    Reeflo Snapper & OM-4

    Snapper pump & OM-4 used for 14 months. The Snapper has minor saltspray corrosion on the casing at the motor end; otherwise, it's quiet and cool running. I cleaned & inspected the OM-4 inside about 6 weeks ago, and it's in great shape. The OM-4 comes with 2 Version 3 drums. I'll include the...

    DIY Kalk Reactor

    DIY Kalk Reactor

    Thanks everyone... I was surprised to see this old thread dredged up from the murky depths ;) Total investment in was around $45, including the AquaLifter. The use of surplus materials and a few lucky finds really kept the cost down... only the JG fittings and the stainless steel screws were...

    Aqua Controller Problem

    Sage advice... when I get the APEX, I'll be selling my AC3 to a friend who currently has an ACjr. But, I will wait a while before passing it on (he's in no rush to get it), giving myself ample time to gain confidence in the APEX. Being a brand new product line, I fully expect that there will...

    Aqua Controller Problem

    I'm quite happy w/ my AC3, but will upgrade to the new Neptune APEX controller soon (mainly 'cause I'm a technogeek ;) ) I travel extensively on business for up to 2 weeks at a time, so having the remote monitoring and control features is an absolutely necessity. The AC3 has been extremely...

    Aqua Controller Problem

    As 5.56 said, devices which draw a very small amount of power need to be plugged into DC8 outlets #4 or #8. A K1 only draws 3.5 watts max, so definitely fits in this category.

    Page width

    Mike, overall I like the new clean look, but I now always have wide white margins on either side of my widescreen monitor. Can you make like it used to be, where it automatically scaled to fill the full width of the browser window?

    55-gallon Blue barrels w/removable lids for sale

    Gylcerin/glycerol is an alcohol, and 100% water-soluble. Considering that it's used in cosmetics, foods, soaps, etc, I'd say a good rinsing with hot water would be ample cleaning.

    I need some awesome pics!

    I'm looking for several great reef-related pics that I can use for a rotating banner on a non-commercial web site I'm developing. I can use pics 640-1600 pixels wide and 125-200 pixels high, so any pics should look good cropped to these approximate dims. I don't want to use any without...
