Thank you very much! I just got off the phone with the manufacture and they verified this also. Thanks again! Lee

No one?

Does anyone know if the Medusa dual stage controller has some type of backup in case of a power failure? I know the Aqualogic controller has a "memory" to keep the set points after a power failure but can find no information like this for the Medusa. Thanks, L.

I have a 110 also that is built into one of my walls. I use a Mak 4 for return (it has two ball valves, one going to each return to the tank which are "throttled back" slightly) I use an Iwaki 30 RLXT for my ev200 skimmer. I also use a converted wet/dry as a 30 gallon sump,(am planning to...

CHNS, That's interesting! I originally started out with a 55 gallon reef and had just small spots of HA that critters would get rid of quickly.It had about a 2" arragonite substrate. When I built the 110 up I used southdown at about a 4-5" depth and after about 3-4 months have not been able to...

All right, here's what I'm going to try. Add a second chamber to my Ca. reactor to boost alk. and Ph. and add a controller to the Co2. I'd like to hear any recomendations/comments etc. to this before we yet again spend more $$ to get rid of this algae prob. Thanks in advance!! L.

Interesting?? Thanks again, you are starting to get me thinking. I do have sps and zenia, and about every two weeks to three weeks I have to take out huge sections of the zenia to keep it from overtaking the tank. On the other hand the sps grows slower that I think it should be growing. So...

Hey everyone, just got online and was reading all the responses. Lets see, I change this much water out because of the hair algae, wait ,wait...I use a "powered" toothbrush with a hose attached to it so as the brush scrubs the rock,glass etc. clean all the "crap" goes right down the drain and I...

I have 4 mythrix/emerald in the tank which are rather large but they don't seem to touch the stuff. Maybe I could add more? Like ....20 for a short time to see what happens?????

Hey everyone, long time no see! Well I'm at my wits end with hair algae! I have a 110 oceanic RR, 4"dsb, 200lbs. LR. Tank has been running for over three years and I have been fighting hair algae for at least three of these last years! I've done everything possible and within two weeks it's...

Noticed a baby Banggai swimming in my zenia and quickly scooped him into my prop tank, did not see any more till I looked into my overflows and there were 2 more. Is there any way to get more out of the tank before they all become dinner? Some kind of trap, "wild call"(lol), or anything? Or do I...

Does anyone have one of these? Or does anyone have more info. than the oceanic site has. They just have pictures and that's about it. Does anyone know the pros and cons of this setup? It looks pretty interesting and I am thinking about getting one but would like some more information on it...

I use the Geo marine florida crushed coral by Carib sea. Have no problems and keeps my Ca and alk. perfect.

Thanks for the comments. I've got thousands of bags in all shapes and sizes. Just looking for a more efficient/quicker way to keep them sealed. Oxygen always seems to get out when I tie my knots in the bags...... E-tropicals sent me an order today and they had used a "thermal" sealer on the...

I'm looking for shipping bags for fish and corals. Mainly the little metal "rings" to seal them with. I already know about Aquatic Eco-systems. I got their "sealing tool" and the rubber bands that were suposed to seal the bags but all they did was "pop off" Anyone know where I can find the metal...
