    Help with RODI Buddy Pump please

    Dave, MrX, think you guys mentioned you run them. For you, and anyone else - When using the pump and your storage container is full, do your pump cycle on and off every few seconds? I thought I had a bad pump, customer service (customer service at AL is fantastic) sent me another. I hooked it...

    T5 - Group Buy

    If this is BRS they're doing the same pricing with free shipping on orders over $29 at the moment. I just picked up 2 blue plus 36" for $38 with free shipping. Would be happy to order another 4 bulbs if you need to bulk up the order at all to hit a discount, lemme know!

    Would you like to re home your unwanted majano? unwanted rubble rock?

    Lemme dig through my sump and overflow tomorrow. I know I have aptasia as I found a few a couple weeks back. If anyone can chime in on aptasia removal - razor blade or credit card - would appreciate. If I find and am able to gather some, I have some decent rubble rocks (liverock) as well.

    First Reef Tank - Beginning the Journey

    I went with these on a number of previous tanks and will happily use them in the future (and currently have one on a 40b going on 3 years now)... http://www.eshopps.com/overflowboxes They also come with a hard plastic drilling template for the tank. CPR also does some high quality build, over...

    Blue Heron rescue

    Get a CD, tie a string through the hole, hang it from a branch or a pole over or next to the pond. Wind blows the CD, CD spins and shines and reflects light, birds get scared away due to the movement. Started doing this 2 years ago and the local heron hasn't taken a fish since.

    First Reef Tank - Beginning the Journey

    Welcome aboard! Nice setup. Im in the 'Go with a sump 100%' group. Eshopps makes a hang on back overflow that is pretty darn reliable (I used them for years never a worry)). Then you can cut out that CPR hang on fuge and just build one into the sump. For a 50g you dont need anything crazy, you...

    clownfish hosting majanos

    Dude, Keep the tank as a 'pest tank' and don't do anything to it, just run an ato and throw any odd frag or piece of rock in it. Started my pest tank 2 years ago with some aptasia, no water changes, no skimmer, no fuge. Two years later I have some insane mushrooms, multiple types of zoa, and an...

    Please Help! Several fish keep dying and IDK why

    Beautiful setup! Unfortunately this hobby is a live and learn situation. If you cycled the tank for those 4 months with the rocks and some sort of additive (a few pinches of food occasionally, a dead shrimp from Shop-rite, or even urine) in that amount of time it should have cycled. Those rocks...

    Light in tank

    Didin't know you were trying to salvage it. Problem is the saltwater, it corrodes solder. If the salt water has been sitting inside it for this long, it will eventually kill the remaining circuts. Best bet if this ever happens in the future is to run the fixture under tap water to flush it out...

    Is there a snail pandemic? From LA to RC

    :encouragement: Eric, I love stomatella, but, as jg said, you cant find them for sale anywhere. Wish you could, I'd infest my tank with them.

    +1 on amado. The Milwaukee salinity and the Hanna alk are the two most worked items I have.

    New toy - RO buddy booster

    Wasn't shutting off. Realize I need a separate check valve for the membrane out. Not a big deal, quick Amazon order, though a note in the description, 'If you're buying this to use with our RODI Buddy, get a frickin check valve', would have been welcome. Used to take the better part of a day for...

    Is there a snail pandemic? From LA to RC

    Humble, the packaging is fine, just like the Live Aquaria was. Just odd that there's such a loss (though LA had the trocus prepacked in 25 per bag bundles). Diana, ACC usually doesn't carry ceriths, or at least they didn't in the past, I always went through Reefcleaners for them.
