I agree that the trade needs to be regulated, but I want to throw this out there. A couple months back when California was outlawing Caulerpa in their state the reef community made a huge fuss about it and eventually (i believe) the bill was thrown out. What do you think would happen if they...

It sounds to me like Nathan has some issues with people that believe in evolution. I think if you reread the post it says that anemones will survive on just lighting, but to do well need to be fed. This may be indirect or direct. I also think Dr. Ron provides a invaluable service to these...

Please don't listen to the last post. DSB's preform a great survice to your tank. They are relatively maintenance free and cheap(if you use SD). As for the rumor that they will release the poisonous gas(i think hydorgen sulfide), that is not true. If you have the critters to sift the DSB you...

Hello everyone, I am looking for PVC parts, especially check valves and bulkhead fittings. I can get all the other good stuff at Home Depot but I need a good place to get these. I see they have them in the Pet Wharehouse catalog, but I would like a little bigger selection. Anyone have a...

Anthony, Thank you for all you've done. I was moved by your post. You have said all the right things. It pains me to hear everyone say that they do not want innocent lives taken in our retaliation, but they have started a WAR by taking our innocent lives and like in any WAR innocent lives are...

I only have RO, no DI. So everyone thinks it will be alright if its before the RO unit. Mine is before. I think the people that have successful reefs use RO water. Anyone that uses tap water with no filtration is asking for trouble. I couldn't find plastic valves. I got this one at Home...

Let me clear up my post a little. I have no ill will towards anyone that is not related to this tragedy. I respect the many religions of the world and believe that is one of the great aspects of it( the diversity). My hatred is directed towards the people responsible for this and ANYONE that...

I am as shocked and outraged as the rest of the people in the world today about what happened. This may be my anger speaking but I will vent and probably be flamed, but what the hell. Everyone talks about innocent people being killed and how this shouldn't happen. I agree with this fact for...

I recently put a brass valve on my RO unit. I am now worried that this might leach copper and zinc into my system. Does anyone know if this is true or not. Thanks Scott

FWIW, The ground and the neutral are bonded in the first panel from your service lateral. So if your ground and neutral are reversed in would essentially do the same thing. Regardless of that fact you should not get shocked from either. Espeicially with sandels on (unless you were on your...

If you are coming up 95 which I think you would going from Ga to Pa. There is plenty of SD in the washington DC area. You could stop by and pick it up on the way back. There are 2 stores I know of specifically, but i've heard there are more. one is in Annandale Va, and the other is in...

I lose about 1-2 gallons per day depending on humidity. I wouldn't worry about you temp. If you read Dr. Ron's forum he says that the average reef temp around the world is 82-84 degrees. Don't quote me on that but mine stays around 83 and I know that was close to his figures. Plus I tend to...
