"eco-aqualizer" has anyone used this rather new product ? What were its
results? It goes on line from sump,wet-dry,canister,powerhead ect. and uses
ionic energy by electromagnetic physics and FAR infrared radiation to
produce remarkable results and rduce water changes by 50%. Fresh ...

I've used several different kinds of protein skimmers and I've never
been completely happy with any of them.
I don't like the fact that almost all the venturi or bio-ball skimmers
(the ones that depend on pressure/flow to create the small bubbles) use

Hello all... received my Aquatec 8800 RO booster pump on Thursday.
Yippee ! But there were no installation instructions with it, so I was
going to  a.s_U_ME that the pump is installed between the carbon and
the RO, but then thought I'd ask you guys first. Should it go there,

Can you take a look at these and let me know if they are worth it or
not?   A guy in our club was considering buying one, and I figured you'd
know the score.

Anyone here ever use this stuff before?
It came recommended as the best....
The instructions say it "might" turn the water a little brown but it would
disappear quickly.

My nitrate test kit says to wait five minutes before comparing the
colour against the chart. I assume usually this would be for the
colour to develop and if anything, show a higher reading (and
stabilise). However I've noticed that after the five minutes I get a

Hiya
I have a question.  Right now my 45 gallon reef just has one inhabitant
a clown fish.  I plan on moving the tank in the next 3 weeks and was
wondering if this might make the move easier in regards to tank cycling.

I've been having great success with this protein skimmer until a few weeks
ago.
It does not seem to be producing as many bubbles now, and certainly not as
much "stuff" in the collection area. I have removed the pump, opened and

I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with the jebo protein
skimmers. They seem cheap compared to other skimmers.

   I need a good pump for sump return for a new 180g FOWLR. The tank is not
set up yet but I'd like to get all the pieces before making the change from
the 60g. I'm currently using a mag7 for return on the 60g. The old tank will
be my new sump.

Hi Guys...
I've had this blue (or maybe aqua colored) or gelatinous stuff growing
in my tank since... forever - 18 months anyway. It was dime sized, but
now it's spreading over some of my green star polyps and I'm thinking

I am in the proccess of constructing a canopy for my 75gal reef so I can add
my MH bulbs.
Due to a mis calculation, my lights are going to be 8 to 9 inches from the
surface of the water.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I replied to your posts on my
message board. I'd not checked it in a long time.

Hi, I got a small cuttling of kenya tree or colt coral today
from my friend. The frag is small, about 1" cut from its tree
crown - I placed it in a small containter with bubbling water
and I am not sure what exactly should I do with it...
