    Top online stores?

    I have used several places in the past: Dry Goods: Premium Aquatics, Bulk Reef Supply, and Marine Depot have all been good to me Live Stock: Vivid Aquariums has been good but I just made my first purchase from LiveAquaria so we will see.

    Elos Aquastudio - Great experience

    The water came straight from my display tank, which is a reef so I have never treated copper. I used the Seachem Cupermine. I have to pick up a copper test kit.

    Elos Aquastudio - Great experience

    Not sure. It was fine then yesterday developed a single white spot on one of its fins. I treated with copper last night and was actively swimming last night. This morning gone. I have 4 other fish in the QT so hopefully everyone else is fine. This is my first QT that I have run so its annoying.

    Elos Aquastudio - Great experience

    One down, and its the Psych Head wrasse. I have m QT tank going and after eating like a pig every day, the wrasse is a floater this morning. Very frustrating but glad it wasn't in my DT.

    AI vega review

    I was looking into doing the 'upgrade' from my Sol Blues to the Vegas and using the AI controller. From what I have seen the Vegas are great and provide a great solution.

    Elos Aquastudio - Great experience

    Protein Skimmer Overflow....

    Finally got my float switches all working. One in the skimmer cup and one the davey jones. If something happens now it will shut down the system. I am going to install a solenoid on the tube to the Davey Jones so that when the skimmer cup fills it drains it and sends an email. Finally i will...

    Protein Skimmer Overflow....

    No changes at all, just humming along. Very annoying. That is why I was thinking that after a year i need to clean hoses and pieces of the skimmer.

    Protein Skimmer Overflow....

    So I am traveling this week and thank god i put that float switch in, my skimmer went nuts overnight and was shut down without an issue. Trying to figure out why for a few days skimmer is fine, then out of no where it decides it should suck in 10 times the amount of water. Total pain...

    Chillers....

    I love the creative thoughts. No it has a full basement. I will most likely get a chiller and just continue to run the ceiling fan so the heat from that gets moved out.

    Chillers....

    My tank has been up for over a year and a half now without a chiller. We have begun changing the temperature we keep the house at, winter its cooler and has resulted in a big savings in our bills. So now for the summer we want to do the opposite but I know i will have to add a chiller. The...

    Elos Aquastudio

    Fish prices seem to be posted, which is great but nothing on the corals. I like to window shop before i ask for help and not having pricing can be annoying.

    Protein Skimmer Overflow....

    Woke up today to another overflow, what a pain in the tush. Also got my IO Breakout box today and a float switch. This should prevent it from ever happening again.

    Protein Skimmer Overflow....

    I made the davey jones myself, instead of buying one. That was the one thing i left out (Do that another time).

    Protein Skimmer Overflow....

    Woke up this morning things were fine, about an hour later I hear my pumps struggling to push. ATO is empty and my sump is running extremely low. My skimmer went nuts and was overflowing. I have a 'Davey Jones' hooked up for the skimate and it was overflowing. I have to get the Neptune IO...

    One hobby leads to the next

    Looks great, those pictures are great. I miss scuba diving, haven't for years. Next week we are taking the kids to Disney World but are spending a day at Discovery Cove. Dolphins, Rays, and a living reef, all for you to snorkel with. Considering my boys are only 9 and 7 this is a great first...
