Yeah, that's the one, she (he?) is the official pet around here. Definitely bring your camera next time.

I rang you up, and Glen helped you with the snails. A smaill tang won't be a problem, I'll let you know what comes in. We do have a small desjardinii, ok so he's about 10" and fat. :D Cory

John, I work at PA, but I live in the Irvington area. That's how I knew you were in the market. I'll let you know if we get one next week. Cory

Very nice pics John. Did you purchase the tusk in the picture?

It should be fine via USPS. It's like a weed, hard to kill. The only concern I would have is cold weather if it's coming from the North. Cory

The teeth will restrict flow, but it's my understanding the 1" bulkheads will only handle 700 GPH in this situation. You might verify this with AGA. The MAG1800 will still do the job, but you may have to throttle it back a bit with a ball valve. You might want to check out this article if you...

I believe you are on the right track, but I thought that tank had 1" bulkheads for the overflows. If so the flow would be reduced to 700GPH per overflow. Cory

I'm sure Marine Depot can get you setup.

Reefstar, IMO, the 28W PCs aren't enough for your application. Especially if you are considering using 6500K Iwasakis as your MH bulbs. Have you considered one of PFOs hoods instead of the pendants? This way you could utilize VHO actinics and it might even be cheaper. Cory

Remove the strainer from the intake side of the pump. Insert the basket from the venturi kit into the pump. Insert the red nipple into the center of the basket. Connect the airline to the red nipple. The output side of the pump should slip right on the skimmer. Make sure the other end of...

Based on your description, I'd say you have the turbo version. Your bio-load should be large enough that the collection cup should definitely be filling up with something on a regular basis. Do you see a lot of air bubbles in the column of the skimmer? I've heard of the turbo pumps having...

Hi USMC81, Is this a new unit? How long has it been running on your tank? How long has the tank been setup, do you have a lot of fish/coral? Which pump is running the skimmer? Cory

clamlvr: I believe the IceCap ballasts have problems with the Radium bulbs. If you want an electronic ballast for the Radiums I'd wait for the E-Ballast. If you choose to run 10Ks, I'd vote for IceCap. IME, the PFO HQI ballast does not have a noise problem. I ditto Chance_11's opinion of...

I have used a couple of methods with my Kenya's offspring. I have dropped the offspring into some empty shells (Mexican Turbo) and set them in low current areas until they attach. I have also used Zap Gel and also set them in low current areas. The first method is the easiest, but I don't...
