  1. +1 for Quarantine-practice safe reef keeping. Great thing about this seller is he does not bump up the contrast on his pics to make them look better than they really are- Sadly there are sellers here that practice those methods of deceptiveness-(flame)
  2. I have bought from these guys at least 6 times, its partly their fault my tank is as full as it is and my savings account is as low as it is- I've bought about 40+ pieces from them and everything is living, except the clam I killed
  3. Check this awesome looking scoly out. http://cgi.ebay.com/RE-INSANE-Aussie-Scolymia-Live-Coral-Reef-Empire_W0QQitemZ130353159176QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e59a75c08 (drooler)
  4. Last I saw he was swimming in his tank with coors light, he might have got drunk and drowned-(scary)
  5. He will most likely get it, if not PayPal will refund, but 1st thing I saw was "Hong Kong" and as general rule NEVER buy from anyone that is not shipping from the US. I've been doing eBay as a seller for nearly 5 years out of the 9 I've been there. I dont buy international and I never ship international-Trouble just waiting to happen-% wise if you are going to get burned its from an overseas seller-FYI I bought a used Marine Pinpoint PH monitor delivered for 35.00 a few weeks back-works great and I saw a few listed this morning. Good luck and be leary
  6. Good idea, I was talking to my wife about those in walls that have no access-good luck when the magfloat seperates while cleaning the glass-(laugh)
  7. Uhhh [language filter] are you guys saying-(laugh) I got lost at Wanna's second paragraph- Glad to see another Slysoft user-I just upgraded the HD version and cant wait for the CloneBD. That way I dont need to undestand what the heck you guys are saying-LOL If I want to spend a couple hours I could, but with the slysoft products I can focus on how to frag Xenia Thats a joke in case you thought I was serious-
  8. Its the best "free" route, you should check out that link I included, free 21 day trial and no waiting for new encryptions to be found. For movies with tons of graphics, burn to a DL disc, zero quality degradation AnyDVDHD and DVD Clone-works EVERY time!!!
  9. Quoted from OregonLive "a driving range of 100 miles between charges" Thats got to be a deal killer, are they targetting people who live in cities and dont go anywhere? Batteries....I was joking with someone about reducing my carbon footprint when my loaner/rental was a Prius, the Enterprise guy snapped back-"Ya if they new what to do with the batteries" I told him I was being sarcastic but I found it interesting- I will wait for the version that allows you to strap an Elk/Deer on the back and still have leg room. Nice looking though
  10. If I had new additions to my tank I would say that it is possible they were dying already. But I try to take an analytical approach and ask, what's new, what's different, what's changed and so on. Vodka was the only newest addition- Again, its works for more people than people it does not work for, many variables. I found something that got me to my goal, and does not require such a hands on (daily) approach. I understand you can miss a few days so you are not tied down to the tank, but in comparison, I don't do anything other than change some media every 6 months or so. Mine current method is fail safe and I have never seen one hint as to "this might be bad" I wish you and the "goal at hand" the best of luck, I just skin my cat differently- and my way does not work in everyone else's application, but it does in my tank Sorry Doc this is your thread-my apologies (backtotopic)(fishhit)
  11. Very nice! Are you doing the construction part yourself or contracted out? The wall I woud need to use at my place means I need to demo the fireplace in the L/R-(laugh) Wife is not going for it-YET Keep posting its coming alone nicely-I looks like you added the recessed ceiling light s as well-add some blue bulbs and wella giant moon lights-J/K
  12. I'm not bashing the process, sharing my results that were not positive-check out RS if you want more reading but........... You've read enough, and that's all we can do is read a bunch of results and see what the majority is doing. Like you found, dose on the safe side, twice a day is best, make sure your skimmer is good and working. I can only assume certain things ar more sensitive, clams I got to figure fall in that category. As long as it works for you that's all that matters. My goal in doing it was a reduction in NO3, my PO4 is already at .01-.02 thanks to my phosban reactor (I assume) and my NO3 is at 0-.01 thanks to the addition of purigen. What ever gets you to your goal is what matters. Like many things in this hobby there are multiple ways to achieve the same thing. I just found it strange that you did not find anybody report neg. results. I was over cautious, I think I read as well as made posts/threads on RS and 3Reef and maybe RC, anyway I looked into the "process" for almost 2 months before giving it a try. Just this thread alone myself and Impur lost clams, I also lost an angel that I have to attribute to dosing, my green leather toadstool never opened at all the entire week I did it-overall I could sense something was not right. You know the feeling, after doing this a while, you sometimes can tell by just looking at your tank if something is "out of balance" Anyway enough said, I hope your reach your goal, sounds like your on your way
  13. I will ask him if he is just out. It seems he is carrying the whole line but I looked it over thrice earlier today no MB-7. Thanks for the fast reply-I have been meaning to PM you about your Aquaripure, it was something I had done A LOT of reading on, but did not see anyone using it until I saw it in your sig.
  14. Where are you getting the MB7, I had actually looked for that today at SWF. Be interested in doing some reading on its benefits etc. Sure would love to see some pics. Its a good feeling when you get the levels that low huh? Congrats Pics pleeeez
  15. Man if I was motivated I would find the threads that I had read that had the "bad" stories-but I dont have a dog n this fight-anymore. For sure about 1 out of 9 bad- good odds, thats why I gave it a shot-It was only fish and a clam that died, leather stayed shut for a week and so on. I was only out 300.00 on a positive note I got a fifth of Vodka if I get thirsty-(naughty)
  16. Wow-you did not read enough-glad its working, how about some pics. Iread plenty of horro stories regarding Vodka dosing but Iknew I was better than all those idiots-(laugh) I can tell you Maximas clams dont like Vodka dosing ask Impur his and mine both died on day 7. Anyway every tank is different that I do know Pics please, I have one more clam I can try and kill!!! TIA
  17. Congrats! You know the expression-"A pictures worth a thousand words" So please post them up!!!
  18. 27.00 delivered to your door-Same unit I bought at a LFS for 35.00. http://cgi.ebay.com/HM-DUAL-DM-1-TDS-METER-REVERSE-OSMOSIS_W0QQitemZ300365944508QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSmall_Kitchen_Appliances_US?hash=item45ef3496bc Dont know why I stray away from my main hook up. Great meter tests water coming in and out
  19. free bump-If we were having those 100 degree plus days-the chiller would be gone-how soon those forget- Good luck-
  20. Oh no-evryone who comes by and has satwater will get one for visiting-LOL A LFS has to take em for 5.00 you'ld think. My first small frag I paid 15.00 from Upscales, now its 10x the size maybe more-It dwells in the "LPS' side of the reef-(laugh)
  21. Good idea-it was not so much the flow as the darn golden headed sleeper goby, burying everything, and me having to use the turkey baster to blow the fine layer of sand out and therefore disrupting any type of adhesion that had started- Love the hobby-LOL
  22. Please post a pic of the infamous "best Xenia in the state" I have not seen it B4-
  23. Flushing I think is soaking it, thats what I did and have to do. I have terrible water pressure in my house, my RO/DI worked for about 3 months and stopped, I thought the filters were plugged so I replaced them-DUMB Same story almost zero water coming out. I had to by a booster pump (eBay of course-my home away from home-(laugh)) Could not find one locally and I had to order stuff from this guy http://shop.ebay.com/h2o-science/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 Now that sucker fills my 35 gallon res. in 6 hours. You may need a booster, I think mine requires 35 pounds of pressure-how the heck you test that I dont know, I just know my pressure sucks-flush the toilet and the garden sprinkler nearly shuts down IMO-the valve on the waste line wont increase pressure-I would bet what you have is a pressure issue Good luck
