You can upgrade to X2. A friend is a Comcast exec/engineer - he's always good for a tip. On your remote, hit enter, enter, x, t,w,o. Enjoy. It's better

Thanks Paul. Good to know. I had no idea but it certainly looks like that happened. Not sure if my plan will be to cut them down a 1/8" or have the old glass baffles re-cut.

Not sure why you decided to take interest in a community message board and proceed to pick a fight with nearly every one in that community. I don't get too caught up in these spats but I subscribed to this a while back when Jose (I think) started it b/c I was interested in the opinions about...

Ver.2.0 hasn't been going so well. I came home from a rare Friday night out at a fundraiser for my kids school and after dealing with the sitter I headed down to the basement to feed the tank. I don't have the ATO set up yet and I expected it to be low so I wasn't too surprised when I heard...

I found boat deck hinges that claimed to be all stainless. Overkill probably and they were pricey but no evidence of rust. My door hinges were regular HD cabinet hinges and the ones near the overspray from my sump rusted beyond repair in about a year. I guess I'd do the SS. At least it should...

Zinc sucks. Anything (zucchini - autocorrected from zinc. Too funny to delete) plated rusts far too quickly with even indirect exposure to salt moisture. I know when my dad had his sailboat he kept bronze-wool instead of steel wool on the boat - kept in the water in Manahawkin Bay - and it kept...

Hey I used that trap (thanks also Jim). I was trying to catch a Singapore Angel. I couldn't keep my 6-line out. It kept going in and scaring the angel out. Mine will eat anything at anytime. Don't give up. It'll happen

I took out about 1/3 of my rock and cooked it just because of these. Those rocks became infested in under 2 years. As far as I know I had 1 before I got my first coral but many others came in on stuff before I knew what I was looking for. Now that I know what I'm looking for I see them on...

I know they do if you shuck them for the wrase :) My 6-line seems to quite enjoy them. I was hoping if it discovered a "taste" for them it might join in the fight. So far, no such luck. Then again, I eradicated a lot, cooking rock, etc....

I've tried to get rid of them but it's a losing battle. I've actually pulled rocks out and inspected them hunting for the snails which I learned to get out and I would feed them to the fish - who love escargot. If they're in your tank they'll get to places you'll never see like inside the rock.

Got some new frags thanks to MatteZ and RaffleKing. Guess I have to turn my lights down. Just dropped them 20%. Most of the bleaching took only 2 days. Some of it looks ok - blue tipped stag

If "they" ring my door bell in 10 minutes I'll make it worth their while. Tomorrow I'll do $175 again. Another storm predicted next week.

The joys of breaking down and restarting a tank... I'm at about day 6 of the diatom bloom. Ammonia is at .01-.02. The reagent on my nitrate test clogged so I need to get a RedSea refill. The API is worthless (All PetsPlus had). All that tells me is I have something less than 5 ppm... Anyone care...

A couple people messaged me so I'll try to clear things up - I guess this was confusing. Sorry. Asking is back to $250. The price drop was a one day thing... If we get another day with wind chills at or below -10 I'll drop it again. Or a snow storm big enough for me to miss work. Otherwise...

And I obviously couldn't because my metaphorical ice cube is still sitting in my basement

New observation. I found what I think is some sponge when I moved rock over to the tank yesterday. I'd like to be encouraged because I thought sponge was a good indicator but I've tempered my excitement since I've never found anything that I didn't work to get In the tank that was actually good...

Well it's finally up again. Only took 19 weeks. Most of the coral is gone. The green hammer hung on. Some is bleached but it will hopefully come back There's some weird film on the back glass Otherwise I think everything that was still alive this morning made it except the 6-line. Maybe in...

Trying to work through rock scape should not be so torturous. So why is it? I think I envy the idea of starting from scratch. Regardless I had to have one of those "talks" with myself and came to the realization that I was stuck - paralyses by analysis. I have no more good excuses to have an...

I know. I came across the old thread while I was watching all the news of the crazy low temps today so I thought if someone wants to buy it today as a one time only I'd drop it way down. I have an odd sense of humor according to my wife...
