    How to keep supplements stirred???

    Hi, I have a dosing pump set up to supply Seachem Reef Fusion 1 & 2, however the Alk solution (Fusion 2) needs mixing prior to dosing. I've had it up and running for a couple of months and found that there is a lot of sediment in the Alk solution. A small pump seems to be overkill (but...

    Multi-timer for iPhone/ipad

    I've just found an app for the iPhone that enables you to set a timer for more than one thing at a time. I use it for timing when I'm testing the water for nitrate, ammonia etc and it means I can have more than one test going at a time. The app is actually designed as a kitchen timer, but it...

    Additional substrate

    Hi, Well I given it about 6 weeks and I am still getting a fine covering of sand on the lowest LR, it seems to get kicked up sporadically and deposit itself onto those rocks.

    Long hair creature!

    A while ago in my FOWLR I used to see a long 'hair' , 2-3 inches, protruding from my LR. It would waft around in the current for a while and then disappear very quickly. It's gone now, my fish used to love trying to eat it so I assume one of them was quick enough to get it, but I always wondered...
