The insurance discount isn't really a factor, unfortunately. I've found that I receive about a $40 discount. Harumph! Considering that modern alarm systems monitor and warn (centrally) smoke, heat,...

Breakins

When I was a teenager, my family's house was broken into when we were all in the house! My mom's bedroom was on the main floor, and she though it was just me raiding the fridge. Then she wondered why...

I mix 25 gallon batches of salt H20 whenever I do a water change. I use rodi water, then throw a maxijet in the bottom of the "garbage can" (which is actually a white, food-safe container with...

FS: Tunze multicontroller (no pumps, though) + Pinpoint PH reader (Victoria BC)

Hi, folks. Forgot I still had these - don't need them after switching to the profilux system. Both are in "new" (but gently used) condition. I'm in Victoria BC, but willing to ship. Still have the...

TDS reading in Victoria

Just installed my first ro/di unit (Reefmaster from the US). 5-stage. Seems to be working well -- although I wasn't aware that ro/di systems employ runoff (roughly 3 to 1 ratio of waste water to...

The Ecotechs look very interesting; has anyone had experience with them? My only reluctance is that much of the cost seems to be for the wave algorhythms. I run a Profilux system that already runs...

I've had Tunze pumps -- including the nanostream 6055 -- for a few years now, and they've never had a problem. Admittedly they're expensive, and for the price they should work flawlessly.

Buckets - got them - you can have them

Hi. Yes; I've got two buckets (at the moment) that you can have. Both in great shape, but need to be rinsed as they've never been used after being emptied of salt.

You can pick them up most days...

Prices, online retailers, etc.

Hi, all. Thanks for the Ocean Aquatics link! Not sure I've ever been to their store; I'll definately check them out. If they're in Delta (Richmond), this makes livestock purchases simpler, too.

Buying in Victoria vs online and mainland

Tunze pumps

I've got 2 Tunze 6100s and a nano 6055. All variable speed, which makes a huge difference in the tank (e.g. they slow down at night and are programmable for storms, surge, waves, etc.).

Skimmer.

I have a small but good venturi skimmer that can either hang on to a tank or in a sump. It comes with a maxijet 1200. Has been used for a few years, so there's some staining.

Let me know if you're...

Duncan meeting: trades and purchases?

Hi all. Live rock? Bring it on! And zoanthids / digitata is great (from my perspective).
