    Live Aquaria is going out of business ?

    Not sure either haha, but clarified now above, since I was referring to how they treated livestock (allegedly) - I assume this was much different in the past where they seemed to have a better reputation.

    Where to buy MaxSpect rotor shafts?

    The 180s look interesting, but they seem to be only coming with a controller these days (ECP?). Unfortunately, they do not work with the Hydros ecosystem - Only Maxspect / Icecap and Octo Pulse do.

    Problem with Install - RO Unit for Drinking Water Install (including drain)

    This was the ICP test of my drinking water - filtered by a three-stage aquatic life system - I wonder how much the standard fridge filter take out :).

    Live Aquaria is going out of business ?

    Just for the avoidance of doubt, I fully agree that what seemed to have happened, if proven correct, seems very much fraudulent. I was thinking more about how it got to that point where a well-known business thought they needed to go down this path. Also, I am not sure if a business such as...

    Interesting article: Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of boxfish

    AI summary - in case you cannot access the link: Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a mathematical model that explains how the ornate boxfish—an Australian species decorated with intricate spots, stripes, and hexagons—develops its distinctive skin patterns. The...

    Where to buy MaxSpect rotor shafts?

    BRS saved the day :). I had the same issue and bought them while I was in Germany - same high price though. And I needed the newer type shafts. So far, I had actually only one shaft breaking up like that (used four of them simultaneously for a while). I continue to recommend to not use citric...

    Saltwater supplies - canister filters? Looks like you had several attempts already and I always try to do things differently if I am trying to get to a different outcome. But again, if you feel comfortable with your current shop to become successful, then there is no need to change I guess and...

    Live Aquaria is going out of business ?

    Looks like someone was very strapped for cash flow and had to be creative. Curious why this happened only now. Is this because if you are a small business doing a significant amount of business with a large business / Petco, you are being cash flow drained and constantly behind the curve...

    Anyone used this salt before?

    From 1998. They are doing a lab analysis on this. Will post once I get it.

    green algae

    Not sure if going to a freshwater store to get saltwater is something I would recommend. This is a nuanced hobby. Nuances matter. Both stores are 9 minutes apart from each other. Does not seem to be such a big difference to me. Most people in our club put a lot (!) of effort into this hobby to...

    green algae

    I do not know anything about this LFS in Oakland, but I know High Tide Aquatics. And I highly (!) recommend you buy your saltwater from Kenny / @under_water_ninja . He is selling actual ocean seawater (filtered) at a reasonable price. I believe he is selling RODI water too.

    Problem with Install - RO Unit for Drinking Water Install (including drain)

    I wanted to confirm something with the plumbing experts. Is it correct that I mount all of this (picture) on the pipe, and then drill through the opening a hole into the pipe?

    Anyone used this salt before?

    I know some folks here love some good nostalgia - anyone used this salt before?

    New Controllers from the AquaWiz builders - Super Brain Controller

    Red Sea is a red flag for me, but it looks like their dosing pumps are proprietary. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

    green algae

    I assume you tested your salinity - how did you test this? Where did you get your RODI water from and how exectly to do you make saltwater? Adding clean and correct saltwater (and RODI) to your tank is what matters the most. If this is not ensured, forget everything else (although I agree on...

    RSVP by 10/31 for the 11/2 SUNDAY frag swap in San Jose!

    I am only celebrating him when I get to enter this Elite sub-club :), which gets even more high end with the super-ulta swap - btw, @derek_SR does a CC Disney jr qualify? Seriously though, kudos to Derek and Vice Chair Tim!

    New Controllers from the AquaWiz builders - Super Brain Controller

    Overall, it is good for the controller market to get some competition. Paying 300 USD for a few controllable plugs (XP8), or the same amount for a decent doser (Sole), seems rather high, so I thought it was good to see a third alternative. The dosers on the AquaWiz are Kamoer, which I have not...

    [pending] Free snails

    I can take all of them, but happy if someone else wants them. I cannot pick them up until later evening today though.
