    DIY Float Switch on the Cheap

    So I've received a couple PM's about the use of a relay, eliminating it all together, and tonight, the wiring. I wanted to resurrect this post to comment about the use of a relay. What a relay does in this application is switch on and off the 110 volt supply by only using the 12 volt DC...

    BRS Dual Reactor

    It sounds like you could be getting some detritus build-up. What pump are you using. I'm using a Cobalt MJ1200 and the only time I had problems with flow was when I wasn't running any GFO and also had no cannister in the GFO chamber. Once I put the empty cannister back in (with the foam...

    Best affordable reef salt?

    There is no "best." It's what works for you. I'm very happy with plain old Instant Ocean. Fosters & Smith regularly have a sale for $40 for a 200 gallon box.....with free shipping. Ocean Gallery II also just had a sale for $40 a box.

    The Hummers Have Returned

    For those making you're own "nectar", for the first time, one cup sugar to a total of three cups. Once you start to attract hummers, one cup sugar to a total of four cups. I use a four cup Pyrex measuring cup to make up my sugar solution....slightly warmed water in the microwave, before...

    Lost Everything due to my stupidity in not getting a generator!

    Sorry to see this. If I knew about this I would have brought my generator over for you.....I'm next door in Sayreville. I also wonder if the Verizon strike had anything to do with it taking so long. I say that because a woman took out a pole yesterday on Washington road (major road...

    If you could have one frag....

    My thing is simply having success in growing whatever. Not really into the overpriced named pieces, if anything, because their colors are always exaggerated by the camera techniques of the sellers. However, if Walt Disney Tenuis looked liked the seller's pictures in my tank, I'd consider...
