    Tunze 3155 question

    BAck syphon caused by delivery hose below the water level in the tank. Sometimes with the Tunze nano you also have to plug it in and uplug it a few times to 'Prime' it. I've had it happen on occasion. Also, If your float switch ever goes, drop me a line, one of mine went on a tank and I just...

    The zoa frags are TINY, tiny enough that I question their survivability. Example, here's the Jungle Juice, they list at $9.99 per head. They are approximately 1/16th of an inch, or less, across when closed, as are the orange Bambams (also $9.99 per head). The pointer is a standard pen tip (just...

    Well, certainly cant reship the livestock back, too much for them I would think. I'll acclimate whats here and see if it survives. Pods I will dump in cheato area of fuge and when trimmed that should lower the levels in my tank. Mailed AD tonight, who knows?

    Excellent packaging. Overnight delivery. Livestock looks OK. But problem I'm not happy with. I initially placed an order containing a number of items, including 'Candy Apple Zoas'. I noted with that order that if 'Jungle Juice' zoas became available again (they were out), to please add 5 or so...

    TIgs, Haven't seen the pop ups, but I do have pop ups off on my machine, maybe thats why. I've got faith here in Christina and her site as she's sent me some quite detailed info on how she lost R2G and transitioned over to the AD name. Unsure of her aquarium experience, but she has a supplier...

    Agreed. CMantis, would love the link. Trio, soz, I had it posted for a bit but the order went fairly quickly. Christina mailed me and mentioned no other members ordered. I'll run a full review from unboxing to tank introduction. If all well, I'll set up a few group orders from a few shops before...

    Freshoffthegrill's 120G Reef Tank

    Looks great! The scale of the tank with the clowns makes me want to go out and do something that would inevitably lead to my wife murdering me (though there would then be a 120+ gallon tank available cheap)

    Steam Punk Lamp

    As I was a surviving artist for 15 years before dochood, I can offer these pieces of advice to drive up prices: 1. Aire of disinterested arrogance. 2. Beret if gauche, or top hat for eccentric. 3. Every few seconds during a conversation, become distracted, look at your hand, mutter something...

    mysterious deaths

    If a swing arm reader wouldn't trust it. If its digital, replace the batteries and try again. Again, just thoughts

    Whats your salinity? Cheap pumps will increase shock potential but it should affect corals first. If fish are passing and corals are ok...? Never hurts to check voltage regardless.

    Chemiclean and red slime algae

    Used recommended amount. Skimmer still going a bit nuts 48 hours later. Changed floss 3-4 times over past 2 days but tank looks fantastic. Pretty astounding results, rocks no longer covered, no strands, and all livestock happy.

    Bought 1976 Apache Mesa camper

    Was first in line and the owner gave me first refusal. We were there for an hour contemplating while 6 others showed up anxious to buy. We bought it. 5 congratulated us, one cursed us. Great shape, apparently one of the best hard sided pop-up campers made. Total noob to this. Anyone with any...

    Steam Punk Lamp

    You need to drop some cash and have someone set up a professional website for you. There are folks that would pay hundreds for these, no bs. The only way they could look better is that you balance them on the bumpy parts of supermodels when you advertise.

    DBTC!! Small frags from my breakdown

    Dipped the Rasta rock for 15 mins and tonight its fully opened. Looks fantastic and will become the centerpiece for my zoa tank. The small red frag is opening as well and looks like its got some great color. As mentioned, if you decide to get back in with a smaller tank in the future, please...

    Any thoughts or tips.

    Got this one. But first, thanks for the service to the officer pictured above the tank. Thoughts... Its a tank, on a stand with cool corner cuts, with some equipment, rocks, and livestock in it. Tips... Do no empty the water, dip live electric lines into the tank, or add shampoo to the tank to...

    Help trouble with glass panel in aquarium...Please help =(

    +1 and +1 on above posts. Sell it as a reptile tank. They will cover it with vines or a stone simulated panel and throw a snake or chameleon in there. And these guys/gals would be happy with a deal on a tank on craigslist, they usually purchase those big tanks at full price. But, if you want a...

    Check your test kit. Sounds like rising ammonia, basslets are fairly resistant and clowns are very resistant, so the order of expiration seems to fit. Is your test kit in date? Is it a decent kit? Maybe run a test and note your results then bring a sample to a local shop and have them test to...

    Just bumping this. Following the discussion I am ordering. If you're within 20 mins of Brick I'm happy to deliver if you decided to order, or you're always welcome to stop in for a pick up and have a cold beer (or hot coffee). Orders need to be placed by tomorrow, choose combined shipping...
