I second Gresham on the Ranco's. I have used them for years and have never had a failure. Just to be sure though, I now run both my tanks with two "redundant" ranco controllers each on a separate GFCI protected circuit. The "redundant" controller is just a pair of ranco's wired in series so...

I am trying to help my mom get her ~50g hex tank cleaned up and some fish in it again. She had a fish my brother gave her like 5 years ago after he tore down his tank and it died the other day, I think of old age. She is looking for some fish that have some personality. The problem is I have...

I got my 24 buckets the other week from DF&S. Its on my hit list in the next day or two to test a few of them. I'll post the results.

Rich I got your PM but since I am not a member currently I cannot open/view it. Please email me at chris at missingpacket.com and we can talk. Thanks!

I figured Max would find it first if it was coming in from a wholesaler. My post was more to see if anyone saw a trade in at a LFS recently. I would prefer a trade in as they typically do a lot better in a tank compared to wild caught and they have a lot better personality. Thanks

I talked with max a few weeks ago and he is already looking for one for me. I was just curious if anyone saw any others already at a LFS. I would like to try to get one this week so I can QT them and have them in the tank by Xmas. Thanks

Hi, I am looking for a medium to large Porc Puffer for my 600g FOWLR system. Anyone seen one for sale? Thanks

Elite, I buy all my acrylic tube from freckleface.com. They have the best price on the net that I have found for cell cast tube. As for the 2kw heater I have it all plumbed into the 900g water change tank but have not run the 220v circuit over yet for it. Its on the list to do but have just...

Wow the price must have changed today. I just ordered it yesterday. CD-16882 Aquarium Systems Synthetic Sea Salt Reef Crystals 160 gallon mix $31.99 x 24 = $767.76 It was funny the first time I ordered a pallet of RC from DF&S was early last year and they shipped it via FexEx. They...

I am over in the east bay so have only tried LFS out this way and they all seem to be in the $50 range per bucket (last I check, about 12 months ago). The nice thing with DF&S is I can get RC delivered to my driveway for < $33 a bucket including shipping. Even if I can save a few dollars...

Just wanted to do a follow up. I just got confirmation of the freight shipment on 24 buckets on RC Salt from DF&S. There was no additional charge for the freight. They must have one hell of a profit margin on the salt of they are loosing their you know what. I wish there was a LFS that...

Understandable. I've got it if you need more in the future. It works great for PVC to PVC joints. some pics of the sulfur dinitrator I am working on.

Elite I have a quart of #2007 here in San Ramon if you want a little bit. I had a hell of a time tracking it down. Let me know.

Are you using the SeaChem PhosGuard stuff? If you are next time make sure to pick up a phosphate remover that is a GFO type. PhosGuard is an aluminum oxide type remove (it will look white, where the GFO ones look rust colored). The problem with the aluminum oxide products is they don't remove...

Granular Ferric Oxide aka Phosphate remover. Phosban, Rowaphos, etc. If you dont have a small phosphate reactor I would setup one and put some GFO in it. I had some hair algae I was battling in my SPS system even though my phosphate tests showed 0. As soon as I setup my reactor again it just...

Tapmorf, Are you running GFO in your tank? If not I would highly recommend it as I suspect there are trace amounts of PO4 in the tank and the algae is using it up as quick as its released. So your tests might show 0 but its still there.

I have 3 tanks. I 55g in my home office with a pair of clown, a 220g SPS system and a 600g FOWLR system. The 600g has a 300g sump and 240g fuge. I found this 900g mix up tank a few years back on CL and figured it would make a great water change tank. So I built a bump out on my shed (the...

Just an FYI. If anyone is ever in an emergency I have a 900g tank of water typically mixed up (with Reef Crystals) and warm at any given time. I typically never let it below about 400g. So feel free to email me and come on over and load up what ever you need. I am just located over in San...

Well its time for me to buy another cubic foot of resin. The last one I bought from resindepot.com but it looks like they have since been aquired by APSwater. Anyone delt with them before? Also anyone have a favorite brand mixed bed resin? It looks like they still carry the Resin Depot brand...

Gresham, So the $17.99 for a pallet is not working anymore? I just filled up my cart on DF&S with 24 buckets and it still shows $17.99. Please let me know what you have heard. Thanks!
