The new range of GAC that has hit the market that is comparable to the more expensive Seachem GAC (which I have been using for the past few years) is Reefez GAC, which I am now switching to! You can order Reefez Carbon Plus right here in SRC!! - hope you'll support SRC by buying it from here! AT

LOL! Duckbill! That's what you call it? Looks like you have to open up its bill a little more.. or there will be too much backpressure!

I doubt if the Ocean Free carbon is even considered medium grade. They are known for cheap products but if you're on a very tight budget, they will do. Proper usage would be to use small quantities that you change out weekly rather than to soak a large quantity for very long periods as carbon works very quickly and efficiently within the few hours and this continues on with diminishing returns over the next few days. By the end of the first week, the carbon should be saturated and by then, the pores of the carbon pieces may have also been quite covered by detritus and slime, affecting its effectiveness. Leaving the carbon for long periods (a month and longer) is thus senseless and you may even see a leaching of absorbed stuff back into the water as the carbon breaks down. Too many reefers don't realise this and use carbon inappropriately.

http://www.orpheusdive.com Just tell Lester you're from SRC and I referred you!

Done! Notice anything different? I can do just about anything... I'm a real Tang.

Go with Orpheus Dive, they know the Perhentian people very well.... I stayed in Flora Bay the last time.

A bit difficult to sell it in SRC... try the freshwater forums in Arofanatics and Aquarealms. Top filters are unsuitable for marine that's why.

Fishbase.org anthia links. You can't go wrong with the leading research authority on marine species.

Like I said... he or the book editor got it all wrong. None of my fish ID books have placed the dispars, bartletts, purple queens under that mirolabrithys genus. They are all under the Pseudnathias genus. Isn't your nickname Dispar_anthias... or is that in your IC? You're quite clueless today huh?

Let me guess.. from T95?

Richard Branson's gonna be crossing the English Channel in this car! Yahoo link to this story with photos

Once the food has soaked up enough water... it'll sink.

How come Princess is having your dKH buffer? hmmm...

Nah my firewall has a setting to activate ad blocking. No wonder my PM box never pops up when I am home! I am spending time now looking at all the animated gifs in this forum... hahahaha!

Kenji. If you want to incorporate a DSB in your sump. Take sure that its in a compartment which is flatbottomed and water does NOT flow thru the sandbed (eg. from the top to bottom or vice versa). Water must only flow above the DSB.

Thanks Vinoth for highlighting that! Moving out to the New to the Hobby section.

Doctor Burgess studies fish diseases... he probably mislabeled Pseudanthias dispar under this 'mirolabricthys' wrongly, anyway... so don't follow the blind! If you still insist on being under mirolabrithys label... I can always change your nickname!

Well, get updated then, little fish! Anyway, the SRC Secret Service will be banging on your door soon to bring you away for some torture interrogation, I mean, some simple questioning, at our Gulag, I mean, station.

Yes... and its quite obscene. Tanzy... pls change your avatar!!

Are you a new species, DA? There is no such genus & species of anthias!

Here's the link

Guess what guys... it could be your firewall. I deactivated my firewall.. and now all gifs are animating.

Mine is checked too... but still no animated gifs.

Yup! You got it! IMO. in order of effectiveness vs cost of running (to remove dissolved pollutants in a reef tank). 1. Skimmer (good ones from Germany/US/UK and not the cheap Taiwanese/China ones). 2. GAC 3. Polyfilters 4. Small water changes
