    Lawnmower blennie QT

    I just got a small lawnmower blenny to try and rid my 72 bowfront of nuisance hair algae. He is in a 20 gallon tank connected to the return mainfold, so no truly a quarantine. I can isolate this tank however if needed. The system reactors, GFO and carbon operate from and to this tank. Question...

    Help for the color blind!

    Please help! I have been using Salifert test kits for a loooong time. I just tested the standard from BAR and my results show 11.5 (see pic below) The first pic is the sample with the 4 drops of the green stuff. Second pic is where the standard should be (10.884 KH). Third pic is where...

    Refractometer Standard

    Good Morning All, Great swap yesterday! Has anyone else tested the refractometer standard? It says 1.026 but my Sybon Opticon FG100sa reads the standard as 1.027. I haven't had to recalibrate since purchased a few years ago. The manufacturer supplied calibration standard which is...

    Late Introduction

    Good Morning fellow reefers, I've been to the last few meetings and met some of you but have yet to formally introduce myself. Better late than never right? I had my first reef tank in the mid 1980's in Alameda. It was a 40 gal tru-vue with the overflow / filter section included in the...

    Orange monti cap

    This my first time with DBTC, so please forgive if my format isn't correct. I got a small piece of this from Hunter at Lucky Goldfish years ago. Slow growing. My main colony broke a couple months ago and I have 1 frag ready. I got this when I was just beginning my attempt at sps. Hunter gave...

    Best water storage container prices

    I am looking to move my ro/di to an abandoned water heater closet near the aquarium. I will need two tanks with removable lids for the addition of pumps and mixing salt etc... I'd say about 30 gallons or more would be appropriate but the limiting dimension is a 19" door opening. Any input...

    GFO reactor

    Just started up my spetrapure dual reactor. The flow is individually adjustable. I understand that the flow through the gfo should allow the surface to just barely tumble. How much flow should the carbon have? The carbon flow comes from the top, GFO from the bottom.

    Blue PVC Cement curing time

    Not sure if this belongs in this category. How long must I wait for the blue pvc cement to dry before runing my water through it? I'm making a change to my plumbing but don't want to affect my corals adversely.

    PH and other probes

    Can anyone comment on the accuracy and reliability of PH probes? I currently own the milwakee SM 102 and the PH-0007 waterproof pen type ph meter. Both are on the shelf, not being used. Neither were reliable enough to eliminate the salifert test kit. Comparing colors is not my strong point...

    250 gallon deep marine land

    I am looking to buy a new system to replace my 72 gal bow front. This will be a mixed reef tank, need lots of room for fish. I saw a nice 250 gallon deep 60" X 36" X 27" with 2 corner overflows, stand and canopy for around 4k. This is a big purchase so I intend to do lots of homework...
