Nitrite levels in saltwater tanks never get high enough to impact the fish (and other invertebrates). However, you do have to watch nitrite levels in freshwater tanks. HERE is a nice read from Dr. Randy.

Sorry for your loss. That stinks! You save him after months in the overflow and he then passes. :(

Skinned the back and front with ¼ inch ply and primed the inside with Kilz. The back ¼ ply was glued and nailed with 1 inch wire brads while the front was glued and screwed in place. The screws were puttied with wood filler.

With saltwater, not one bit. As a matter of fact, throw that test kit away. Nitrite is never an issue with saltwater livestock. For the life of me, I don't know why people test for it, other then tracking a cycle. Only need to test for ammonia (very "poisonous"), and nitrate (final...

It looks like Bella had one too many at the bar! :grin: Keep the pictures coming.

George, I’d definitely go with face-frame construction…for the stand and the side cabinet. The side cabinet walls could be a ½ ply by itself or ¼ ply with a fir stir at the corners to support the back piece.....both are available as furniture grade with oak veneer. Look at your kitchen...

Unless they are doing something totally different, all meetings have been 1 to 5 on a Saturday.

Keep the angel right where he is and set up an all-in-one nano for the corals you would like to keep

What are Chinese LEDs, Alex?

OK, so this is George’s fault. He questioned how I was holding the ReefKeeper to the stand and I commented that four stainless steel machine bolts would hold it on. I had already drilled the holes and purchased over seven dollars in stainless steel hardware. So with further thought I...

That means I've warned you. You might want to pick up earplugs so you can get to sleep.

:grin: It's a loud 68 decibels. :grin:

If two, 15 A outlets meet your needs, than you’ll be fine. You should also know that these inexpensive generators are very loud….very loud. The further you can get it from the house, the better off you’ll be. This will be the cheapest 328 dollar insurance policy you’ll ever buy. Mine...

Nice! 6000 watts, you could run your entire house. I have a 3650 watt and I ran it 24/7 during Sandy and powered my boiler, refrigerator, television, entire tank, and a few lights. You’re not done spending money. That middle plug I think is a 30 three prong circular outlet. You most...

I haven't been there yet, but has anyone checked out Feng's new place in Dunellen?

Ouch! There's a strike against Revive. :o My Bayer Complete would have got him! :grin:

I ended up using boiling RO/DI water because I had quite a few in a small tank (JBJ 28) and was concerned that any chemical means (including lemon juice), would poison the tank. I first started using my turkey baster, but the heat made that cheap dollar store baster crack its entire length...

Actually I’ve had some recent issues with RC and I’ve been doing some research….part of which covered the mixing thing and how long you could keep the saltwater. Here’s what the good Dr. Randy Holmes Farley had to say about sitting saltwater: "Depends on the salt mix and whether it has...

Judeo, not sure if I’m seeing the picture clearly, but it would appear that the stand is assembled with screws supporting all the weight. This isn’t a good thing. You ideally want a design similar to this: This is easily fixed by cutting more dimensional lumber that snuggle fits between...
