    Black Spots on my Clowns???

    Wow Sugar, I like that site that has that section for disease and Emergency. What a great idea. I think I'll post in suggestions here, I think it would be very beneficial to have a section to post for that.

    phosphate

    maybe a bad reading of phosphate? What test kit do you use? Have an LFS test for phosphate to see if they get a reading as well. If you still have a reading, perhaps they can advise with what to do.

    Good customer service story at Lowes

    same thing with... Timex Timers, same way. Some are good and some are bad. When I bought the second timer it was a fluke. It would turn on/off, it would reset the preset time periods. A big mess! Then it finally just died. I took it back to Target and just exchanged it for another, no...

    Turtle Grass

    i agree my girlfriend owns maiden's hair, but it's having very bad trouble. I have two pumps in the JBJ. One upgraded pump, and one that is in compartment 1 blowing back in and no such luck!! Little by little getting browner and browner. My girl has had it since November, and it's slowly on...

    brians

    Are both Brian's Tank raised? Do they require a drip line acclimation before adding them with inhabitants? *Apparently I couldn't resist either* I like what the open brain look like, real nice specimen. Would be nice to pick one up in the future.

    My new and first nanoreef tank

    I believe that is the "wave" series, different from my Melody series. Yours holds probably about a half a gallon to a gallon more than mine. I saw that one, but didn't like how I'd have to hang a filter on the side and it having to be a smaller one. I got a bigger one that's rated for a 5 to...

    Lighting/Hood Help

    ha ha, yah, I must have been confused with something else. I did read some stuff on T3 lighting though, although it was different from anything being discussed here. I did confirm the lighting types at nanocustoms, but they use the abbreviations of "PL" I'm guessing like Power light or...

    whats going on?

    yeah, sounds more practical to go that route. We already go to Tongs in Fountain Valley to get our "Catalina Water" so I can either get some top off water there or at the LFS that's 3 min from our pad. Either way I am sure it wont be difficult. Thanks B.

    whats going on?

    Yeah probably, from what I've gained I'll take a look now. I just had to be the nut to research all this crap. I haven't seen the price of Aquafina by the gallon but I imagine you can't beat 25 cents per gallon for RO water at the water machine. I'll check Dj and see what I find and see how...

    whats going on?

    I researched Dasani drinking water ( a product of coca-cola company ) It says this at their website: "...Filtered for purity using a state-of-the-art process called reverse osmosis. The purified water is then enhanced with a special blend of minerals for a pure, fresh taste." Then I...

    whats going on?

    well after reading the article, it does say: "Can I drink the purified water? The RO output water is excellent for drinking. Most vendors offer a drinking water kit that includes a pressure tank, a small faucet which can be attached to your sink, and a post-filter for the drinking water...

    whats going on?

    So RO water is the drinking water we'd buy to drink like Arrowhead Spring water, correct? DI of course is distilled water that removes everything beneficial period, which makes good for appliances and other such devices that would help decrease build-up of such unwanted minerals from groing...

    whats going on?

    I'm not the water expert, but what is RO stand for? I know the DI is distilled correct? What is normal drinking water called? Like Arrowhead or whatever? I know when you look at that, there are no added minerals/flavoring. Is that cool to use to top off tanks or is a necessity to use DI...

    Coral Beauty

    I didn't know the false percs would be that way. THe one my girlfriend has doesn't give a rats ass about anybody. He just swims in the front, up and down and sideways. I think you are good man, shouldn't be a problem. As far as their main diet: I think personally they love "mantis...

    Newb starting a pico

    somebody say sexys? hehe. I have two in my pico, and they are a happy pair. I didn't get three, I was happier to see them paired up as opposed to like a herd. :) I was also shooting to keep an aneome shrimp but the poor thing didn't live and I got credited and got something else I needed...
