  1. If you open your own shop, you can then buy wholesale. Good luck.
  2. I hate packing, but for a little upcharge on the shipping fee, I will gladly help. Do you have recommendation for shipping method? UPS overnight? 5 day? Pony Express?
  3. No one wants to pay for old light bulbs. So these are free. No charge. Complimentary.
  4. This skimmer, in perfect shape, is still available.
  5. Still wondering if the carbon can be reused several times before it is depleted. Am I the only one so cheap that he does not want to throw away potentially useful media?
  6. That you all for the support. I am exploring your suggestions, and know I will figure it out.
  7. I am adding alkalinity solution every day in my 30 gallon mixed reef. The rocks and sand are very well established. Yet the calcium is staying high. I keep waiting for the calcium to start dropping in tandem with alkalinity so I can start up my calcium reactor. What gives?
  8. Wow, am I the only retired far*. Most of the jobs mentioned here did not exist when I got our of college back in the previous century.
  9. You are right. I wish someone would shut this guy down, or at least shut him up.
  10. Of course it cannot be reused after it is exhausted. If the carbon has a usable life of two weeks and I just use it for three days, can it be stored and used again?
  11. sorry for not updating. No longer need skimmer
  12. I am using a cheap shimmer powered by airstone. I asked the question since thought it was working more at night. N ow I am watching it more closely, and have tuned it a bit. Night action no longer an issue. Thanks for the responses.
  13. My skimmer does not seem to be working well during the day, but in the morning, it has spit up some foam into the cup. Is that normal, and does feeding affect it?
  14. Easy question: Can you reuse granulated carbon? Of course, it has a limited life, but I am talking about putting it in the sump for a few days, removing it for a week or so, then dropping it back in. Does it need to be kept wet, or should it be rinsed out with RO water between uses?
  15. this series continues to be interesting, and a bit intriguing. Should we be wondering which types of algae reactors/scrubbers grow hair algae?
  16. Thanks Exodus. Now it makes sense. But I think you meant to say Drop rather than Rain
  17. Bump-itis Last chance to unload excess gear from your closet. If there are no takers, I will have to give my children's Christmas present money to a cold impersonal retailer.
  18. From what my earlier research showed me, SPS numbers can be from 250 to 450. But I am an SPS newbie and have no actual results to back this up.
  19. Yes, I went through this issue early this year. It could be informative for Manny to review my thread "MQ 520 is not a PAR meter, right" started on April 7th. Bottom line is that the numbers that the meter is reading are, for all intents and purposes, equivalent to PAR. It took me several hours and dozens of reading to finally get the hang of the meter. It ends up being quite easy to use. You will see that moving the meter just a couple of inches can change the PAR significantly.
  20. I don't understand how your selection chart works. I have a 30 gallon tank and your chart tells me that you recommend ten different products. How does that help me select which one to buy?
  21. Is the first photo the favia? If so, what is the second photo?
  22. My Hydor slim skim went bye bye. Needed a skimmer for 30 gallon all in one. JBJ rimmless, but probably many models will work. You name the fair price. Even better, used Hydor that still works. Can also use a hang-on back for other 30 gallon tank.
  23. Hey Emerald, one of the best (lightweight) movies ever!
