Be careful of the RO water from the grocery store machines (it's only RO not RO/DI). I had been running my tank at 0 nitrates for a number of months and all of a sudden, my nitrates read 40. Why? Tested the RO water from two different stores, one read 20, the other 40ppm on nitrates. If they...

Sorry that I am a week and a half late in getting back to this thread, but I did an ammonia test yesterday on my newly mixed red sea coral pro water and my ammonia read 0. Just fyi.

Any cyanoacrylate glue will work. I buy the Super Glue (brand) 3 small tubes for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree store. Each tube doesn't last long because there is such a small amount in each, but I don't frag that often so it works for me. Also, I just bought a tube of Krazy Glue Advanced and...

I had a small broken branch of a purple plume gorgonian that I super glued into a notch on the side of a arch rock. It took hold in about a week and has been branching ever since.

I will mix some up tonight when I get home from work and report the results. Just fyi, I mix in a home depot bucket.

Well, after some more research, it seems that ethyl cyanoacetate is a key ingredient in making cyanoacrylate. Just as a point of information (because the more info the better as far as I'm concerned) here is a quote from the article linked below. "The chemicals necessary to form...

Anyone know what the second ingredient is/does? It seems it is related to cyanoacrylate.

Has anyone used Krazy Glue Advanced Gel for gluing frags? I'm a bit nervous about it because the contents reads: cyanoacrylate glue, ethyl cyanoacetate. Typically, the super glues I've used in the past only list cyanoacrylate.

I just measured the one I bought from a fellow nanoreefer and it's 4 3/8" from the back edge of the tank when it's hung.

Anybody?

Hi all, I've read a few posts on using this breeder box http://www.finnex.net/index.php?page=shop....=1&Itemid=6 as a fuge and all of them end up talking about the weak flow created by the included air pump if used for macroalgaes, etc. Has anyone used various sizes of vinyl tubing as a...

Bump. Anyone?

I just bought a 4 head frag of Australian green splatter goniastrea two nights ago for my 10 gallon nano and it's showing a little tissue recession on some of the edges. Also the maroon color is a little faded from when I first put it in. My water parameters are fine, 78.5 F, 1.025, 0...
