I don't have time to mix salt with how crazy life is between family and work travel :(.

I have always had salinity mix up cloudy. No mater how fast or slow I add it. I mix it up in 900 gallon batches and it just never seems to clear up even if I leave it for a week. I think I am up for trying something different. Anyone know a place to get a good price on 24-36 buckets? Thanks.

Hey guys what are you using now a days for salt. I just finished up the 1-1/2 pallet order I did a few years ago of aquavitro salinity. It's a decent salt but a pain to mix up. I used to buy from a guy out of south San Francisco but it looks like he is no longer around. Where can I find a deal...

Thanks for the info guys. I ended up just ordering http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150951144068&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1120 as they were stainless steel based off of JAR's comment about rusting. Not as nice and simple as the push to adjust but I could not find anything like...

Anyone want to go in with me on an order from Griplock Systems? They make the adjustable aircraft cable hooks. I am looking at picking up these for my new LED build for my 600g tank. They have a $100 minimum order and the ones I want are only $4.18 each and I only need 16 of them. Let me...

I just got mail bombed with about with about 30 thread subscription email notifications and all of the latest posts seem to be from mid June. Is the site running so slow things got plugged up?

Thats nothing. Try a pissed off 12" Clown Trigger. Yours is just a flesh wound. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra_cUTmQykc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3JoudOagk&feature=related

I use Profilux stand alone dosers and while its not the same as their controllers they have been rock solid and their support has been great. So +1 on them as a company. Thanks

We went in October and stayed at the Drury Inn in Flagstaff. It was real reasonable in price and they have a nice hot breakfast in the morning. Great for kids. We stayed two nights there. One day we did Sedona which is about an hour from Flagstaff and the next day we did the South Rim of the...

While that is another option I highly prefer the simplicity and reliability of an industrial grade thermostat like the ranco vs a more complex multi purpose device like a reef keeper.

If possible I would spend a little more and buy a single stage ranco controller. Etcsupply.com is about as cheap as they come. Then pickup two 150 watt heaters This way you will have some redundancy incase a heater fails and will have a rock solid thermostat to make sure you do not cook the...

Looks cool but HT* would you clean it?

Anyone thinking of heading out the next few days if we get some snow to get some pictures around the bay area. Trying to think of a few locations that I could get some interesting pictures if we really do get some low level snow.

Smallparts.com is a great resource for Nylon and Stainless steel bolts, nuts and wing nuts. They also have a great selection of metric fasteners http://www.smallparts.com/small-parts-nylon-wing-nut/dp/B003SLDL4K/ref=sr_1_2?sr=1-2&qid=1297409204&filterBy.material_browse=43805011 I think they...
