any nutriwater in stock yet?

I am using RODI water and I use Elos test kits...don't believe that they're expired but I will double-check. Thanks for the link!

Hey thanks, that's good advice. I never knew that there was anything to clean the tubes, I'll check out petland. Per my previous post...'trates may indeed be the problem.

I've had the problem pretty much since the day I set up the system. I changed filter socks often, and have recently (last several months) not used one at all. The tank is about 16 months seasoned. Nitrates are slightly elevated, everything else is in normal range...I'll post actual numbers...

I've searched high and low for the answer to this question, so apologies if it has been asked and answered. Every tube in my system (from pumps to reactor, return line, from skimmer, etc) has turned from clear silicone to sort of an orange color. Worse, every time I turn the pumps off for...

Poop? Hmm, I've never heard of that. I would've thought it would come from the mouth. Anyway, I have been feeding it Ultra LPS Grow + Color Marine Particles by Fauna Marin. It was recommended to me by Manhattan Aquariums. I have had my hands in the tank more than normal lately in an...

This scoly has been fine since I got him about six months ago. Recently it has shrunk considerably, and today I noticed what appears to be a part of its skeleton sticking through the skin (see picture). Nothing in the tank has changed -- no new additions, water parameters are the same as they...

Can you please help me ID this orange thing that is slowly growing out of a piece of live rock? It's between the snail and the chiton in this picture. Thanks!

Does anyone know what this round thing is? It has feather-like things coming out of the top during the day. Looking down from the top, there is a hole in the center of it (can't get a picture from that angle). I didn't put it in the tank, and it has been growing pretty quickly. Seems to have...

I've been dosing 2-part (B-Ionic) for a month or so via a Profilux doser. The end of one of the tubes is becoming encrusted with a white gunk (calcium, presumably). Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? The tubes terminate about an inch above the water level in the sump, though they...

Gone -- thanks all

Downtown Manhattan.

Received a fighting conch today which is too big for my tank. It's approximately 3-4 inches. I'm in Battery Park City. First come, only served.

I'm in Manhattan, looking to buy a PIII. Thanks.
