Well after several delays and a change to have them build me a stand. I finally got my tank up and running. My biggest issue right now is micro-bubbles galore. I think I need to redesign my sump. Just not sure which way to go, as I thought I set it up properly. 3 bubble traps 1.5" apart and...

It's 38" but using a 2x8 has reduced the access underneath to about 31". Also for the front side access panels why do you feel you need them? Thanks MikeC I will post it there when it gets delivered and set up.

Unfortunately to the left of the stand is a closet and to the right is my fresh rodi water and then a slop sink so I can go left or right it will have to go under the stand which is about 38" high. edd, I did look at the manufactures website but it twice as much as any of their resellers site...

Hi all, I got out of the hobby about 5 years ago, not by choice, apartment had only 2 old screw in 15 amp fuses for the whole place. I am now having a custom 250 built and I have a few questions. I am looking at return pumps and questioning 1 large vs 2 smaller pumps and looking for thoughts...

Well I am interested if you have any pics that would be great and I can get some of my 90 if you are interested. Thanks

I have an Oceanic RR 90 gallon cherry wood. For the dimensions is the tank 30 deep or 24 deep? Also is it glass or acrylic and who made it? Thanks

About 2 months ago I had an issue with on of Warner Marines distributors lying to me etc, and called WM to let him know about the poor business practices of them. Well Mr Warner told me that he would be coming out with these products shortly and would send them to me when they were ready to go...

Warner Marine also has a GFO on Steroids product called Phosar HC(High Capacity), that claims to last longer as well. Phosar HC Link

Hello All, I ordered a large quantity of Phosar GFO media from Championlighting 2 weeks ago. I ordered from them because I thought I would get my product sooner being they are closer to us. Well 1 week goes by and I contact them. They tell me they are out of the product and it was being...

My buddy was using exclusively the Catalina Water Company Boxed saltwater sold at Petco on a 24gal aquapod. He was suffering from major algae problems, so I brought by my Hanna meter and the boxed Catalina water which claims zero phosphates, tested at .16 which is amazingly high. I would...

They first had a store in Bethpage,NY called PETS. Shortly after the New Hyde Park store opened the Bethpage store closed. When I went to the bethpage store years ago before the NHP store they had a worse saltwater section then they currently have. And Yes they have the worlds greatest...

I'm running XM 10K with 2 55w PC Actinics and I like the color combo, between the high par value for a m58 ballast and the actinics I have good growth and color. Go to Sanjay's website for color and rating information on each bulb for your ballast. High par is good for coral growth. According...

I'd like a blue millie and will be at the swap tomorrow. Thanks Greg

I posted about the accuracy of the hach pocket colorimeter 2 being more accurate. So I called Hach and they told me that the .0015 abs accuracy is absorption of the reagant not the accuracy of the test and that the meter is +- .04, they same as the hanna meter. Now the accuracy listed on the...

I do not use a pump, I have mine getting water right from the cold water line. I never even heard of using a pump. I have not seen water pressure higher than what is recommended yet in a house/apt. The 2 biggest factors on a properly plumbed rodi unit for gpd is water pressure and...

The hanna meter is 180 and the 100 reagents is 24 for around 204. The Hach is $335 with the 100 reagents. So its 135 difference. Does anyone think the increased accuracy is worth the price? Thanks

I was looking to buy a Hanna Phosphate Colorimeter and noticed that the precision is +- .04 where the new hach colorimeter is only +- .015. With wanting the tanks around .03 the hanna could really be inaccurate. Is the Hach worth the extra $135? Does anyone have the Hach Phosphate Pocket...

A penductor increases the amount of flow from a stream of water without moving or mechanical parts. See below If they are not sold to I would like to be next in line. Thanks For each gallon of solution that is pumped through the eductor, three or four gallons of additional solution is...

I've have moved many tanks several times and reefman is right move the tank and stand seperately. Whether moving an inch or mile it is the same amount of work. The Garbage can idea will work for most of your water and live rock but get some 5 gallon buckets 1 for livestock and 1 for corals...
