Anyone use or have used Seachem Reef salt? Any recommendations for it?

I'm setting up my AC III and want to know if this program looks good. I've read many threads on Reef Central and I think I have it. I noticed a few members from here have posted in the Neptune thread there so to keep the information on our site I'm posing my question here as opposed to Reef...

I am going to purchase a TDS meter from AWI during the group buy. Can anyone recommend a good one that is not expensive and also recommend the best buy of the devices offered.

I have two megaflow overflows in my 120 gallon All-Glass tank. Does anyone know where I can purchase covers for them? I'm hoping to cut down on the algae buildup inside of them.

I have retro vho and MH light kits in my canopy. Am interested to know if I should screw the standoffs for the vho's into the canopy or first screw a block into the canopy and then the standoffs into the block? Does it make a difference? By using a block this will lower the vho's by the size of...

I hadn't seen my Diamond Goby for about 4 or 5 days and I began to worry :(. He was always out and about throughout the tank doing what he does best which is sifting sand. He wasn't in his burrow which is underneath a rock right in the front of the tank. I couldn't help but think the worst :'(...

On May 14 I purchased a Coral Bandit Shrimp and added it to my tank. It immediately made a B-Line to the back of the tank and hid underneath some rocks. I thought he was dead or malnourished on many occasions as I never got to see him. I could only view his antenna's. Well after 4 months he...

Over the last week or so my ALK levels have tested pretty low. I am trying to find out how to raise them. Today it tested at 5.8 DKH (2.06 MEQ/L) and has tested around that value lately. I use the Salifert test kit and have been told by Salifert that there are no problems with the kit tht I have...

I don't know about you guys in the south but there was a bad storm here last night in the north. I never saw so much lightning in my life. At one point the weatherman on the 11 o'clock news stated there were over 100 strikes within 15 minutes :o. Glad it's over and hope everyone made out ok.

I've added a few sps frags to my tank :) over the last month or so and I notice my calcium levels have decreased :(. The last two times I tested they were at 350 and I've had one reading of 320. I change about 15% (considering the water in the sump) of the water weekly. I want to get the calcium...

I need a new 175w Metal Halide lamp. I am leaning toward the 15k Iwasaki bulb. Can anyone provide any feedback on this bulb or recommend any others? I also have two 110 volt vho super actinics.

I just got back after being away on vacation from Wednesday to Saturday. My wife performed a top-off for me on Friday. She didn't feed the fish but they were fine. They were all okay and at well today when I fed them. The tank was a little dirty though moreso than normal. I don't understand...

Can anyone id this mushroom please?

Can someone id this worm and tell me if it is good or bad for the tank?

Well we just had a power outage earlier tonight and luckily it only lasted 1 1/2 hours. Naturally I suffered through it, not knowing when the power would return. The power returned before any damage was done and when the lights came on I was able to see all kinds of critters I've never seen in...

Which Anthias have a violet or purple color? Of those which are compatible with shrimps, crabs and snails? Are they easy to care for and how many females to match with a male? They'll be kept in a tank with a yellow tang, a sailfin tang, and a six line wrasse. Will there be any problems?

Has anyone had any experience with Bumble Bee Snails? They are very good looking and I would like to purchase a few. I've heard that they will attack other snails. Any truth to that?

I want to get a cannister filter to store both purigen and rowaphos, any suggestions? The only requirement is that it is quiet.
