Procured an Aquanetics temp controller some time ago and not sure how to hookup it up. The darn thing did not come with instructions, nor disignation for the wires. Would apreciate any help on determining what each wire is for.... Label lists; Aquanetics Electronic Thermostat Model 120-1...

I have 2 decent size ricordias that are both taking forever to split. Both have started splitting and I can see 2 distinct mouths on each. Can I take a razor blade and cut each such that each piece has a mouth and approx the same body size left? Can I use a razor blade to scrape/cut the new...

Noticed that with my plumbing mods and pumps changes this year, the low end of the tank's temp range had taken another notch down, towards 74 deg F. Currently using a 100W cheapie heater together with a WON 300W heater on my 210g tank. Thinking about adding in my other, backup WON 300W...

cleaning and redoing some of my tank's plumbing. the pvc return pipe in the overflow box is fixed to the bulkhead, and i want to glue an elbow pvc fitting to it's top, a wet surface (though not submerged). Will the glue cure and hold? i know the glue's solvent is mostly acetic acid...

I won one of those tomato clowns at last meeting's raffle. Its color then was a bright orange and at about 1-1.5" sized. I put it into my nano tank. Last week, I finally got around to moving a recently split LTA anemone from my big tank into the nano. It took almost 2 hours before the clown...

[Can I place the reactors at locations of high and/or long light exposure? I know that with skimmers, coralline and macro algae may sometimes grow on the inner walls of the reaction tube under high/long light conditions. I would hope that the high pH levels of the Ca and Kalk reactors would...

[Setting up a diy Ca reactor and reviewing options for CO2 source and configs. Thinking of using the small canisters that are available for paintball guns, i.e.; 9 ounce cans. Any BTDT and/or opinions? Also, how long would such size can last on a 210g SW system?]

[Crocea clam, 3-4 inches. - In my tank for a little over a year. - Hasn't opened in 2 days. - Exposed mantle appears to have same coloring, no fading. - No signs of pyramidial snails nor predatory worms on it. - Byssel strand still very tightly attached to rock. - No changes to feeding, water...

[I'm running two MD70RLT pumps for the returns from my sump to tank. After 3 years of running, flow has greatly reduced since new, I suspect due to detritus and Calcium buildup within the pump. I plan to disassemble them for cleaning in attempt to regain spec output flow. Any BTDT lessons...

[Looking for testimonials on the dosing of amino acids or aspartic acid. I know Salifert sells the Bio-Coral additive. Anyone dosing generic amino acids or aspartic acid as opposed to the Salifert? If generic, which brands/product and dosing amounts? There are threads on RC and AdvAq...

[Has anyone been able to locate the unscented Arm & Hammer Washing Soda in the DFW area? If yes, which stores carry it? I want to begin using it as described in the RC threads as part of the homemade 2 part Ca-Buffer additive system.]
