Over a year ago, I was curious about the Reef Vital DNA. So I bought some and then read that many people on this forum said it was a hoax. So, my curiousity led me into a simple tast tesing analysis. I posted the result on this forum, I'm sure someone with the time could dig up the info...

I bought two WH7s and one WH5. They did not seem to have a minimum. Cheers, Scott

Contact Larry at Graybar Electric Company (AZ) 602-437-0375. They had to drop-ship to me, since they did not stock them, so I'm sure they would be happy to sell some to you as well. Prices were WH5 $21.35 & WH7 $31.25. Cheers, Scott

Go to Fulham website. Click on "Find Local Dealer" Punch in your zip and it will direct you to a few local authorized dealers. I just bought the Wh& for about $31.00ea. BTW, even though there site does not specify that they work on VHO's, they do. Cheers, Scott

If anyone can email me a copy of the owners manual on this ozinier I would greatly appreciate it. I am not sure how to hook it up to my system, or maybe the thing does not work properly. I bought it on ebay. I am trying to connect it to my Reef Devil skimmer with Beckett head modification...

Sparks, that's it dude... thanks!!! I'm having a similar problem and your comments sparked a memory. I used to use several urchins in a 55 gal trash barrell when curing live rock. The Mine urchins would literally suck an entire rock face clean in about 24 hours. I have also used them before in...

Hmmm. good idea. i too am looking for an alternative to the expensive units, but I think I am leaning more towards a drop-in unit. This igloo is promising, but at $150.00 you will also need to purchase an AC/DC device since the igloo is designed for DC current. That is the basis of allowing it...

Preserving Caulerpa sp. for feeding your Fish? The best thing to do is setup a refugium in your sump, or purchase an after market refugium. These devices will allow your Caulerpa to flourish without predation. A refugium also contributes to preventing unwanted algae growth and maintaining water...

Very impressive!!! I have been having troubles taking successful pics of my tank. What camera equipment do you use? What lighting do you use while taking pics? What kind of software are you using to build/maintain your site? Do you have to pay to get a url? How about website hosting, how does...

Jamey, a solenoid is not typically used as a safety device in case of power failure. It's rather expensive to be used for that purpose alone. Besides, the flow from the reactor would be stopped and the CO2 would mostly stay in the reactor chamber. Like you stated, the solenoid operates a gate...

I recently battled this issue. Finaly, after trying several types of PC and MH systems. I fired all the PC's. The 96 watt units are terrible. I never kept a bulb for more then 4 nonths. The longer bulbs tend to burst on the ends. The 55watt and 65watt units seam to be more reliable. Anyhow, it...

Just a tip... I looked into drilling my 80 AGA and discovered that to do it right, requires the right bit. Diamond tip bits cost more than $150.00. For drilling your little ten gal, you may be okay trying conventional bits. What I discovered was that local glass shops carry all this stuff and...

I had difficulty getting my Ca above 350ppm with kalkwaser supplements for about 6 months. I switched to a Ca reactor and brought the Ca to >450ppm in two weeks. It is maintenance free compared to kalkwasser. I use the Koralin C1502, but would buy from a DIY guy if I was to start over. Andy at...

The price of pH calibration fluid marketed for the aquarium trade is ridiculous! Like many fellow reefers, I frequently run across some items that may be profitable for me to support my reef hobby (addiction), yet can still be offered to others at a fraction of the cost of buying form the LFS or...

Not sure if my emails went through, still having problems, so here is a paste: Here is Geo's beckett skimmer. It looks really awesome! http://www.homestead.com/geosreef/beckettskimmer.html This is Andy's reactor, this one is way cool and big...
