I have dealt with them on and off for the past three years. They are disorganized and hard to deal with. The invoices often have errors and they won't give you credit for items they charged for but did not ship. They offer to credit for DOAs but it never shows up on your next bill. The Florida &...

We met at MACNA in Orlando but I guess you didn't recognize the name, as common as it is. I also sent you a PM at Reefadicts and never got a response so I assumed you were playing hard to get :) Next time it will be n Texas soil... you don't have that either do you? :)

The Rk2 25 PE uses freshwater (line pressure) to wash the skimmer and is independent of the pumps. It has a few spray nozzles and a garden-style timer & solenoid combo. In other words, a $100 shopping spree at Home Depot for $1,100.00. I bought a Clearwater CD10/AD ozonizer (thanks for the...

Ctenophore was very reasonable and of great help. Thanks again.

Sounds good. Pm me some HH NW pricing and delivery window.

Thanks for the info. I took a closer look at the feed pump today, and I was mistaken it isn't a Lifeguard 3/4 HP. It appears to be a Hammerhead with a 1/4 HP Baldor motor, rather than the standard 1/3 HP Baldor. I don't know what it puts out, but it must be way over the 1500 GPH maximum they...

Are there any updates. I'm looking at moding an RK2 25 PE. Is the hammerhead NW available now? What size air intake port are you tapping into the intake? What kind of valve will give me good control of air intake? Are the seals holding up to ozone? Is there a NW feed pump I could use and...

Coral wholesalers are getting extremely aggressive in their sales departments. Not so long ago, a big company would have a warehouse full of workers packing orders and a small handful of sales people sending out weekly stock lists by fax or email. With the slow market situation and increased...

I assume you have a powerful chiller, because the waters there are much colder than your typical Sea of Cortez temperate marine aquarium. I'm sure you are required to have a collectors license, and there isn't a hell of a lot there. Some file fish and a few crabs, urchins, starfish and scallops...

Hopefully they have resolved their packing issues. Nothing like a 75 pound non-wax cardboard box full of wet lettuce rock (Agaricia tenuifolia). Thanks for your persistence.

Ozone is a great oxidizer for overall water quality, but UV irradiation is a more efficient disinfectant and easier to dose in a commercial system where a 100% kill ratio is desired. Ozone is better suited for a public aquarium facility where livestock have already been quarantined. The...

Tourism is the only avenue for coral farms in Sri Lanka at this point in time, as they won't grant export permits even for propagated specimens.

The Stonogobiops were still in the betta-like shipping bags after three weeks. They were overlooked while unpacking was carried out in the dark. Speaking of which, photo-shock is another huge oversight that needs to be corrected in the chain of custody, particularly in the retail sector...

You forgot the "and tonic" part of "Mr. Wilson's Miracle Elixer & Tonic". Yes, I was joking about the name, but snake oil tactics seem to work better than honesty these days. I'm still trying to figure out how they got Dr. Nelson Herwig to endorse the Eco Aqualizer? Were your tests using...
