Poor connection? Make a run to IceCap...sale ends today.

Ed, we’re only problems if you take away our tanks,,,than we become real dangerous. The therapeutic abilities of a tank full of fish (and coral) far outweigh the abilities of a naugahyde couch belonging to some psycho-babblist. You sit down in front of your baby and all your troubles melt away...

DON’T DO ANYTHING WITH YOUR TANK YET! Something just hit me…..ouch! My brain started to work. The number Jon originally supplied might be right….that is, if it is actually a refractometer that is giving him the “refractive index,” not the “specific gravity.” The ones most of us buy are actually...

We use a Tupperware (or is it rubbermaid?), with a powerhead to mix the saltwater.  You want to do this at least 24 hours before you use it…to allow all the stuff to dissolve.  You also want to mix your salt before taking it out of the container.  The small stuff settles to the bottom.  We buy...

Re: Salinity way to high Jon, the skeptic I am, why are you blaming the hydrometer? Has the refractometer been calibrated? It would be nice if you could verify which one is giving you the bogus number by testing someone else’s tank or using their refractometer to see which one is correct...

Depends on whom you talk to. I’ve been told anywhere from 2.5 meq/l (7 dKH), to 4.29 meq/l (12 dKH), is an acceptable level. But what do I know?

The "bulb" group buy ended this past Sunday. Also had to be a member to take advantage of the deal...a good reason to join! :)

To start by answering the question; I have been told, by people who know you, that you’re terribly confused. ;D Now as far as your alk and ph…what’s the problem? Assuming the 4.23 is meq/l, everything looks just fine. Now I’m confused. ???

When you catch the bugger, I’ve got some tasty six-line recipes that are finger lick’in good. ;D

A 20 x 12 x 8 is only an 8 gallon sump...that's a bit too small for my tastes.  I'd like to see something in the 20 - 30 gallon range.  If you're handy, build your own using a used tank that you could pick up cheap.

Candi, can’t help you with detail. Onefish handles all that. I will point you in the direction of a neat little calculator that figures out the amount of Ca, Alk or Mg you need to add to your tank, specific to the brand you are using. Here it is… hope it helps a little...

Does anyone have knowledge of using a SCWD (Switching Current Water Director)? Thinking about putting a closed loop on the next build and including this to make switching currents. Want to know what people who have used one think about them. The best part for me is that it doesn’t require...

Here's a pic of an ORA Bird of Paridise:
