I ordered some zeobac and it was expired, the company I ordered from was nice enough to replace the bottle with a new one and I did not need to send the original back. So I used it until the new bottle showed up and now have two. I ordered ZeoStart2 and then ZeoStart3 came out, so I...

Made a little instructional video: Weigh out the GAC and GFO using a digital scale. Mix outside or in a well ventilated area and wear a mask to avoid the harmful dust of the carbon and iron oxide. Once weighed and bagged wash and soak in RO/DI water. Disclaimer: It is not recommended...

Ok, after reading this article I'm sold. This article does a great job of explaining exactly what is going on so far as what is known. I ordered ZEOfood 7, ZEObak and ZEOstart 2. Hopefully its not as complicated as it sounds with the dosing schedule. If I had a bigger tank I would use a...

I just read in the latest digital issue of Coral Magazine about tank bred Berghia and how they are great Aiptasia controllers. Has anyone used these and why are they not more popular? Seem better than copperband butterflies and peppermint shrimp. You can order them online from an...

Tomorrow is a spare the air day for the bay area. Since we are a group of environmentally conscience reefkeepers I thought we could do a little bit to help. I am going to leave my metal halide off for the day, this will reduce not only the energy used for the light but also the chiller. And on...

I'm gonna redo my overflow. Currently I am using a 2" PVC pipe with holes drilled in the top for the overflow. I want to redo it and cut slots in the top. I tried a dremel but it only melted the plastic. I'm thinking a bandsaw is what I need to use. Does anyone have any recommendations for...

I am going to be loaning my darwin clown pair to my friend with his 55g tank that currently has no fish. I will be getting them back when I get my next bigger tank. I'm tired of them only swimming in the corner. I will have left a snippy sixline wrasse and a neon goby. I would like to get a...

Does anyone use full arm gloves when working in their tank? I do because if I reach in the tank bare handed the oils from my skin make the skimmer overflow. Do those of you with bigger tanks notice this or not because of the water volume difference. The gloves I use are from Sam's animal feed...
