Works great. I have it for my 2.5 gallon pico reef and it has never let the salinity move. It is very sensitive which is great and I have never had a problem with it. The only thing I don't understand is why when I plug it in it turns the pump on for a couple of seconds. It is kind of annoying...

refractometer review: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?52661-Refractometer-by-AdeAdvancedOptics&p=578173#post578173

I bought this refractometer made by AdeAdvancedOptics for $25 the other day and it works great. It came calibrated and was very easy to use. Comes with a hard case, glasses cleaning towel, small screwdriver for calibrating, a pipette and obviously the refractometer. I can now very easily take...

Zoanthid help: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?52571-Zoa-is-Shrinking&p=577056#post577056

My Magician is shrinking into itself. I don't know why because the ones right next to it are doing fine and don't seems to be showing any negative signs. I am going to do a water change in the next two days so hopefully that will help. Is there anything else I should look for?

updated tank thread: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?51219-Fluval-Spec-2-Zoa-Garden

Not too much has changed. Ammonia is at 0 and I bought a refractomter to keep my salinity in check. I still need to calibrate it with RO DI which I can get tonight. Then I'll do a water change thursday or wednesday depending on how much work I need to do. No growth to report, but the brown algae...

Best small snail thread: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?52488-Best-Small-Snail&p=575968#post575968

What snail is good for a small tank. I have a 2.5 gallon that needs some snails. I was thinking bumble bee, but I don't know much about snails. Thanks

Aptasia-X review:http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?52441-Aptasia-X-by-Red-Sea&p=575102#post575102

Worked as advertised. Took out a lot of big apatasias for me. I can't see any of the base left which is good. I paired this with two peppermint shrimp and they have seemed to work well. I'll post again if the "dead" ones reappear but as of right now I recommend Aptasia-X. Just make sure to turn...

Nope, no fish. Here is an old photo of my nano, but not much has changed, just a couple more zoas. And here is my diamond goby in the 29g. I don't have a pic of the tank, recently, though.

Hello, My name is Josh and I'm from LA but am going to school in Irvine. I have made several posts on this forum already, but never introduced myself. I have two tanks at the moment: a 29g biocube at home that is under my dad's control and a 2.5 fluval spec with me at school. My 2.5 is my pride...

Time Lapse questions: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?52327-Time-Lapse-Suggestions&p=573888#post573888

I want to take a time lapse of my tank over the next couple of months, but I have a few questions. Should I take a picture every day or week? Is there enough growth per day to justify that? Also, should I wait until I have gotten all my corals in the tank and a spot I like before I begin? I was...

IDK what it is, but to be safe, assume it is bad.

Yeah I know, I'm not sure where it goes really...
