Hi, I know this may be a vague question, but I was wondering if I'm in for a mini cycle after re-arranging some rocks last night. I had to remove my flame angle last night. I've tried to catch the SOB for over 3 months with no luck. He took a liking to my Elegance and nearly killed it. So - I...

My vote goes with Lifereef. You asked, my opinion. YMMV I've owned a ETSS RD3, CPR Bac Pak, and now a Lifereef. By far, the lifereef has provided a more consistant output of skimmate. With little to no adjustments. Only maint needed with my lifereef was the initial setup. Then final...

If you guys/gals don't mind, what size are you using? I'm interested in one for my 100 gallon acrylic. As someone pointed out, I'm sick of my hand in the tank with a credit card...needless to say, my female clown bites my hand to no end.

Thank you everyone. I'll add these to my monthly task list. I just never really thought about the probes until recently...I should have known. Thank you again, have a good day.

I've noticed that my pH, ORP, and Temp probe have creatures growing on them. I guess I may have biffed it by not doing routine cleaning - but I must ask this. Is there a way to clean the probes? And, should they have a regular maint cycle where I clean them up? I did re-calibrate the pH probe...

Sort of a dumb question. I have a sump. It is about 20 gallons. I really do not think I can put a light over it as it is a rubbermaid type clear plastic container. Plus it houses a Sen 700 return pump. I have a spare acrylic type sump box that I was thinking of using in it's place. That being...

Hi. Good afternoon. I have a rather quick question regarding a algae that I have had in my tank for some time now. It has been in there for about a year and a half. Since the initial cycle. I've had other algae for instance that was around but left over time. Sargassum comes to mind. However...

I have 6 in my 100 gallon. As others have said, they are usually found on the sandbed. Top layer, eyes out, slowly moving and eating. I have one or two that will climb on the glass and rocks. However, they do not party there too long. I think they fall over more readily by climbing the rocks...

As I can not delete, I'll edit my posts to remove. I hope everyone can have a good day. Kind regards, [ September 13, 2001: Message edited by: Odd Ball ]

It depends on what state the lawsuit was filed. If in New York, he very well could win. No disrespect to anyone who lives there, but I sometimes wonder who has a more screwed up state. California or New York... Regarding Sprung and that whole mess. I'd wager not. Both parties there are very...

Thanks for the replies. I'll check the wallmart tonight as I'll be right by it. If they don't have it, I'll check the online store mentioned above. In any case, many thanks! Have a good day.

Good morning, Just a really dumb and quick question. Where do you guys/gals buy Ball's Pickling Lime in Northern California? I'm in Elk Grove, few miles South of Sacramento. Anyway - I've checked Raley's, Bel Air, and Safeway. So far, no luck. Thought I'd ask just in case. I've primarily...

For all the folks who go the DIY route, how do you connect the IV tube? I mean, I know that I just drill a small hole into the container, however, how do you seal it? I guess that is my question. How do I seal the hose that I use in to the jug? I don't want to have leak on me. Thanks again...
