Are you looking for a digital tester or a liquid test kit? I use the salifert calcium test kit and I love it.
I hate to say this but I have never had any luck with using a clean-up crew to combat algae growth. Algae can take over a tank faster than they can...
+1. I agree!
Very interesting... I never thought I would see the day where someone would actually recommend dosing nitrate!! Seems logical though.
This one looks like a good option. It is pretty cheap and has good reviews. I just use the standard BRS reactor. It does the job. Here is the...
I'm sorry, did you hear me mention phosguard? There is no need to get all rude and sarcastic. You are correct, I have not used phosguard. From...
Like 40 bucks. You will also have to buy a pump (around $20). This will allow you to get the most out of the GFO. The filter bag is not the best...

So I'm sure many of you have heard about hurricane sandy.. [IMG] I am in Philadelphia, and we are probably going to get hit. They are calling it...
I must agree with coralline here. The mushroom rock (no matter how nice it is) is far from worth it. If it were me, I would toss it.
Your alk is going to drop significantly faster than your calcium or magnesium. I'd have to recommend doing 2 part as your cheapest option. BRS sells...
They are glued with this Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive - Rapid LED
hahah you should do an hourly countdown
+1. I have actually read this a few times before. I believe it has to do with the size of the skimmer/collection cup. If you don't have enough...
+1. I would not do this. A 10g tank is somewhere around $15
+1. I'm sure this thread will help many in the future. Not a problem! I must say that I learned a lot from this thread as well. There is always...
