I use the jug for a kalkwasser drip from time to time. I've been using liquid calcium lately until some of my newest tank additions have fully...
I wouldn't go so far as to say they don't use any type of mechanical filtration, most have at least a protein skimmer. The important thing to...
My prefilter is a piece of bonded filter pad down in the sump, on top of the 'trickle tray' (in what was a wet/dry filter). There are a lot of people...
Unfortunatley, not exactly. The shipments come from California, but I'm not sure where those people get them. I have thought about this one before...
Here ya go, pics aren't that great, but it isn't easy to get behind there to take them! ;D [img] [img]
I was going to make one of these, but had another idea one night. I took a PVC T fitting and slipped the vertical 'leg' into the drain pipe. Then, I...
First, thanks for the reply. There is a lot to say on this one, and please don't take any of it the wrong way! Actually, lionfish are quite reef...
I've been thinking about getting a UV unit also, but not so sure it's a good idea with the various filter feeders in my tank (squamosa clam, feather...
Thanks amcarrig, I think I'll take your advice and just leave it be for now. It seems to be really making a good recovery, and you just can't beat...
Perhaps the seachem, but there is a bad batch of Salifert Ca tests floating around out there. Until I can figure out some way to identify those kits,...

I was at one of my LFS a couple of days ago and noticed an open brain sitting in the bottom of a basin full of live/base rock. The guys usually keep...
OK, I am beginning to feel like a mass murderer of fish. All of my current fish are all happy and I have decided to add 1 more. Problem is, I am on...
The Aquarium Pharm test was only about $11 and seems to be pretty accurate...hopefully! I need to find another test to compare it with, but with the...
I use the FasTest for my Nitrates and it seems to agree with my Salifert Nitrate test. I don't have as much confidence in the Ca kit though, that was...
My most recent pics are in the gallery http://www.3reef.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=GraviT I still need to buy a new digital camera, so I borrow a...
Yikes! My brain decided to have some ricordia for lunch! A couple of nice green ones fell next to the maze brain and it started munching on them in...
I would definitely get it tested. I was using the SeaTest and got consistent readings of 330 no matter how much kalk and Kent Liquid Calcium I added....
Ack!! Up to 8 in the bowl now! :o No wonder the colts haven't been doing well. I hope the colt can survive all of this air exposure from trying to...
