thank you all for the replies I shall keep to the Hanna, so far all my other tests match (with in 5%) it's just the nitrate that was way off. As for the dragonette. I know it is pretty, but I also know my tank is not mature enough.... It is convincing the wife :p

So last week I decided to get a Hanna HR Nitrate checker. My Nyos kit is easy enough to use, but the color differences is crazy. 12 is one color and the next is 25. So any color in between those two is an educated guess. I have used it three times and gotten test results of 8 - 8.8 Nitrates on...

We picked up an AI blade freshwater yesterday. So far she loves it, the Mobius app not so much, but the light is so much more powerful than the fluval. Her tank is 30 wide 14 deep and 24 tall. It is odd sized.

Wednesday night my wife did an OTA update to her Fluval 4.0 Plant and it bricked. We have tried everything to get this light working again, and it will just not respond. We have had the light for 4 weeks, and luckily the seller is allowing us to return it. BTW Fluval's customer support sucks...

might want to find yourself a nice little gas powered generator on FB market place. My sister used a Honda EU1000 for her 180 gallon. It is silent as mouse.

and now some corals! The clowns saw me, and had to be in the picture.

my current wave maker is either a Fluval or small Sicce, and there is a cord in the tank. So no worries there. My wife is starting to accept that our reef tank has a couple cords showing and the skimmer cup is quite visible as it sticks up like sore thumb from the back of the tank.

My wife is absolutely in love with my 32 biocube even though it only has the two clowns. The clowns have so much more personality than her tetras. So seeing as Petco has all their tanks 50% off she is seriously thinking about getting an Imaginarium 60 gallon breeder tank (not as tall, but...

Thank you, yes I am trying to stay under the $300 price range, as some of the corals we are looking at can be quite pricey for bigger frags.

So in the near future I would like to replace the power head on my 32 gallon biocube. It works, but has no adjustable flow rate. I would like to get something that pulses or will mimic ocean currents. I might be asking for too much as I know the tank is only 32 gallons, and the flow from the...

Very nice.

A couple updates. I did a 10% water change over the weekend with my own water. Saw a noticeable drop in phosphates which nice. And second update is we picked up a pair of Snowflake Clownfish. I drip acclimated them each for about a hour. They are getting TDO and LRS Reef Frenzy.
