I have used www.marinedepot.com and www.drsfostersmith.com for most of my equipment. For lights use www.hellolights.com and for your RO unit ebay is the best place for that equipment.

What else can you feed the sand sifter star if he cleans out the DSB?

Thanks, that is what I thought also. I have put him my refuge tank for now. There are lots of PODS in there for him to eat.

I have a sand sifting starfish that continues to climb up the corner of the tank to the top. Could it be that he is looking for more food? Tank has been running for about three months now. This behavior just started this week. The starfish has been in the tank for the last four weeks.

I am very lucky, my LFS had some great LR. I picked up some 20 to 30 inch pieces that had great color and was fully cured. The price was a little high ($10 per pound), but it was the best that I had gotten so far. I purchase from three different places off the Internet and none of the rock...

No, mine included shipping

I picked mine up NEW on ebay also. My cost for a 5 stage RO/DI unit was 98.00.

Great article, I will up my water changes now that I have better water. So much to learn, but it is all good. I did stop dosing three weeks ago when my CA shot up so high; beginners mistake. Will the SNOW go away after the CA is returned to normal?

Yes I put SeaChem Malawi Victoria Buffer in it, I have switched over to RO/DI water (Now that I know what it is; thanks to you guys).

I was dosing, thought that was the right thing to do. Still new at this. I am using Red Sea Salt for my salt brand, have used that brand since first day. I am doing 15 percent water changes each week, but now that I have the RO device making water I can increase the water change amount this...

I am using a SEATEST test kit to test the CA. Is the Calcium Precip a bad thing or do I need to clean it off the rock?

I noticed today when I came home from work that I have what appears to be snow growing on my new live rock. Is this a good thing or should I brush it off? Current tank readings are as follows; tank been setup for around 70 days. Salt 1.026 Temp 80.6 NH3 0.25 No2 0.3 NO3 10 PO4 0.2 CA...

Used tap water that was held for a week in a barrel with powerhead moving the water around.

I am still in the process of getting all my LR, I have about 60 pounds right now. My question is some of the LR that I have gotten had some feathers on the rock, but now they are gone. Could it be that my water is not cycled enough in my 120 gallon tank to support the feathers. Current reading...

This is the same unit that I purchased a few weeks ago. Came with pretty good instructions for hooking up everything. I did not use the little tank or facet that came with it though. I also had to get a hose and some fittings from Home Depot to connect my garden hose into the input side of the...
