    temp and liverock question??

    I got an aqua controller Jr. for around $120 ish a few years back, not sure what they go for now but thats way cheaper than a chiller. The controller allows you to work anything plugged into it on an "if then" basis like back in the day in science class when we used to make a hypothesis, haha...

    Vehicle LED's

    Hey all, I was driving along today and saw one of the newer audi's driving the other direction. They have the LED headlights along the bottom of the lgiht that make a little "wave" and a thought came to mind: "Could one use the LED's from a vehicle to light their tank?" The reason I ask...

    Want To Buy Live Rock

    Holy Cow! Thats expensive! I bought my LR for my 40g from exoticfish.com or Jeffs Exotic fish and it was $1.99lb back then about 2 years ago. I guess that website is gone now so I am trying to track down their other store.

    Want To Buy Live Rock

    I am starting a nano tank that is 7.5 gallons so I am trying to find someone who has any live rock to sell in small quantities like 15lbs? I cant seem to find anyone selling less than 30-40lbs min.. I want to get some that already has coraline algae on it. My zip is 95403 if your willing to...

    Reptile Pad vs. Aquarium Heater

    Gooood point about the weight. I was trying to think of a way to raise the tank a bit maybe under the four corners and the center....just thinking about it. Most likely I will end up pushing the tank almost all the way up against a all on my counter and then place the heating pad on that...

    Reptile Pad vs. Aquarium Heater

    Has anyone used a reptile heating pad on a nano tank? I am working on a 12x12x12 nano and I wanted it to look really clean (no wires) so I was thinking of slapping a heat pad underneath the tank on the stand. I have done a lot of research on the internet and have only found a picture of one...

    50g FOWLR Setup

    Well I broke down my salt water tank like last may. I moved it 45 miles north, then 30 miles south to my new apartment. Then changed apartments in the same complex twice! haha. So after the second move I just broke it down and gave everything to the LFS. I then several months later created a 10g...

    The 3 Gallon Experiment

    Corals will grow at that low of a temp? I am interested in this as I just bought a Mr Aqua 12x12x12 from marine depot and if I can get away with not using a heater that would be great as I do not want cords hanging out of it....

    Want your opinion on LED lighting!

    So does this mean if I have a 12x12x12 inch tank I cannot use the 1w LED's even though it is pretty shallow? I have one on order and am researching lights right now. I would like to hang 2 LED strips, one white and one blue for LPS's.....

    Nano Reef Lighting

    Well I found out just now that the tank is on back order! AAA, oh well, that gives me more time to find a light and to also find a place that sells live rock without a min order of 25lbs! haha.

    Thanks guys. Those viper lights look like clamp on's. I was really hoping to find something I could hang from my ceiling.

    Nano Reef Lighting

    I previously ran a 40g tank which was easy to find lighting for and last night I bought a 12"x12"x12" tank to start a nano. My biggest problem at this point is trying to find a light that will work for me. Will it be ok to run a PC light on this tank for LPS's since it is so shallow and small...

    Who uses Ozone?

    So ozone is something you use with a monitor called an ORP and the only purpose it serves is to clarify your water and somewhat help your good oxygen needing bacteria?

    !!!!need Help!!!!

    someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe your ph is way too acidic (low). It is supposed to be about 8.2. I am not sure if that would solve the problem. I recomend postig pictures like was mentioned earlier. To post a picture open an account at photobucket.com, then upload your picture...

    Fighting Pesky Dinoflagellates & cyanobacteria!

    Ok. Thank you. I think I just get nervous about these things easily. I never really add anything to my tank except when I do a water change and thats just salt water.

    Fighting Pesky Dinoflagellates & cyanobacteria!

    Ok, so I bought some seachem kalkwasser. Its says to mix 2 teaspoons into 1 gallon of water. So I did that. Then I started a drip line into the tank. So far about 1 cup has been added to the tank and the ph is still the same. So I am assuming it is going to take a lot of this mixture to raise...
