The heat is here! I’m selling a Nano Arctica Titanium Chiller, 1/20 horsepower (model DBI-038). This was originally on the JBJ28 when the HQI light was being used. It was purchased for $290. Comes with the chiller, about five feet of ½ tubing on each of the outlets, and the owner’s manual...

This is a spanking brand new, never seen water, Aqua FX “The Barracuda” RO/DI unit that is rated at 50gpd. I took it out of the box to simply take the picture. I won this at the swap from Champion Lighting and actually don’t need it. I still can’t figure why I put a ticket in the bucket...

I’m having a he!! Of a week….my neighbor dies, my pool cleaner dies, and now my computer dies. It’s the week of death. (And I won't mention what the stock market did today!) I was looking at my computer while making a recipe and I turn around to find the next ingredient, and it’s crapped...

It was time to cook up a little more Alk, and I thought I’d share my experience in the kitchen. I purposely don’t want to mention that “C” word, because I think many are scared away when they hear that word. If you’re a two part user, this is an easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy recipe that anyone...

My wife picked up a new fish for me for Father’s Day.

So what am I doing wrong??? First I have to mention that I regenerate DI resin…..very easy to do. To make the process even easier, I decided to make my own Kati/Ani DI unit by using a two chamber RO unit. I pulled off all the RO stuff and was left with the two canisters. I purchased...

I have heard a couple times that the use of ReefRoids results in high phosphate in your tank. Again, I’ve only heard this and cannot verify it. However, it did concern me, since I had been using ReefRoids. So just to be safe (maybe), I decided to make my own coral food. I took a couple...

Mike and Nikki, always a good time. I really like how the floating canopy turned out…..very nice. Thanks for hosting. (FYI I left my black jacket at your place.....I'll get it at the swap.)

I will be purchasing Mike S’s JNS biopellet reactor (Thanks Mike), and this is all new for me. I’ve been reading, but I would like to hear first-hand experience. I have a 90 gallon DT with a 40 breeder sump and I’m currently running a BRS dual GFO/Carbon reactor. First thing is that I’ve...

I pulled a real good Homer “D’oh!” today. I spent the afternoon regenerating about two gallons of DI resin. I did this in three batches because of the size of my homemade separatory funnel and filter container. So I’m doing my sodium hydroxide mix and separation of the anionic / cationic...

I saw this over on Reef2Reef and thought some here might be interested, especially if you have pulsing xenia. Pulsing Xenia mystery solved I also realized in posting this that we don’t have a “softies” section in Livestock Care and Questions. There is SPS&LPS and Leathers, Shrooms and...

I picked up a melanurus wrasse this past Saturday (thank you to ThatGuy). After acclimating the fish, and placing him in the tank, he immediately buried himself in the sand, with a plume of sand being thrown up. It’s now been two days. Anyone wish to venture when I’ll see this guy?

Anthony and Teri, thank you very much for a fun, informative and stinky meeting. I’ve looked at food recipes before, but this is the first time I’ve seen it made. A little messy and smelly, but not too bad. I think it was a good idea doing this in the garage. We had an exceptional...

Is this my problem or is this a glitch with the site….the little “on-line” button that is right next to your screen name is now a box (most of the time). Within a post I’ve actually noted that most on-line buttons are boxes, while a few are the regular button.
