Can you take a look at these and let me know if they are worth it or not? A guy in our club was considering buying one, and I figured you'd know the score. http://www.hannainst.com/products/ion/93752.htm#Spec: http://www.bio-world.com/MoreInfo.asp?ItemCode=061251 Thanks! Marc

I think that this is something 4 you: http://www.webwizzard.nl/linkspel/?r=1814

Anyone here ever use this stuff before? It came recommended as the best.... The instructions say it "might" turn the water a little brown but it would disappear quickly. Well, I got one of those phosban reactors to maximize efficiency but it turned my refugium into COFFEE! It was so dark you could...

My nitrate test kit says to wait five minutes before comparing the colour against the chart. I assume usually this would be for the colour to develop and if anything, show a higher reading (and stabilise). However I've noticed that after the five minutes I get a lower reading. Eg last night I did a...

Hiya I have a question. Right now my 45 gallon reef just has one inhabitant a clown fish. I plan on moving the tank in the next 3 weeks and was wondering if this might make the move easier in regards to tank cycling. I plan on setting up my new tank with a DSB and tossing the old tank which was a...

I've been having great success with this protein skimmer until a few weeks ago. It does not seem to be producing as many bubbles now, and certainly not as much "stuff" in the collection area. I have removed the pump, opened and examined for blockages & did not find anything wrong. Any...

I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with the jebo protein skimmers. They seem cheap compared to other skimmers.

Response to my previous posts about a wandering H. magnifica, were helpful in determining the solution. It appears a combination of factors. Originally the MH 150 (not 175) was about 12 inches from the tank, so I thought it was lack of light. I also had no direct current. To remedy, I was...

I need a good pump for sump return for a new 180g FOWLR. The tank is not set up yet but I'd like to get all the pieces before making the change from the 60g. I'm currently using a mag7 for return on the 60g. The old tank will be my new sump. As for the fish I currently have a dogface puffer,...

Hi Guys... I've had this blue (or maybe aqua colored) or gelatinous stuff growing in my tank since... forever - 18 months anyway. It was dime sized, but now it's spreading over some of my green star polyps and I'm thinking I should erradicate it. Anyone know what this stuff is, good, bad,...

I am in the proccess of constructing a canopy for my 75gal reef so I can add my MH bulbs. Due to a mis calculation, my lights are going to be 8 to 9 inches from the surface of the water. The bulbs are 400watt Blueline 10000k + and I will be running two of them. I know I should be more like 10 to...

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I replied to your posts on my message board. I'd not checked it in a long time. Marc -- Personal Page: http://www.sparklingfloorservice.com/oanda/index.html Business Page: http://www.sparklingfloorservice.com Marine Hobbyist: ...

Hi, I got a small cuttling of kenya tree or colt coral today from my friend. The frag is small, about 1" cut from its tree crown - I placed it in a small containter with bubbling water and I am not sure what exactly should I do with it... What is the best way to attach it to the rock? Should I pin...

Hi all I wonder if anyone could recommend a good hang on wet dry filter for a 65 gallon tank?

Can someone demystify the additives/vitamins supplements in a reef setup mystery for me? I feel like I need a PhD in microbiology for this hobby sometimes. For example, if you had to select say 5 additives, what would they be? Mike

If I have an acrylic tank would it be a smart idea to place a drain hole on the very bottom plate, so if I ever wanted to drain it, I could just attach a garden hose to it? I have a similar set up now. I drilled a hole about 15% down from the top and now all I have to do to do a water change is...

Whats the consensus on blue linka starfish ...good / bad or otherwise. Will they destroy any coral ?

Because of a sudden cold run in the weather I put in the tank a seconds heater, this was just pressed onto the front glass, anyhow, my leather coral seems to have grown a bit over the past week or the rock it is on moved a little and a section of the coral was touching the heater. That area...

Hi: When it comes to adding to reef tanks does anyone have an opinion on the best chemical's for calcium, iodine, and simply the total treatment. I have consider Seachem, Kent, Tropic Marin, and Siefert. I currently use Kalkwasser and Lugols solution, but the expansion on my corals could...

What is an acceptable alkalinity level range for a reef tank (with small fish load and soft/lps and sps corals). Reason why i ask is im heading away for a month and have been experiencing drops of around 1dkh per week. I usually aim for around 8dkh (as per NSW). Would it upset things if i was to...
