Some have asked so...The skimmer is complete. Some of the models they sell now come with a box that attaches to the outflow for prefiltering. This model never included that box. Otherwise it's in perfect condition, just to small for my new tank.

Selling some equipment due to a vast upgrade in tank size. Dual 175watt Mogul MH Retro Kit Catalina Retro Kit. 3 months old. Includes entire kit. Ballast, quick disconnect cords, mogul bases with attached reflectors, and ReefGrow 10k Lights. System used for 3 months, 10k bulbs for 2.5 months...

it is a drop test right? not a dip(litmus)? by NC red clay i asssume you mean north carolina? well for one te clay's cec abilities could be absorbing your buffering. De-ionization services use this to that very thing. absorb magnesium, calcium and sodium which may explain why adding baking soda...

i buy my lamotte tests from drsfostersmith.com IMO they are the ONLY test kit and at 15 from the drs you cant beat it Urv

i reccomend mixing bulbs personnally. as long as they all have a spectrum in the chlorophyll action spectrum then your good. I use a GE P&A, A Sylvania Gro-Lux, and a GE Fresh and Salt. i think my color temps are 3400k, 4100k, and 9325k it's like purple, orange, blue. lol i get good plant...

xzap let me ask a few questions... other than the wod whats in your tank as far as like substrate and whatnot. did you use peat in your substrate possibly? whats your tap water test at? and whats your tank test at for GH? sounds to me like theres an imbalance in your buffering. have you ever...

I swear if I ever wint he lottery or anything I will leave home fly to japan and beg Amano to let me work free at ADA. oh what i wouldnt give. i told the wife i keep looking for the amano reality show where the pick average american aquascaper and send him to ADA to train... lol wacky dreams

Just my Nickel here... but i dont reccomend them. it causes more work that could just be done with a gravel vaccing. never ever use one in a panted tank. Mostly i replied because of the guy who said his lfs used them in marine tanks. if your interested check out info on the Jaubert system of...

i think ic ame late to this. But i can not stress enough that if you can find it for 11 to 14 dollars the Tetra test Laborette Master Kit is the best choice and has the least variance in error i think maybe +/- .2 or something. People who use the EI method of fertilizing plant tanks wont buy...

That depends on how densely planted the tank really is. Could help very little or alot. But I would feel safe assuming he isnt using high light or co2 and therfore it wont help much if at all as his plants are locked in exactly how much uptake there is. I can tell you from experience if he's...

This method is used by many a well known Aquascaper. I just thought I would share it. You may already know. When you buy say glosso or Microswords they tend to come in a little "bunch". it's been my experience the novice tends to throw this in the tank as is, which will work, but will cause a...

This is just IMO, but it is shared by a rather large community. Unless your growing heavily root based pants like swords, and even then, if you dose the water column well enough you dont need to worry about the substrate that much. it wont be alife or death descision for your plants. the heavy...

I agree it's not as effective in a larger water column. I will say that it is useful in addition to Co2 as many have found. It also has iron content which is good. I'd say that DIY is a better method. It's really not that bad i dont think. It takes me all of 5 minutes to mix and I just use 2...

Just an FYI for future refrence: heres a link to a good<not complete> but good plant index: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/index.php?

Heres a good list of plants to look for Taller 2-5 inches: Lilaeopsis novae-Zelandae - Microswords Echindorus Tennellus - Pygmy Chain Sword Eleochairs Acicularis - Hairgrass also comes ina dwarf version Marsilea Hirusta - Aquatic Clover Shorter or trimmable: Glossostigma Hemianthus...

go to Wal-Mart the have "Lights of America" Shoplights whicha re better because they power a wide variety of bulbs both t-12 and t-8 and 32 and 40 watts. You want bulbs that fall in the Chlorophyll Action Spectrum My suggestions here are: Phillips Plant & Aquarium Bulbs - Home Depot GE Plant &...

I was wondering if anyone had a list or would like to help by contributing to my list(for an article) of the most wanted, hardest to find Aquascaping plants. By hardest to find I mean they are not readily found locally, may not even appear on Aquabid very often or are expensive when they can be...
