    looking to buy a RO/DI unit..questions

    I’m not familiar with a 24gpd filter, but I’d look at the ejection efficiency. When I purchased mine, the 75 gpd membrane was the most efficient….98% ejection. Also realize that you’ll want a DI unit as well. I wouldn’t skimp here…..For the few extra bucks, I’d look at a 75 gpd membraine...

    DIY Aquarium Stand

    Here’s RC’s plan. With a four foot tank, you can use 2 x 4’s all the way around. Then you skin the stand in whatever you want.

    75 or 90 gal upgrade

    You’ll be giving up some major real estate with the RR…..GO GLASS-HOLES, ALL THE WAY! I’d spend the few extra bucks and get the 1500. You won’t be sorry….unless you like looking at a big wad of plastic.

    tang

    You’ve heard it….algae sheets…..every day. I actually buy the “sushi” algae at my local oriental supermarket. I get about 25 large sheets for $3.99. I feed daily, half a sheet. Here’s what I do: I first cut the sheets into quarters using either a paper cutter (which I no longer have) or...

    Red bugs in the nano

    Boy, I almost think I need to go looking for legal representation with what you have said! Do you know a good lawyer? :) Or maybe I need to preface my comments with a disclaimer. Here’s the poop: I don’t know the stability of the drug (milbemycin oxime). However, it is used in...

    Red bugs in the nano

    Why not take a ¼ pill and smash it up (ideally in a mortar and pestle), and now dissolve it in a volume of water. Now take a third of that water and dose your tank. This would be more accurate, unless you had a scale that measured into the microgram range. As an example, you dissolve a...

    Ceramic Shaft for SWV 160

    Arnie, I have a spare I could loan you until the next group buy or when you find one locally. This way you could be back in business quick.

    I do see the similarities. :saturn:

    yellow tang troubles

    It sounds like lateral line erosion LINK The first thing I’d look at is stray voltage….and then water quality. It could also just be the stress of being in QT.

    Tank was moved, so far so good!

    I’d congratulate you on the pending kid, but I’ve already had three, so for me I think it’s more sympathy……but congratulations on the tank staying within the confines of the house. You’re lucky the boss didn’t have you move that tank right out the door. :p The rock work looks fantastic from...

    Little help setting up my new tank

    Glassholes! :encouragement: It would be your lucky day if you could use the existing holes for a Glassholes overflow. They would have to be the right distance down from the top of the tank. The second issue is that I would recommend the 1500 gph overflow for that tank, and that requires...

    Green Slimer & Birds Nest Bleaching

    Something is not adding up here. You are using Reef Crystals and not dosing any alkalinity and your pH is 8.8 and alkalinity is 18….doesn’t make sense! Something isn’t testing right.

    Chloramine question??

    Your RO filter should remove all chloramines. But if you wish to be extra sure, you can replace your “standard” carbon block with a chloramines carbon block or catalytic carbon in a refillable cartridge.

    Anyone familiar with coins and their value?

    Here’s a link: What's My Error Coin Worth? I hate to be the poo-poo’er, but I think you are still going to find that it’s not worth much because of the condition of the coin. JMTC.

    Anyone familiar with coins and their value?

    +1 The coin also looks like it’s in pretty rough shape….like it was on a road where multiple cars/trucks drove over it. I know it couldn’t have been a train, because we use to do that when I was a kid, and the coin would have been flattened. As far as it’s worth, I’ll give you a buck for...

    Mac and google browsers are reporting the site as malware

    Don, with our old hosting company, when we put in “www.njreefers.org,” what would show up is www.njreefers.org/joomla. This is what I had bookmarked as a favorite years ago. When we changed to a new hosting company, I didn’t change the bookmark, and when I clicked on that “favorite”, first...
