I picked up some of it yesterday and had some questions for those that use this. After you open it do you have to refrigerate it? Also how do you put it in the food? Just a few drops before you feed or soak overnight? TIA Stephen

I was so happy that I had to share. I just finished drilling my 15 gal fuge for another drain. A guy at the LFS drilled one already but I wanted a back-up. So I tried it myself. I used a Craftsman diamond point bit (P/N 953137) chucked in my drill. Took about 40 minutes. Glad that's over...

I'm going to be covering up the middle holes completely and about 2/3rds of the holes in the bottom row. I want to overflow mostly surface water but will keep a few holes so there is no stagnant area between the baffles. Will silicone be good to fill these holes? Any ideas or previous...

Danner Supreme Mag Drive 9.5 => $65 + shipping Used about 15 minutes. A little more pump than I needed. Decided to use Mag 7. New condition with box, prefilter and paperwork. PM me if interested

I just purchased a retro T5 kit. I will mount the ballasts in the stand and run the wire to the bulbs. I would like to have a quick disconnect to remove the canopy easily if needed. I will probably need 4 connections holding 4-18 gauge wires. Does anyone know where I can get something like...

Will the regular all purpose PVC cement work on flex PVC or do you have to get that special glue? Thanks Stephen

I have a 90 gal Megaflow with the accessory kit. According to the head loss calculator my Mag 9.5 should be about 600 gph. I will have the drain split with about half running directly in to my ASM G3 and the other half running into my fuge. The way I have it designed requires the drain to...

I have purchased 90lbs of Aragamax oolitic sand for my 90 gal tank. I got this because I've read where the smaller sand can support more denitrifying bacteria. Now I've read where someone uses larger sand (2-4mm) because the oolitic caused more sandstorms and pump damage. Just wanted to see...

Anybody know where I can get some 1" black PVC pipe? Thanks, Stephen

I can't seem to find the Oceans Motion site. Can someone help? TIA Stephen

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46310&item=3981109502&rd=1 Gonna be getting an overflow and was wondering about this brand. I will only be pushing around 480 gph and would like for the overflow to be silent. TIA Stephen

I know there was some debate on Mrs. Wages pickling lime. Is she safe to make up kalk? TIA Stephen

I have a kent marine bare bones ro unit. It have used it now for over two years. I just got a tds meter that read 24ppm and the tap reads 416ppm. Does that sound about right? I want to improve by first adding a flush kit and maybe an add-on DI. Anybody have a link to a DIY flush kit or is...

I plan on getting an AGA 90gal megaflow. The drain will split between a 20gal sump and 15gal fuge. I plan on using a Mag pump for the return with about 4' head, check valve and a ball valve union. What size pump (Mag 7, 9.5, 12) should I use? I will be using other methods for water...

I saw a nice red coris wrasse in the LFS today. I was wondering what experiences has anyone had with one? Hardiness? Reef safe? Feeding? Aggressiveness? TIA Stephen

I've been in the process of adding a sump/fuge to my setup. I have not decided on the light on my fuge that will house chaeto. I was shopping in Wal-Mart today when I looked in the pet area and found this light bulb. It's a 10 watt cf bulb made by Lights of America that is 6500K and fits into...

Sorry to ask another one :roll: I will have a 15H tank for my refugium with chaeto. The main goal is to get rid of nitrates and stabalize O2 and pH. Will the Coralife mini-aqualight with 18 watts cf light be enough to accomplish my goals? TIA for all help and opinions!!! Stephen

I am building a larger stand for my 90 gal so it will have room for a sump and refuge. I am using a 15 gal for the fuge that will gravity feed back to sump. The sump I am planning on will just be two chambers, one will hold a future skimmer then bubble trap and finally the return. I was...

Anyone have experience with these meters? I saw them on ebay relatively cheap. Like to know the pros/cons before I buy. Stephen

I have CaribSea Seaflor for a substrate and would like to switch to a DSB. I'm having trouble locating the Southdown sand, but I have access to some sand like is used on golf courses. It seems to be a fine texture and would look great in the tank. I can find out what is actually in the sand...

Glad to be a member of AA. I've been looking around and already found some great information here. I've kept some type of aquarium now for about the past 12 years and my interest is in saltwater. I now have a 90 gal tank with fish and some shrooms that's been going for 2 years now. I just...
