    Calcium Reactor media for magnesium

    I had mentioned during the meeting that there was a media supplement you could add to your calcium reactor ARM media that would add magnesium to the output. Someone had asked me after the meeting about it but all I could remember at the time was it was made by Brightwell. So here's a picture of...

    Rimless jumper prevention

    So as a sort of continuation on this thread where Joe lost his trigger viewtopic.php?f=99&t=115518 but couldn't because it's locked. I'm getting ready to switch to rimless too. What do people do to prevent jumping accidents? I've only ever had jumpers at night time so I was thinking of...

    Galaxia and algae holes

    I recently got a baseball sized galaxia from another member and it wasn't in very good shape. It had a lot of algae growing on it and one nickle sized hole on the top side where the algae had started eating into it. I dipped in some peroxide and tank water and used a toothbrush and was able to...

    Plumbers putty?

    I've used the epoxy putty stick on a few things and it works out well for things that I want to permanently attach. I was wondering if the "Ultra" non-staining, non-toxic, non-soluble, non-hardening plumbers putty that is made for natural and porous surfaces would be okay to use to temporarily...

    Is my nem "Special"

    I got a new GBTA about a week ago and he's great as long as the lights are on. In the night after the lights are out he gets himself into trouble. When I first put him in he was all inflated and bubbled up, very nice looking, strong foothold to where he was. He ate some mysis I gave him. He...

    Which return pump?

    I have a 4x2x2 120g with dual corner overflows and returns. I haven't built my sump yet but I have about 46" width in the stand to work with. I had purchased a Reeflo blowhole 1100 to push an ETS downdraft skimmer and an Eheim 1262 I had intended for the return pump. For space reasons I have...

    Downdraft or something newer?

    I have an ETSS 800 downdraft skimmer that I used on my old tank that I've kept for when I setup a new tank. I'll be setting up a 125g soon and I'm wondering if I should stick with the downdraft or go for something newer? I don't have a pump for the ETSS 800 and it needs a Iwaki 55 or...
