Be sure to use the correct tool when measuring additives, supplements, etc. P.S. never let your wife know you used her measuring spoons. ;)

These are 2 different pieces. Are they dead or alive?

Looking for small or medium.

I have a Mudder PH / TDS meter. I went to test the water today and the meter wouldn't stabilize, jumping all over from like 8 to 19. Not sure if it needs new batteries or calibrated. Any ideas? Thanks Mark

My HOB skimmer fed into a 5g bucket just in case of overflow. Well was gone 2 days and bucket overflowed and had about 10g water all over my laminate floor. Guess I should have installed a switch to turn off skimmer when bucket was near full. Live and learn. All being said the skimmer I have...

Question. I used a HOB filter for the hospital tank but would like to add it on on to DT later to run GFO. How do I clean it to ensure no copper get into the DT and kills coral? Thanks Mark

I picked up the box from Dan today. I only wanted the UPS. If any one can use the other stuff let me know. Mainly halide fixtures and bulbs. Will get some pics.

Bought one and placed it under a shelf rock to shield light. It has not opened up yet. Should I leave it be or move it some place else.

The Ceriths keep laying eggs. I have these every where and assume they are baby snails. Am I right?

I posted else where I have new LED lights but will tell you what happened prior. I would say a month ago maybe a bit more I was walking through the house and smelled something funny. After looking I chalked it up to something burning while dinner was cooking. But still every week or so would...

I hung my LED lights today. Tried using one hook each but doesn't look good. Left them until I can get 2 more hooks.

How much water fow is required? Its between some rocks and I can see the tube moving from the flow. It only popped out once in the dark last night. Can it have to much flow?

Just wanted to wish all you reefers a Happy Thabksgiving. Hope everyone has a great time with friends and family.

After searching the rails, arms, mounts etc. are a bit out of my price range right now. So was looking into a DIY rail. I was thinking of something hat sits on top of the tank about 10" or 12" high. The tank is a bow front so not sure the best method. It would have to be 48" long and 7" to 7.5"...

With my new LEDs this fixture is free. Its a Solar Extreme 4 bulb 48". The 2nd and 4th positions will not light up even with working bulbs. I have about 8 old bulbs that go with it. Paid NJRC members get first shot.

I setup my QT and placed the sole survivor in the 10g tank. I added the first dosage; and it says to wait 48hrs and repeat. My question is do I dose every 48hrs or is two doses the end? It does say to keep the fish in solution for 14 days. I plan to keep the fish out out the main tank for 90...

Today noticed only 2 of the 4 bulbs were lit on my Solar Extreme T5 fixture. Since its old I assumed the bulbs went so replaced them and still no light. The bulbs are good because I swapped them with the working ones. It seems to be those to positions 1 and 3. I placed two 14k bulbs in position...
