    Energy efficiency

    The New High Efficiency Boilers are sweet Paul. I'm jealous since we dont have Natural Gas to use a unit like yours. We installed a HE Oil Fired tankless boiler last year and use it for Hydronic heat and residential Hot water. I highly reccomend the upgrade for anyone that has an old system, I...

    Hippo with ICH

    because it had been 5 months or so when the hippos got the white spots witch i will consider ICH and nothing else ever showed any signs.

Mine had it twice, once when i added the Yellow Tangs and when we moved them from the...

    Hippo with ICH

    I would leave them alone and feed them. IMO if you chase them it's gunna stress them out. My hippos both had ick but between the cleaner shrimp/fire/coralbanded and the wrasse/goby combo it was gone within no time.

    theres a LEd build somewhere (rc maybe) that a guy used some alum Heatsink cut to size and the Cree LED's.. sweet build and look. FTS has one on each side at an angle and the center one flat.

    Flatworm and Snails

    you can but i have noticed that flatworms usually hide in low flow areas in the DT. now in my fuge they hang out on the glass since the flow is low. My Mandarins eat the flatworms in the display. if you do dose the tank be sure to run carbon afterwords and i would Re-dose after a few days to...

    Where is everybody??

    did both in Negril off 7 Mile Beach. snorkeling was fun but if you can hold your breath a decent amount of time you can dive to the bottom and check things out.

    Lucky or Not? (sump question)

    U tube style if you get a HOB overflow.. clean it every so often (bi-annual) and you should never have a problem. match the pump to the overflow rating so theres enough flow to remove any bubbles.
