I am having a problem with cloudy water since I brought the sump online. It has been cloudy for about two days. Does the plumbing need to break in? It doesn't seem like microbubbles. I am running carbon and it doesn't seem to be helping. Did anyone else experience this when tying into the...

Here is my finished sump room. I still have to hang some more lights and tie in the controller, but it is working out well.

I was going to try the miracle mud with mangroves if I ever have room for them again...

I think mandarins do present a threat to carrying ich, even if they don't "have" it. I qt blennies and such in paraguard for 7-10 days at 80 degrees with a cup full of my tank sand in a small section. I had an ich outbreak starting out and the blennies went into the qt after 3 weeks later than...

IMHO a lot of vendors I have dealt with don't even offer any guarantee on any livestock except DOAs, so I would have jumped on the store credit option. Drygoods don't die during shipping. ;) And Rafal it seems like your only purpose is to try to twist words to fuel arguments. Why do you bother?

The leap of faith. I actually have a rear basement door, which was really useful getting the mixer and concrete in.

Thank you for talking me into the mixer. I mixed a total of 38 80lb bags yesterday. Don's brother had a neat laser level. Got the floor framed. I didn't take a finished product picture yet, but I will post one tonight. Had to do some floor repair from tree root damage before we...

Try and train your tangs to eat it. Hold up a rock in the tank and let them eat it off. If you can pull them off without popping them, that works too.

Thank you for the advice. I am renting a 2 cubic foot mixer to do this. I probably would mix it too wet. I have a tendency to do that. I was going to try and spray down the cement everyday to prolong the curing for 6 or 7 days. I haven't done too much concrete, but Taz has been a big help.

he's not cheap. he will sell you the stuff to diy, but it would be cheaper to buy the parts online.

Thanks for the offer. I was going to do it with a drill mixer, but I think it would be a lot easier renting a mixer. I am going to try and pour the floor tonight or I might take off work tomorrow to do it.

I will be tying into the basement this week. Here is don hard at working helping me fix up the sump room.  Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little... lol The start of my Manifold plumbing. If anyone wants to come by this week to help, we will be mixing 22 bags of concrete and...

I got so busy I forgot about it. You should have pm'd me. I guess you sold it to someone else already. Sorry about that.

I didn't buy enough during the last group buy, are there local stores to get this stuff or is there anyone in SJ willing to sell me a few?
