pnoyreefer what macro lens did you pick up? Did you get the Nikor 105mm? Carlo

I'll have to jump on the bandwagon and caution dosing anything to a nano. I look at dosing stuff this way. You dose additives because it's cheaper and/or easier then doing water changes (especially on big water systems). If it's a small system then doing a water change is probably cheaper and...

I might have to bug you a lot then pnoyreefer. :) Carlo

I just picked up two fans at Walmart on Saturday too. I got the Honeywell Super Turbo 3-Speed High Performance Table Fans. http://www.kaz.com/kaz/store/product/e6f0d1ed94b2c308775bec109e59fb60/ I liked the fact that they were $9.95 each and I'd be able to mount them right over the sump on my...

Piece O' Cake, and besides it got me out of the house! Carlo

No problem.

I'm trying to figure out where to move a rack in my basement now so I've got room for another 125 down there I picked up from Billy that is going to be a grow out/prop tank. I'm trying to get the basement area finished off before I add additional display tanks. I was there with the sump and...

Yes it really does help quite a bit.

If you have ethernet you do not need anything serial cable related since you don't need it and will use the ethernet port. There is a built in webserver on the 3 and Pro that you can access via ethernet or telnet. This is a minimal "web server" built into the unit which allows you to see the...

A low tech option is to just run the fan(s) 24/7 and if the tank cools to much the heaters will kick on. Carlo

Man I wish I had your sized basement instead of my "large closet" sized hole under one part of the house! Maybe instead of having a tank moving party I should start a new one. Anyone up for a "basement digging party? All the beer and pizza you can drink/eat while you're still able to fill...

Oh man, that's the worst!

Is that a RDSB? Hey I hear ya. I like making things just to make them too and see how they work out. Maybe we should get together sometime with a case of beer and PVC and see kind of goodies we could make. :) Carlo

Which Mag pump is that you have hooked up to that monster? Man, I don't want to burst your bubble or be a project killer because that sure looks like a nice piece of work you did, but if are planning on adding a lot of live rock to the sump to help reduce nitrates you might find out it doesn't...

You could do that but you still might need to add a noise filter. It would probably be easier to use http://neptunesys.com/modules.htm#SOCKEXP this made by Neptune Systems ($39.95) and not have to mess around with X10 at all. Carlo

What type of certs do they do? Carlo

If you want to find out pull a rock or two and put it in freshly made up salt water. Test the ammonia, nitrites, nitrates & phosphates of this water before you put the rocks in it (should be zero) and let them soak for a couple of days to a week and re-test the water. If any of these 4 rise...

It's a decent store. It also happens to be the closest lfs to me. The salt water section is small but they get some unique corals and fish at times. Most of the time the prices are pretty good on livestock. Their prices on some things like salt are high compared to many stores. I will say...

Yes everything makes sense from what you have said but I would think your pH would be even lower then it is. Having a pH of 7.8 with low alk but still having good calcium and mag readings is very unusual. I would suggest picking up another brand of alk test kit before doing anything just to...

John, I don't know if you're getting cramped on code lines yet or not but you can remove the line of code to turn the lights back on at a certain temp. If you have the lights come on and off using a time value you only need one line to turn them off if the temp is over a certain point. Each time...
