I use Aptasia-X. I think by "Red Sea" products http://www.marinedepot.com/Red_Sea_Aiptasia_X_2oz_(60mL)_Liquid_Pest_Control_Eliminators-Red_Sea-RS7911-FIADAFLC-vi.html David B.

I think i have a used mag 9 and 12. You could use a ball valve to dial back the flow where you want it. I will check tonight. David

Mag drive pumps are reliable. MAybe a mag 5 or 7. although the mag 7 might be too much flow for a 1" drilled overflow. David

I have an aquamedic light fixture. When ever I need a replacement part I just call them. So far I have needed 2 replacement glass sheilds. new ballast for the 2 T5 bulbs, New socket for the DE halide bulbs Thats about it. Which manufacturer built your unit? you could google it or call the supplier who sold it to get a number to call your manufacturer. David

WOW! Thats really neat. keep us posted. David

Hi, I just measured my Reef crystals parameters. Newly mixed saltwater with RO/DI water aged 2 days Salinity 1.026 Tetra Kit KH = 7.5-8.0 dkh Elos KH = 10.0 - 10.5 dkh Salifert KH = 10 dkh salifert magnesium = 1380.00 Elos CA = 470-480 David

I got some for you if you need it. I wouldn't use on screw on bulbs as the grease might be conductive causing a spark gap. I use it for double ended bulbs to help slide it into the contacts. David

Aren't brine shrimp living in briney water not full saltwater. David

My citron goby does the same thing. I am passed fustrated. I read info that it eats the mucos on SPS coral polyps. i can't catch him. David

Yes, Starbucks coffee is good.

Merry Christmas wamas! David

I have the pinpoint calibration solution packets in PH7 and PH10 but those are used for PH probe calibration. I don't understand why you would use PH calibrating solution for an ORP probe. David

I agree. mine went in the trash. David

When sanding there will be fine particulate dust every where. Wait until the floors are finished before you set up the new tank. My $.02 David

If you calibrate the LM3 every 2 months you will be presice dosing to the .01 litre per day. Also it does not dose all channels at the same time. which is good for 2 part because you are not to dose both parts at once. It will dose channel A, then B, Then C over a 24 hour period. if you want to dose 80 ml per day it will spread out the 80 ml slowly over the 24 hour period. Keeps the corals happier because parameters stay very steady. However there is a minimum it can dose when programmed. I believe its 40 ml to 60 I don't have the manual in front of me. David

If you have the cash the litremeter III is excellent. You can calibrate the pumps. I use a main pump and a slave pump. Storage of both parts are brosilicate glass containers from the container store. The programable main unit makes precise dosing easy. Heres a pick of my setup.

Please e-mail your contact info to me at: davjbeas@msn.com Thanks David

Can I get the mag 7, mag 12, Rio 2500, mag drive 5? I can be there saturday evening or sunday works also. Thanks, David

Can you put a cotton ball in the hole to muffle the sound? David

I found this on reef central. Order the 25 gallon size Order 30 of these and get free shipping(orders over $175 get free shipping.) I don't think they will charge extra shipping because this item is not tagged for extra shipping. If you order the 160 gallon size you will definately pay extra shipping. http://www.marinedepot.com/Instant_Ocean_R...35-FISM-vi.html David

I use the spectrapure liter meter III with a second unit. It is the most reliable pump system. I've tried the aquamedic dosing pumps and I don't think they are made as well as the spectrapure unit. This system doses a selected amount gradually over 24 hours. This keeps parameters steady. Also b-ionic recommends not addind both parts at the same time anyway. Main pump doses 1 part and the slave pump doses the other. Here is a picture. I use airline tubing to deliver the 2 part to the pumps and RO line to deliver to the the sump. I have 1 part going to one side of the sump and the other part going to the other side of the sump. I still have to dose MG 1 day a week. David

1.026 Specific gravity 78-80 degrees temp David

Heres a worm I had David

I always shut off the power to the heater during water changes. If the heater is on and not submersed It will get hot and when the water level goes back the glass will shatter. I keep mine in the sump. It just is laying on the sump bottom. Never had a problem. I think I will raise it up an inch though, for safety when I get home. David

Definately Aptasia - X from red sea. Will kill aptasia, majanos, shrooms also. Has 2 different style of syringe attachment. David
