ha ha ha. That was my wife's first question "Uhhh...that container is not used is it?".

Thanks again to both of you! Merry Christmas.

I'm with snowpunk - sounds like pineapple sponges. A good thing.

Shizzle, if you do freshwater planted tanks let me know as I have some good fertilizers I don't need any more, as well as a 'bubble ladder' for disolving Co2. Free for the taking!

Kim was nice enough to drop off some Reef Chili for me today. I'd like to shout out a big THANK YOU to Kim. Very nice of you to do this for me (rock2)

I quit using salt in a bucket due to the fact that it is hard to mix the salt before using. I got towards the end of a bucket and my Mg went thru the roof - it had all settled towards the bottom 2/3 of the bucket.

Glad to have you here. Post up all the questions you like, people are always willing to help here.

Awesome news! Kids are great until they turn into Teenagers! ha ha ha

Congratualations from one Dad to another.

this is the newer version of what we have :

I think my wife picked ours up at Costco - it has a full keyboard, nice little unit.

I have been using gettanked for a good 6 months now. Love the high values and the fact that I can add as little or much Ca as needed for each water change.

I'll take a look at the one my wife got tonight. I have found that labeling everything has been a lifesaver a few times, especially when I have to unplug things from my RKE and re-program or do any maintenance on it.

Both RKE and RKL are awesome systems. You would have to pry my RKE out of my cold dead hands

I thought you were zoalander (scratch)

ha ha ha! Excellent.

Frank, let me know if you need any help. I will be around all weekend and NOT working! Besides, I need to pick that frag up from you.

so what....it just flickers the lights on and off? Heck, pull the plug a few times. ha ha ha

Heck, lets just start another forum named 'DQ' - drama queen. Anyone who wants to complain or stir the pot can just do so in there. This way we can all get on with our reefing questions/issues and topics.

You learn to ignore the drama after a while. There is a lot of good info here, just have to wade thru the cr*p.

I have had a variety of colors - greeen being one of them. If I recall it is a light green - 'seafoam' green

Mark if you want to try it out I have a big jar of the stuff that lasts forever. I could just give some to try out.

Kim, that would be awesome....I can trade a frag with ya for some. Just let me know when. Thanks.

OK, besides Oyster feast and ROd's food - what do you guys feed the corals?

I was thinking about supplimenting my regular coral feeding (Oyster feast) with some reef chili. Anyone tried it, and anyone know who carries it locally?

Thanks!

Stay away from Instant ocean if you keep corals. Go with a prooven salt, and there are plenty out there. Tropic marin pro is good, as is Kent. My preference is GetTanked salt. Best levels and consistency I have ever had, but a bit more spendy than everything else.

+1 on elos or salifert. They are all I use anymore!

Sent my SID in today. Hopefully have it for next weekend. Harold, the signature box is not tough really.

check out www.reefchat.org and go to extras - signature generator. If you need any help let me know!

Thanks for the info Harold. I will probably send in my SID this week - then over the holidays I can spend the time updgrading. Re-programming for all I do witht the RKE takes some time as I utilize a number of it's functions. Great controller no doubt and I'm thinking the new software will certianly make it way better!

Harold, have you updated your SID to 2.0 yet? Looks like that is a requirement. I think we can send them in and they will be upgraded for free.
