Has anyone ever used this and if so what's your opinion? Is it reliable?

I figured out what the Skimmer is... It's a Sea Clone 150. =\ I think I remember reading that they suck.?. Supposedly, all you need to run it is a power head. I'm still looking in to that but being that I wont need it until after the tank has cycled, I'm kinda puttin that on the back burner. ...

Hey guys, I'd like your input on feeding. I just got my very first jar of Golden Pearls, which surprisingly stated that it must be stored in the refrigerator. Now how do I feed this stuff? Do you mix in in liquid? Do you squirt it toward the corals (like goniopora or acropora)? Do you turn off...

hi. The use of evaporated seawater as salt for marine tank had comes up periodically. The main reason that it is not a good idea is the fact that you can not reconstitute the NSW (natural sea water) parameter since the evaporation and addition of water is not reversible for certain...

Hi Det68, Pretty much like any other reef tank. You're just doing it on a smaller scale. 4" DSB, 20 - 30 lbs of Live Rock, and a Aqua C Remora Protein Skimmer. PC lighting will work great for a smaller tank like that. Marc

First of all, is the marine.binaries group down for y'all? Or simply dormant? I don't get any messages there for the past two weeks, and there used to be a couple of hundred in there. Now my ISP reports "3 messages, 0 unread" which can't be right! Second of all, someone contacted me last week...

Hi , I have the beginnings of an excess of Grape Caulerpa Algae . It is hard to manually harvest. Sticks to the rocks and breaks into pieces that scatter. Do you know of any fish or inverts that will dine on this stuff? Regards Wayne

Thinking about it... Currently I have a separate pump running my chiller. For the sake of noise I have it on the temp controller with the chiller. I know it isn't good for the pump. My return pump is a Mag7 as well. I was thinking, in order to eliminate the chiller pump altogether,...

Still waiting for the armageddon which I was assured would come later rather than sooner. Short recap: I made a *just add water* instant sal****er aquarium, complete with fish and live rock and minimal lighting and (oh no!) undergravel filter, all within one hour. Thirty posts accused me of being...

I have a few pumps that I would to like use for water movement in my tanks. The rubber suction cups never hold and I either lost or never got the hang on clips. Is there some way to fix these to the tank at different levels that you have used? They are from 100-590 gpm rated. My tanks are 2-120's,...

The intensity of light decreases by the square of the distance that area is from the lighting source. Does this rule apply to the distance of a light source no matter if the distance consists of water or air? No, IIRC this "rule" only applies in a vaccuum. Water is going to have alot more...

nice but you really need to up these to either a web page, or a binary groups so people can see them, try alt,binaries.aquaria not every news server d/l's binaries from non binary groups -- -- richard reynolds

Just thought I would toss this out to all of you. I have been looking into this for awhile but the abc.net site below sums it up well so I thought I'd share. http://www.abc.net.au/science/scribblygum/october2002/default.htm What would happen to a tank setup should one actually succeed in...
