I got 50lbs of dry reef rock from thatpetplace.com and it was awesome. And the price no one could beat either.

If the tanks are empty you would be better off using the Novus products to buff the tank, buy them from an online tanning supply company, they sell the products cheaper than anyone.... Novus 1, Novus2 and Novus 3. Also look up Micro-Mesh on the internet and grab some of that too. you will need...

Randy, Do you know anything about the salinity test kits available?, I know HACH has a titration test for salinityand there are also many others available by other makers also.

Randy, So can I use my Hanna TDS Meter to measure my salinity? what would the conversion be from PPM to PPT ? I read on another post that someone used a refractometer which put the salintiy at 1.025 and then put the TDS in the same water and it read about 457ppm. Does this sound about right...

Yet, Still safe for you Children to ply in...haha

I thought the broken up salt lick was the best thing i've heard yet... I'd go with that.

I had a terrible time with hair algae for months after adding southdown to my tank. Never had it for 5 years before that and i didn't change a thing except the southdown. Are you adding something to your top off water? if not then I bet its the ro water that bringing your ph down. my ro water...

I've been batteling red slime ever since I added SD also, Never had it before either, NEVER.

Here's an Idea.... Why doesn't Mary post a list of Species she's importing that are hard to keep that beginners/all of us should stay away from. That will prove is there a confict of interest here or not.

I have a 95gal pentagon, Fits in the corner like the bow front. It's acrylic so It is flat in the front with molded corners that meet the side walls. It's definately a better shape to get than the bowed front. I run one 250w blueline MH positioned in the middle of the hood and three, three foot...
