me toooooooo!

I always use shrimp from the supermarket to feed my snowflake moray. I usually take off the shell, and cut it into bite size pieces, then feed it. about 15 shrimp cost about $1.50?

Look in the DIY section of the forums

I was able to find a float that attached to the side of my sump from Tractor Supply Co, wheich was designed to be used for cattle water troughs. It cost about 9 bucks and works great!!

I just drop in the shrimp pellets for the hermits and snails. I use a phytoplankton liquit for the corals, without the filter running, and the hermits will also eat whatever falls to the bottom, or sometimes, they will go after the algae clamp at the top of the tank, if they can climb there...

I have adapted a system from my water pipes, into a ro/di since I need it, but I suppose you could do without it. If you look in the DIY section, you will see some odeas, but basically, I tapped the cold water pipe, and used flexible tubing for that, to a valve that prevents backflow. This...

Mine are there almost every night when the lights go out

I am in Staunton. Tell me what I need to do?

This is why I found someone who was skilled in Saltwater tanks to watch mine when I went away! If anything went wrong, I think it would have been covered.

I have never seen a UPS with a GFCI device attached. I would say that it might be a good idea to have the UPS plug into one (I have it set up that way, so if it trips the circuit, the battery will work, until I reset it) I recently had a power outage from a cut power cable and once the battery...
