    SODA LIME: ANYONE DOING BULK BUYS?

    IME the way you store and dose kalk can make a big difference. My dosing solution is in an almost air tight container, with a styrofoam float. If you can keep your kalk solution at a high pH it takes much less of it to get the job done. I still have to run an ATO on my tanks in conjunction with...

    Anyone keep seahorses in their reef tank?

    Ya, all of them. That's how I got into raising the fry (babies). If you have a male and a female in the tank you will have babies in time. It might take 3 weeks, it might take 6 months, it might take a year but they will pair up. Once they pair up you will have a new batch of fry every 14-18...

    Anyone keep seahorses in their reef tank?

    10 years. Oldest warm water seahorses I know of that were CB were 12. If you keep seahorses in colder water, feed them twice a day, and have them in a tank where nothing hurts them they live a long time. Many people I know have seahorses older then 10. No one older then 12. I've had some old...

    Anyone keep seahorses in their reef tank?

    Ya, they take a bit of planning, but they are incredible creatures. I kept them for about 14 years. When my tank with the 8 grandkid seahorses to my first seahorse crashed, I just moved on to other fish. I just got way to attached. Maybe one day I will do them again. Really fun, personable fish.

    Anyone keep seahorses in their reef tank?

    I have. I bred a few different species of seahorses from 2000-2006. If you want to do this I would recommend Barbouri, Reidi. Erectus do live on the reef somewhat but do not seem to be as tolerant. Other species I have tried like Comes or Whitei just aren't good for their own reasons. Any of...

    Anyone acquire and sell fish?

    The fish I have received from Dooly are the same price as the fish are sold for at my local LFS. The one difference is Dooly QT's and medicates them. My end cost is the same.

    Anyone acquire and sell fish?

    Dooly on this forum has got specific fish for me, and even done a full quarantine with treatment for me before I pick them up. His setup/practice is legit. Only place besides Biota I plan to buy fish going forward. When you see his QT tanks you will understand. All of the tanks are immaculate...

    Water mixing station Sold!

    One would be way more then enough for my needs. I was considering doing a single 50-75g, but I am sure it doesn't hurt anything if I leave extra room on top. Just the one hole on top? Other then that they seal completely? If Les Paul wants to buy both, I certainly don't want to stand in his...

    Pond liner in stand saved me

    This will be my future. I am getting to old to carry buckets. I plan to put my drain line a bit lower, and then just pump new water in for WC's. Extra can drain out. I have a friend who has his skimmer drain into a line this way as well. I haven't gone that far on my nano tank yet, but will...

    Pond liner in stand saved me

    I just fold them up and staple the top piece at the corner. Mine is really nothing fancy at all.

    Pond liner in stand saved me

    Moving the sump is easy. . . I just did mine today LOL. You can do it in a morning :) The Tunze nano is the one that got stuck on me. From reading online it has happened to others as well. I now have the the Osmolator 3155 on my little nano. Figure if it works on the big tank why not. :D...

    Pond liner in stand saved me

    Does anyone else have a pond liner under their sump in their stand? I have been doing this for about 17 years now and this morning it saved me a second time. Mine goes under my sump and has a lip that goes up the stand. My ATO pump got stuck on, and emptied my entire reservoir into my sump...

    WTB - Custom Glass Reef Tank

    Fujimoto is the only tank I have ever had fail. It failed in the first week of owning it. I was using the stand that was sold with it. They did not honor their warranty. It was 2005. I am still pissed.

    40-50g tank

    I have a slightly larger acrylic tank. It has a "built in" back chamber. It's been on the side of my house for like two years, but if it is just for a QT it would work. I have a bunch of extra copper power to if your QTing fish. LMK. It's yours if you want it.
