I've been using this water for a year now, without any complications that I can see. Everything is healthy and growing quickly.

It's past the 45 days that ebay/paypal back you. Sadly I'm stuck with a 3 stage water purifier, and no RO. :( Can I use this water? It takes the chlorine out ad such, reduces the ppm slightly as well. I'd like to use it for a bit while I decide what I am going to do next. Thanks.

I purchased what I thought was an RO unit on ebay. The item title and description both state this is a RO unit. when I contacted the seller to supply new filters, he stated he sold me a purifier, not an RO unit. And he sells everything as "RO" because that's what people are looking for, but in...

I like the two spot (or twin spot) not very colorful, but unique. I've had zero luck with gobies, they jump or go MIA after a few weeks. I was very happy with the twin spot, he didn't move as much sand as my diamond did, but he did work away and looked neat doing it.

I lose more hermits this way... I have a pic of mine carrying around a frag of GSP. He's always got something on his head. I can't even use my sea weed clip anymore as soon as my urchin notices it he carries it away.

Thanks for the responses. I figured as much, but every time I buy them they're in full lighting and thriving. We'll see what happens...

I've had almost no luck with anything blue in my tank... I added a frag of blue clove polyps 6-8 months ago, that dies off slowly, but are coming back slowly. Recently I added blue zoa's about a month or two back that never opened up and slowly disintegrated. Two weeks ago I was picked up...

He must have crawled out and at least 20 feet to his final resting place. This just proves that me being lazy pays off! lol

I've had a crazy little crab in my reef tank for a few months now. I assume it came tucked inside piece of LR. I could rarely get a good glimpse of him, late at night after the lights were out I might see him, about the size of a quarter, pointed claws, brown with black striping and hairy legs...

Check out the Oakville Reef Gallery in Oakville, ON. Oakville Reef Gallery - Home My first impressions was they were expensive, but after looking around I bought from them, and honestly the quality and size of each coral is worth the price. They typically do 3/$100. You won't be disappointed...

I have something similar to the ones on the right. Mine have florescent orange specs under actinic lighting. I was told they're called a mohawk polyp, and can be rare. Not sure how true this is, but they've been selling quickly by a local frag place at $5 for 2 polyps.

Mine look like that when they're getting nipped at by my tang.

There are a number of vendors in the Toronto area that ship across Canada. The reason US vendors do not ship to Canada is because it is illegal to import corals, and fish and other items into the country. I believe they even limit the amount of LR coming into the country, according to my...

I picked up a Mexican turbo snail to solve my problem. He is a lawnmower. I highly recommend these guys. My other black turbo's don't touch the long stuff, but the Mexican does. I learned the hardway how quickly this stuff spreads. I places a small piece of LR with some Xenia on it and some...

I was able to keep mine. I fished him out and put him in QT for 8 weeks. Now he's the least aggressive of all of my fish. Honestly, though this breed is very aggressive in the ocean as well. I've been attacked several times snorkeling.
