Just want to provide an update. I IM'd neptune last night via their facebook site, and they got back to me within 5 minutes. It was 11:30 at night....probably, got lucky, but still was very nice of them to respond. It wasn't a one word answer either and they seemed very willing to discuss...

I do the same. I am very much a beginner, and am still learning but I would add the following that I have learned: Turn down blue and violet light as much as you can without significantly affecting the color of the corals. The sensor doesn't need PAR and the extra blue light just further...

My advice would be to purchase a used inexpensive SLR made in the last 5 yrs from canon, Nikon or sony that is capable of live view. Anything in the last 5 years should result in decent lack of noise at higher ISO. Purchase a macro lens, can be used, and not the camera manufacturer. Most...

I don't mind the chemistry bit, the part I mind is DIY work part. Looking for the easiest and “lasting” solution I can find. Biggest disadvantage of the tropic Marin stuff is the cost. On a 7g tank it is pretty insignifican. Appreciate the response though....I may just get some small...

BRS and MD are both out of stock online. Premium Aquatics has it but shipping options aren’t great. (and doing daily water changes to keep alk up is getting old...haha. Not horrible, since it is only a 7g tank, but old never the less.

I wasn’t looking for salt just for their “all for reef” essential minerals two-part. (It’s actually 1 part.) Realized my alk has been low for awhile and read some good things about this. Thought it could be an easy solution requiring only one pump for a small nano, rather than dosing two...

yeah, going in there for fresh water stuff, years and years ago, and seeing all the reef stuff is what sparked my interest even though I waited until this year to start a reef tank.

I know they have a great reputation, just havent been able to make it down there given the distance. With that said, I don’t have any great options less than 30-45 minutes away anymore since aquarium concepts in dublin closed.

Just looked at their FB page again....never been there and it looks like a really great shop. Gonna try to get down there tomorrow.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the reply.

Their website doesn't list a phone number and states they no longer support phone calls. They have a web form to fill out instead, which I have never received a reply on.

Does anybody know if Neptune carries Tropic Marin's All for Reef? (looks like they are a tropic marin dealer) If they do I would drive down but hard to justify gas just to go see. Thx
