    Building My 1600 and Basement Setup

    You did a job everyone should be jealous. It looks like you had alot of thought put into this before the initial build. I imagine it looks much nicer in person

    Lack of Contact

    Good news, I recieved an email today from Tyler saying my filters had just arrived and would be sent out. I know with our electrical equipment we are having problems finding anyplace that keeps parts in stock and are having to wait for some pieces from factory (which isn't keeping stock) so we...

    Lack of Contact

    Original order was placed in June by Credit Card but they were to contact me so I went ahead and cancelled that order and sent it by pay pal july 7. I've been so busy at work and out of cell phone range I wasn't sure if they tried to contact me so I just went the paypal way. Nothing since. If...

    Lack of Contact

    I did make a payment through paypal awhile ago, so maybe something can be done there. I thought things might be behind with the us ecomomy or the mail strike but maybe not.

    Lack of Contact

    I'm also in the same situation with them and have not had any contact from them? First time I ordered through them it was a very quick response and was very pleased. Did they go out of business or is something else happening?

    Barebottom vs Sand for Breeding

    You may not notice unless you have had the rays on barebottom for a few years. The rays I have moved from substrate to barebottom have taken near that to see how thier muscles have changed and the bigger they are the easier it is to notice. You will notice they are alot more muscular further...

    Barebottom vs Sand for Breeding

    I've never seen anything brought up about this which kinda surprises me. I'm still amazed at how different the muscular development on the rays are.

    Barebottom vs Sand for Breeding

    Does anyone think it makes a difference for ray breeding purposes if the rays are born and raised on sand or barebottom when it comes to breeding. I've noticed that my rays that have been on barebottom thier whole lives have developed a different muscular structure than my rays that were...

    Ph vs tds, PH swings a myth

    Sorry Joey didn't get to finish the last response. On a thread on MFK I was told by quite few people that ph swing has no bearing on a ray it is a fluctuation in tds that is the true culprit. Which from practical experience with rays doesn't allways explain why rays are acting up but ph bounce...

    Ph vs tds, PH swings a myth

    We do need to test for other factors to help us determine some problems that are encountered. Once a tank is well established and all the water chemestry is figured out then spot checking every few months for nitrites and nitrates should be all we need to do unless problems are occuring. With...

    Ph vs tds, PH swings a myth

    I'm in agreement with boydo about the filters taking out maybe some trace elements that may be healthy to our fish but depending where you are it may also take out some elements that are harmful. My tds as of tonight was 500 out of the tap and 480 to 490 out of the filters so according to the...

    Ph vs tds, PH swings a myth

    Sorry tried to edit my above post as it didn't make sense after I wrote it and read it. Yes high nitrate is usually coincided with high tds in a tank but ammonia and nitrite may not really coincide with high readings.

    Ph vs tds, PH swings a myth

    No ammonia,nitrite and nitrate are not the factors for high tds. tds is the total disolved solids. Usually high nitrate tanks will coincide with the tds lowering.
