How good are the test kits you are using? I thought when it precipitated out you had the snow storm effect, or is that only with Ca? I would look at the test kits you are using personally

That was the way I was leaning too. I do love the depth of looking into a 6' from the side, but think I can achive the same effect with the cube and have greater room for the aqua scaping as you note. Not to take away from the happy tank dance already in progress though. Dance on

Congrats, that is the only dance I know how to do, and may get to do it again soon. I think the wife is ready for a bigger tank, or at least ready to give in to my relentless begging. Thinking either a 4x4x2 for a 6x2x2 pennesula

This thing has grown to a MAD level. Check out the site to see. We have two 29 gal bio cubes in the raffle, also a 22z Zero Edge tank, tons of lights filters, ro units, the raffle is worth well over $15K and still growing. We have completely booked the host hotel, but have several other...

Lets not. Folks this event would not have been possible if it were not for the G man and Reef Nutrition. First it was Gresham who in late 05 was very kind in his donation to the 1st ever FragFest. Not only was he very supportive with that, but on a personal level Gresham has given me...

This thing is growing like aptasia. Well maybe something better than that, not that GSP are much more than a weed to some, they are a bit nicer to look at. So it is growing like GSP. We are sticking with 9 speakers and a frag demo, so 10 presentations. I have a LFS that is donating the coral...

Dr Foster and Smith sent me 6 buckets and the shipping was under $20 total. Based off of the cost not the weight. Plus they have sales on salt all the time.

My web guy just got Thales info so it might not be on the site yet, but check the 1st post, click were it says http://www.midwestfragfest.com If you are interested in being a fragger we still have a few deluxe spots left. What makes it deluxe is the 29-gal bio cube you take home with you...

Just wanted to share the GREAT news. Not only will Reefs.org be heading out to what may become the best event in the midwest, BUT Richard Ross will be a speaker at the event as well. The event currently has 8 booked speakers, a dozen paid fraggers, about the same in vendors and a raffle that is...

This is the factor that has me seriously looking at AWT. I have a local that works at a lab offering to test our clubs water for $20 a pop, 36 things (waiting to know what 36 things they are testing) But this seems like a 1 time deal. I am also going to contact AWT and see if they do group...

That's the truth. Some say slite blue, true blue blue hue. I need the 128 count box of crayons to figure some of these out. Rich, thanks for the numbers on the test kits, and the biggest seller here for me is actually doing the test. We all know it is important. I had about 2 months of weekly...

Interesting concept. I am wondering what the cost comparision is between using them and buying all the test kits that may or may not be accurate then you have to actually do the tests at home. Seems easier to drop a bottle off every week/month. I am thinking monthly doesn't provide quick enough...

Couple things here. First I would feed more than just 1 food item. Same with fish they should get a varied diet. Give it some pods of some sort, Reef Nutrition has Artic pods that my bubble loves. Next the bubble size. If I am clear the bubble is not shrinking, but it's bubbles are smaller. The...
