Actually, I'm not entirely positive what is precipitating but I'd wager that it is calcium. I do not believe that it is any different than b-ionic or other similar products. Lynn, what he means is that for my tank (29 gallon) i use two teaspoons a day. For a 100 I imagine he would go through a...

Yes and yes. Bear in mind that if for any reason your tank drops below 78 the stuff tends to precipitate out but that isn't too big a deal.

The newest generation of Seaclone does have the inner tube cut down already. I've been running one for about 8 months and I hate it. They are hard as hell to set right and the slightest thing will cause billions of microbubbles to jet into the tank. The most important thing about it is to clean...

In January I'll be going to New Orleans and I read that this is close by my hotel. Anyone been there and is it worth checking out? Thanks!

Yes, the reports are being disavowed. I just talked to a buddy on base and it is true that a plane crashed in Camp David. They are going to downplay it as much as possible to avoid a panic.

This just in... a plane has crashed into Bush's home in Camp David. This is confirmed as I work 100 yards from Great Lakes Naval Base. Bush was in the air in AirForce1 at the time. No reports yet as to who else might have been there.

Could he get away with just running conduit to a box behind all the tanks and wire out from there with that thick ass white stuff? Or does it have to be to within a certain distance? He said it had to do with Kenosha not understanding endcaps or something, so maybe they expect conduit all the...

A new reef store is trying to open in downtown Kenosha called Fishy Biz, but because of the nature of the lighting on his tanks the city of Kenosha will not issue him an electrical permit. He has been fighting the city for a month and a half to get this through. As far as I understand it, he is...

Shocking thread... must read!!

Actually, it seems that the makers of the Seaclone have read about the same mods you're talking about because when i got mine the inner tube was cut way down from the old model and there was a normal air valve. Its skimming quite nicely, I was just worried about the bubbles. Thanks for the info!

Actually its my first skimmer and could use a little advice. Yes, first let me get it out in the open, its a Seaclone. No flames please its all that would fit my hood. anyway its been set up for a couple hours and there are TONS of tiny bubbles flooding my tank. Is that part of the break in of...

The best thing for this is a self adhesive foil you can buy at any hobby shop. It is designed to cover the skeleton of model airplanes and is very easy to use and comes in very highly reflective colors for about $5.00 a roll. I have used the chrome stuff before and it worked like a charm. HTH

Tank in question is an Eclipse 29gal without the filter pad. Lights are 65W PC, less than 2 months old. Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: >5 Ph: 8.2ish Temp: 79-80 Additives: 10 drops Kent iodine once a week, Kent liquid calcium as directed, Kent trace elements as directed I don't think I missed...

Well, considering the original idea of this post was to help me decide if I should start testing for Alk I'd say it did the job. I'll get back in a couple days when I get some kits. Tanks all!

Things in my tank are not looking all that well as of late. My mushrooms are continuing to decline, but not all, just certain colors. The only parameter that I'm not testing for is Alk and all the others are perfectly within acceptable limits. My button polyps are also doing fine. My PH has been...
