  3. Yellow Leather turning brown

    I suspect it's a lighting issue. Mine was a vivid yellow when I got it. Even though mine is mid way up in a tank lit by 250 watt MH it is somewhat darker than it was when I got it. These corals do like intense light.
  4. What are the 100 best saltwater/reef products to stock in an

    I would avoid carrying junk. Nothing turns a customer off faster than buying something that was recommended by a LFS employee then finding out that it doesn't work as advertised. Example: Powersweep powerheads, magic potions (Algone).
  5. WEB CAM up and running

    Works for me. Pretty cool. Is this a side view we're seeing?
  6. Will Gemini pumps hold up on a wavemaker?

    The title pretty much says it all. I just got a pair of Gemini pumps and want to put them on alternating timers to cycle every thirty minutes. Will the pumps last with the constant on/off? TIA.
  7. Cutting the Top Brace on a 55 G

    You're probably ok if you're not going to have the tank more than 1/3 full. I had a 55 AGA and the top center brace broke while the tank was full. The sides bowed out about 1/4 inch.
  8. Cappuccino Bay Aquarium?

    My kids won't come with me until the ice cream is in. So hurry up.

    I use Devcon white epoxy putty. The item # is S-80.

    Jay, Is yours an M3?
  11. Solenoid on M3 regulator crapped out after 7 months use

    My M3 solenoid just failed after 8+ months usage.
  12. Electrical knowledge please

    I can tell you for a fact that you are not going to save electricity by using 240 volts. It also sounds like you don't know what you are doing. Wiring 240 volts to a 110 volt outlet is irresponsible and could cause damage and injure an unsuspecting person that comes along after you've moved. If...
  13. Cheapest Place To Buy B-ionic?

    Be aware that some places will charge a shipping surcharge on B-Ionic. Premium Aquatics does not.
  14. tips on propagating corals?

    It's practically impossible to kill mushrooms so any cut you make will work. They do slime pretty bad so glue will not stick to them. The least frusterating way to prop shrooms is to put the cuttings into a Tupperware bowl with some crushed coral. Put the bowl in an area of the tank with low...
  15. Additional equipment for Coolpix 995?

    Hi Ermin, I tripod is very useful for taking macro shots. Other than that you don't really need anything else. I do have a Tiffen +17 closeup lens but that is used only for extreme closeups, like a couple of inches. It allows the camera to focus at a closer range than it normally would. I use...
