Mine hid for a while when it was first added. after it settled (but before it found a spot) it split. One of the two settled within a day of the split in a nice visible spot near the top of the rock work - the other half is always on the move - like a fugitive. About a week ago it landed on a...

I had a peppermint shrimp. Did you ever see the movie "Funny Farm" with Chevy Chase? If you did you'd understand why I named it Yellow-Shrimp except at least the saw yellow dog a second time. The shrimp went in and poof. For my next trick, I'll make pure cash disappear. Oh wait, sorry that's...

I hope the GB gets current pricing and not increased if PA's prices go up before ordering closes

Meaning $93 is the result of an increase from 10/1 or retailers will be going up?

Looks like I'll get one too, but far be it from me not to say something to the fine folks at Ecotech. I posted something on their vendor board on RC. I suggested that I bought them new a few years ago and didn't register but otherwise everything I said was accurate. Besides, who cares if I...

Yep. Thought the same thing about overtightening. Or it was dropped and a stress point gave way. I'd have given him the benefit of the doubt too but it smelled like glue and I sent him a msg to ask and he ignored it. When he was trying to sell it he got back to me quickly and countless times. If...

Good strategy but I'm not sure - she didn't appreciate the initial 60% discount. I can’t expect someone who just wants to look at the tank to care or appreciate the mechanics. Most people don’t appreciate what under the hood of their car, they just want it to get them there. I’m actually...

I hear you. I guess that's why it spun when he plugged it it but I'm gonna guess that it got worse when I cleaned it. But still the magent smelled like glue/solvent so unless there's grease in the wetside (which I doubt) the smell tells me he tried to fix it and must have known. Maybe it held...

:biggrin: :cry: :) :livid: I feel like I’m having a manic episode… flip-flop, flip, flop – happy to have a new toy, pissed that I got shafted by someone…. I was super excited after some back and forth I picked up a pair of MP40Ws with a very nice craigslist discount. Granted they are used and...

Absolutely none taken – I guess that’s the risk of meeting sarcasm with sarcasm. Always something lost in the translation when it’s print Anyway here are some better shots of the “thing” In a dish… Ok, so the plan was to entomb this thing with some crazy glue gel and when I pulled the...

made these with HD stuff (and some fiberglass screen I had lying around) for about $6

thanks for the tip unfortunately a craiglist setup is frequently missing those extras that come with things like new MAG pumps

thanks a lot, Geez! :) i was hoping my description would rule it out - you know the part about it borrowing into the rock or taking 5 weeks to show itself - wishful thinking. it seems like anything I ever need help ID-ing turns out bad so no surprise I guess here are the best pics I could get -...

So I have a small rock (anout the size of a D battery) that was given to me with some metallic green palys on it about 5-6 weeks ago. Tonight I noticed a very small hitchhiker. Not sure what I have - I'll work on adding a pic but it doesn't translate well St least with my camera choices. I...

What did you guys use as a foam pad?

Thanks for seeing what you can find don't make yourself crazy. I scoured everything I could find - went back to like '06 to even see them mentioned other than unanswered questions like mine. Maybe I should have asked the sales guy who got me the parts. Doh! A 5 oz bird cannot carry a 1 lb...

It's confusing and made worse since NO ONE uses these. The thing on the bottom is a drain to clean/service the unit. The lid has 4 "things". One is a threaded port that has a bung. Use this to pour in new kalk and water using a funnel (after you drain it with the thing on the bottom) also you...

Thanks, I'll try foam on the intake. I've had the skimmer off and still saw them and I know its not in the pic but there's a filter sock on the drain

Question… I guess this is ok in equipment but to be honest I wasn’t totally sure if it belonged here or new set-ups. Anyway, I have a TON of micro-bubbles and I’d like to address it if possible. Current set up is a Mag 9.5 return which I suppose is the culprit. Otherwise my sump is set up with a...

Allquatics is in Trenton on broad St right by the circle (maybe actually Hamilton there) - not as big as THR tho. It's good if you need something close by but their in store dry goods selection is limited / hit or miss
