outtafocus Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 If you test the water once you get it home, and it tests to have nitrates and phosphates, will Petco take it back? Like it really matters, because I dont have Petco in Canada and I also dont have Catalina water available either. I am just asking a question on behalf of everyone. Link to comment
artarmon42 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Did my weekly maintenance this afternoon, and put in ~2 gallons of Catalina. Incredible polyp extension! Definitely corals seem to appreciate it! Sadly I am now out of my Catalina (heh, went through that 5G box in less than 1 week). Will have to pick up another box this weekend... Link to comment
Chronicles Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 See, I told you your tank will love it! You do a 50% water change per week? Link to comment
artarmon42 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Heh, no I typically change 1-2G per week. But I was so excited about Catalina that I did multiple changes this week Link to comment
bowfront26 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I also have never used a heater during my waterchanges. Link to comment
Seanewb Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Petco Online free shipping if you spend 50 bucks or more. Free Shipping - NO WEIGHT LIMITS - $50 purchase or more! Might be a good idea to get your cata water now aye! Link to comment
Chronicles Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I'd rather go to the store every 2 1/2 months and pick it up 2 myself Link to comment
artarmon42 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well I received my 8 boxes of Catalina... I still can't believe I got free shipping! Was expecting them to cancel my order :-* Anyway, I've been busy with work so I haven't been online too much. Also my custom nano just arrived, so this weekend I was busy "customizing" it. Will post more pictures in a different thread, but thought I'd share some shots that you'd all appreciate :pirate: Link to comment
tMoney Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Great looking setup! Where'd ya get that? I have a feeling that that is going to be one incredible looking tank. -T Link to comment
artarmon42 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Just an update on the Catalina NSW issue... I'm using it on my new custom nano with skimmer. Look at what the skimmer pulled out in 30 minutes (brand new tank, so all that crap is from the Catalina) http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...1525#post531525 For the record, I love Catalina and will continue using it in future. This post is about why people need protien skimmers Link to comment
gedemeister81dk Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 go to the beach, collect, adjust salinity, 2 week waiting periot, change water Link to comment
gedemeister81dk Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 The environmental hysterics, say it is impossible, but fish caught here are perfectly fine to eat, been diving also and seeing it… Phosphates and nitrates are bad ( refugeum/ fixes that right), but can be removed! I do not believe in pathogens, if any, seawater adds diversity, blank tonic food and is the perfect salt mixture. Nothing beats the real deal! Go natural if you can, sea-water beats salt-water Link to comment
