    Aqualogic Controller - The King is dead

    At least to me. I have two Aqualogic controllers with a titanium probe - one in the nano tank and one for the IM 150. The IM 150 titanium probe connected to the Aqualogic is reading 76 (approx 2+ years old) - as per below - the Hanna temp checker calibration device is at 79.4, as well as the...

    Discosoma Mushrooms - nice looking but still to be avoided?

    I am debating whether to add 3 or 4 of these bright orange discosomas already encrusted into the main display tank - currently in quarantine. What do you guys think? A good idea? Added a poll for easier feedback :).

    Citric Acid - Cheaper Options

    I have been using more citric acid recently and trying to reduce costs. Has anyone tried ordering from them? Looks like they are around 30-40 USD cheaper per 50 pounds than the cheapest (good) Amazon option. I liked this the best...

    UV Sterilizer - How to connect a pump with the sterilizer?

    I would like to temporarily run a UV to reduce the bacterial population in my tank. Since I will be unable to plump this into my setup, I need to run a 'portable' sterilizer. Unfortunately, the good sterilizer come without a pump so I have to connect one to it. Does anyone run either of these...

    Desiccant media - differences or are they all the same?

    I need to use and regularly replace desiccant media for my Ozone generator. While it can be recharged, I am still losing a bit of it every once in a while. I currently have the ones BRS sells, but I wonder if there are cheaper options? Ideally not from AMAZON since I am currently trying to...

    [GONE] PIF - Pink goni damaged by overlighting needs fragging

    I am giving this away now to experienced hands, although it recovered significantly (it was bleached previously). It was exposed to too much PAR over a too long time, and the only way to make it look better going forward is to frag it into smaller pieces, cutting off the dead area with algae on...

    PH and ORP Probe Cleaning (and Storage) solution - cheaper alternatives to Milwaukee

    I need to clean and refresh my ORP probes weekly now as they seem to fall out of calibration after about a week. The reason could be likely due to their placement right next to where the dosers are, but not sure. Therefore, I am looking for cheaper options due to higher usage. Same with the...

    [Pending] PIF - Very large Zebra Turbo Snail (1)

    I got two of these very beautiful snails from @CaseyP recently and I must say, 3 inches in size are much (!) larger in person :). Unfortunately, I am very concerned that they are starving in my tank, since there is no visible algae and they do not move around a ton. I was hoping they stay more...

    I am giving away what you see on picture related to trace elements only (!). Most are half full or more. Manganese and Iodine only approx 1/4 full.
