    Live Rock tub went sour

    Hi, I have live rock in a tub that had some xenia on it (not for sale anymore). Came in today and the tub stinks to high heaven. Guess the xenia freaked. Is the live rock salvagable? water change until the stink is gone and water parameters are stable? Any thoughts are appreciated. Larry

    Mag 12, leaking slightly

    Anyone have a mag 12 that leaked a little? What can be done, if anything to fix it? I'd like to have it as a back up to the new one (mag 18) that I ordered. I'm currently using a used little giant but it's too big for my setup (it won't fit in the cabinet correctly). Thanks for the info. Larry

    Plastic Hose Clamps

    Hi, I found a package of plastics hose clamps at harbor freight over the weekend. 50+ and several different sizes for about $4. Now, these might not be the "best" quality but they certainly look like the ones I've always seen. I'll let you know if they're complete trash when I use them. Larry

    Can someone tell me why my t-5 strip blinks when it is plugged into an X-10 outlet? When the aquacontroller turns off the outlet, the t-5 blinks once about every second.

    Do you have Halimeda in your setup?

    I'm opening a poll on the usage of Halimeda. I'm very curious about it's interaction with other inhabitants. I have an anemone that started to decline suddenly and the only thing that changed (that I'm aware of) was the addition of some halimeda which it came into direct contact with. I hope...

    I posted this in another thread, but bored stiff yesterday waiting on my kid at the ortho I stepped into petland in frisco. They now have several saltwater tanks with nice fish (not just damsels) and some coral. All tanks are stocked with live rock (8 or 9/lb, yikes). But it looks like a real...

    Ro/Di Dumb question

    I purchased a 60gpd unit from Kent. What physically keeps this unit at 60gpd? If I replace the RO membrane with a 100gpd, will I get 100gpd? Isn't everything else pretty much the same? Larry

    RBTA vs. Toad Stool

    If they touch wll the toad stool be hurt? The RBTA is getting insanely large and it's tips are about 1" away from the leather. It wouldn't be hard to move the toad stool, but it will tank some tank re-arranging. Larry

    Buffering Top Off Water

    I feel like this is a dumb question, but I'm concerned about the PH of my topoff water. I've always done topoff straight out of the RO/DI unit. It occurs to me, finally, that maybe I should be buffering it. It seems my top-end PH has pulled back from 8.3 to 8.2 and the bottom has dropped into...

    Not sure what it's actually called. I saw one of these online somewhere and I can't find it now. It's a float mechanism for the sump that opens/closes a 1/4" JG fitting for auto-topoff. Anyone know where I might look?
