    Proper Introduction, Loveland reefer

    If you still have the cloves, buy the Angelfish Plus food with the fenbendazole in it - it is green and called like Deworming I, or something like that. Just feed your fish the flake food a little at a time. I got some cloves out of nowhere and I had to do this and it took a few months, but...

    Activated carbon

    The HLLE study used A. Bahanius which are not really all that suited for aquarium use are notoriously skittish and difficult to acclimate. I also have never had HLLE issues when I used carbon, and ironically, I had an A. Bahanius that got some HLLE in a introduction/isolation tank that never...

    Scratch Removal

    Unless something has changed in a few years, you are going to have to do it yourself or just live with it. I hope that somebody does it now.

    Any HVAC techs in here?

    You can exhaust just right into the room that the unit is in. If your HVAC is setup right, then it should grab air from all over the home and distribute it. I would not force air into the HVAC unless it is running already. You can get portable units that don't put out as much heat, but they...

    Any HVAC techs in here?

    Have used them extensively in Missouri. For Colorado, I find no need as long as remember to turn the humidifier off on my furnace and exchange plenty of air in the house, which also keeps the in-house co2 lower and helps the humans and keeps the pH up in my tanks. I just suggest a portable...

    MASC App

    The web site works good in safari or chrome on iOS without the app. Just sayin.... if you need to use it this way. :)

    hair alge

    Did they tell you what they died from? More likely that the died from what I said rather than what you supposed. Many talented hobbyists for many decades will tell you the same thing. Even if you are the exception, probably not a good idea to recommend it to others.

    hair alge

    Trochus are going to be the first to die if you have to raise you nitrate level, or just keep it high. They don't often do well with temps over 78 degrees. They are more sensitive. They do a LOT of work when you can keep them happy. They are from the pacific and not available at...

    Better than average Reef Crystals deal

    I use a 10ml syringe to get the muriatic out, probably from an old Salifert test kit. I tip the jug to the side until the syringe can get to the liquid. I hold my breath for the few seconds and walk away before I breathe again. The stuff can be nasty, but it is not death in a bottle or...

    Best online Vendor Perks

    You are gonna usually pay more to get rewards and points - BRS, for example, is rarely the cheapest place to buy from. For MAP stuff, please buy locally. You might get a few dollars in points from a web site, but the product is the same price and it is better to keep your money local, IMO...

    hair alge

    I have residual nitrate around .1 and phosphates at 1-3 ppb and I can get algae overgrow my tank if I don't have critters to eat it. Pincushions, snails and sometimes a rabbitfish can help. I rarely have had tangs do any good, but some have. Sand beds have no way to make nitrate out of...

    Ro vat tds - clean or replace?

    I used the same brute for over a decade and even while there was no salt in there, I would get TDS around 5-10 even though if you caught the RODI coming out of the unit, it was always 0-1. For me, this is just the cost of doing business? :) I would not worry about RODI reservoir values too...

    RR Angry Birds

    I imagine that you are full, but if you are open to trade, I have lots of valuable and rare SPS.

    Looking for a New Light

    What are you going to keep? It matters. If you want a mixed reef, then this is not a huge deal and nearly all lights can get this done where every owner will tell you that what they use is the best ever. If you want to focus on trickier corals, acropora and other harder things, then not all...
