  1. getting out of salt and want to get rid of my stuff. I have a refractometer, almost full pail of instant ocean, 9 hermit crabs and a bunch of water testing and treating stuff. looking for 60 bucks for it all. 780 920 2282. Would also consider trades on fresh water fish so dont be shy about offering what you have!!!

  2. If your water company uses chloramine they will typically be treating at near the same strength as the rest of the year. In Edmonton & Red Deer that would be 2 mg/l, (2ppm). While the water takes on a slightly offensive odor this time of year it is due to the chemical reaction with organics, not just because of an increase in disinfectant. One can use a bit extra Prime/Safe to treat any additional chlorine residuals during spring run off, but there's really no need to double dose.

    From the RDC Q&A ..........

    Chlorine is used as a disinfectant in the water treatment process year round. Because of the high levels of organic present during the runoff, the amount of chlorine in the springtime is greater than that used at other times of the year. This additional chlorine is used up by the organic in the raw water. The amount of chlorine in the tap water is the same year round. The tap water may have a slight chlorine smell in spring conditions, due to organic, which have combined chemically with chlorine.

    fair enough but double stocking is expensive and prime aint that bad!!!

  3. well i cleaned taped and siliconed my 90 gallon testerday. here's hoping it worked. On a side note when filling a 300 gallon after a water change dont forget to pay attention to it as the hose will not shut itself off and water will actually pour over the top of the tank and all over the floor......messy!

  4. As the title states. i am looking for a 90 gal or bigger tank to replace the leaking one i have already. I got this tank and set it up in my 40 gallon with limited equipment and the fish and corals are doing fine but would like to get them set up properly. If someone has a tank for sale or trade i have numerous fish. Niger trigger, Coral Beauty, yellow tang, clown etc.

    Also is someone is willing to spend some time helping me set it up and educating me more on this would be appreciated.

    thanks,
