I'm sick of killing sticks, so I'm going all softies and Zoas. Up for grabs is a complete calcium reactor set-up. Including: K2R Calcium Reactor with ARM (with 8 mo old Ehiem circ pump) 5 lb. Aluminum CO2 Cylinder (about 1/2 full) Milwaukee CO2 Regulator w/Solenoid Diaphragm Valve...

I just removed this unit from my setup and I am trying manual dosing for a while. I am considering going with a automated dosing system. Just wondering what a used setup like this is worth to the common reefer. I priced everything new and it is over $600, surely I don't expect to collect that...

Can you control seio power heads with the ac jr? I know seio has their own controller but it doesn't allow wave making. The ac jr has a soft start option, will that allow them to start with minimal clanking for wave making? Thanks in advance.

I just bought a house and got away from the city water. My well water goes through a unit to remove the iron and that's it. The seller was required to have a lab do a well water test, and it looks like they tested for a lot of stuff, and everything came back at or under 0.5ppb. Am I wasting...

I am going to plumb my tank into the basement. I am looking for a pump to move about 1000gph+/- when it gets to the tank. So we are looking at about 10-12 ft vertical, and 3-5ft horizontal, and at least 2x 90 elbows. Any suggestions? I am more interested in budget than bragging rights...

this guy is giant and related to the hermit crab. Who has room for it? http://www.climateshifts.org/?p=796

Anyone with a diatom filter that I can borrow for a couple of days? I am not sure if it is going to do what I need, so rather than buy one and never use it again, I would like to try it out. OR If someone has one for sale cheap. Thanks

I need to upgrade my return pump to accommodate a frag tank. How much pump do I need to: drive about 700gph up 5' and about 600gph up 4' and about 200gph up 4' Any pump suggestions? I have it setup so that out of the pump there is 3/4" hard PVC with 2 90's that feeds up to the display...

I have been dealing with this stuff suspending in my tank for too long, its too small to make out what it is but big enough to disrupt the appearance of the water, so I would like to see it under a microscope to try to identify it. Anyone in the south have one I can use? I can bring a water...

I have a K2R calcium reactor rated for 350 gal that seems to be losing it's ability to keep up in my 120g volume system, I have been tuning it, but Ca still drops. I am using standard ARM media effluent ph 6.8 CO2 120-130 bpm effluent is a small steady stream Ca 360 Alk 10 Mg 1200 I dose with...

At the frag swap I picked up a few packs of the Ocean Wonders mag disks. I mounted a few small polyps on each and they barely held to the side of my AGA 90 ( a moderate current will blow them off). The magnetic pull was so weak that a small snail pushed one and the disk fell behind my rock work...

I few months ago I posted a problem with not having clear water, but still haven't found a solution. I can always see stuff floating around. It looks like micro bubbles but it is not. I have tried turning off all circulation for 30 min or so, and I can see it just suspend in the water column...

Tried to get in and got this: Or is it just my squirrel box?

Anyone know where I can find some small pieces of pond liner? Or does anyone have a few small pieces to spare? I need a few pieces to put under my pumps but don't want to buy a 15'x5' piece from a local pond dealer. I did have rubber feet on the pumps and they slowly disappeared, I replaced...

I'm looking to pick up some magnets to make use of the space on the overflow tower and back wall. I was looking at the nickel plated 5lb pull force that come in at 100 for $16. Does anyone think the nickel plated is a bad idea? I know there are epoxy coated magnets out there too, but they are...

What is everyone using to hold frags to their rock work? I have tried the TLF, the marineland, and the purple epoxy. All with hit and miss success. I am looking for something that will work every time at any angle.

I took a 1.5 hour drive today to ocean gallery, what a waste of time. I was there for over an hour waiting by the frag tank and register for someone to help me while watching some of the pieces I wanted being sold to others who came in long after me. There is no way to know who works there and...

I woke up this morning to find one of my cats not moving at all and barely breathing. Raced off to the vet and he was diagnosed with FIP (which the vet says is common in Bengal cats), a fast acting viral disease with no known cure or effective treatment. Of my 3 cats this 22 toed cat was my...

I live in a apartment and my water pressure to my RO is about 35-40 psi while using no other water. This greatly affects my daily production. I have a water general 110gpd RO, that is producing about 20-25gpd. I have looked at pressure pumps for the line, but they are expensive. The RO is being...
