I have always wondered why these things cost so much. I am guessing not a lot of people buy them.

Sorry Mark the last one is gone.

Ok I might be wrong but if the skimmer overflows into the sump then nothing is taken out of the water so it would continue to overflow? You drain the skimmate into a bucket until it stops overflowing. This might take an hour or two but it has worked for me. I had skimmer overflowing after a...

I have a small piece that I acquire 6 months ago. It is a very slow grower but man that blue color is much brighter than other blue stags.

Is that the Oregon in the first picture? That color is pretty intense.

Whenever there is a bleaching problem my first reaction is to turn down the light. I would start feeding reef chili or reef roids a small scoop a day. Or use a blender to blend some frozen food into fine particles. No filter sock no skimmer and keep the particles in the water column. At the same...

The ink bird (I have a different brand and it stopped working within a month) will turn the device off when the temp reaches the high and turn it on when the temp reaches a low in the heat more. It will do the reverse in the cold mode. So only one sensor is needed.

I always had multiple heaters (two 300w for example) plugged into eb8 for years. I assume it goes on/off less frequent than the dosing pumps. I am just surprised they would say that.

It is cheap too. $15 for like 200 tests. Do you still have to interpret the color? I have the salifert nitrate test the color is not that easy to interpret just different shades of pink.

I have performed the same test for years using the same source of light (white florenscence), same number of handshakes, same pressure applied injecting solution, against the same white background. So yes it is probably not humanly possible. Hanna seems to be the easiest. I already have the...

It will be hard to move the space invader now. In manahattan aquarium (an LFS in manhattan) there is a tank very similar to the dimensions of mine. There is a large space invader colony right in the middle on top which gave me the idea. It is really a nice center piece. The corals surrounding it...

After years of using Red Sea I have enough of it (George Carlin's voice ringing in the ears). Got a new bottle of Alk test refill, come out 11 dkh while the previous bottle says 8. The ph reading is consistent with 8 dkh. So red sea has this issue where it just come out with a reading totally...

Dropping $250 but can't connect a heater to it? Arguably that's the first thing people use it for :) My dosing pumps connected to the EB8 are on/off 24 times a day for years without issue. And it's a mechanical relay too.

The Hawkins has won. Contrary to common wisdom. It has caught the tentacle and ate it. We will see if it has sustained damage in a few days. The Hawkins is survivor it Stn’d when I first got it with two little tips left so I glued it there not expecting it would survive. Now both corals have...

So I have been wondering when the war will break out today is the day. The space invader shoots out some long feelers and it has been stinging the zoa for months. Today finally one of the feeler hit the Hawkins below. It has stuck on the Hawkins. Who wins?

Use Chemiclean you won't regret it. Occasionally tank gets out of control it will reset it.

Yeah my tang did that too only in one of the corners.

I don't. A lot of stuff lives in the sand. However my trio of sand-sleeping wrasses stir up the sand all the time.

MP10 and lights are spoken for.
