find them in my DT!

Sorry for getting back so late Dave. I got tied up digging out my camping stuff and forgot to let you know about the test kit. I don't have a standard Alk test any more. I must have thrown it out when I bought the Hanna Meter. :'(

Yep, you are right Phil. I removed the screen this weekend to find out. Only prob was that I didn't have a hose the right size to fit inside the opening. I did however have an MJ 1200 box of parts that had like a tier'd extension piece with a smaller strainer that fit perfectly. I switched to...

If that's the case, hold off for at least one more day Dave. Let me check to see if I have a conventional Alk kit that I could give you. I have the Hanna one and wouldn't ever need it if I still have the old kind. I'll reply back here later tonight if I have one for you. Definitely get...

Phil, do you have a link to "ORP for Dummies" ? There is a lot of great and useful info in there, but it made my brain hurt. :o Gonzapa, sorry to hear about your incident. Hopefully you can find out the cause soon and get your reef back on track.

Only 3 days late, but Happy Belated Greg! ;D

For Alk, I recommend the Hanna Instruments photometers. They are fast, accurate, and digital reading (in PPM) that just makes testing for Alk easy. They have other meters available and they are supposed to have a Ca meter coming out this month. If you aren't in a rush, you could wait for our...

That skimmer is a beast Bob, and in very good condition.
