Umm, what road is that on? Route 15?

It's kind of messy and it never dries. I'm wearing gloves next time I ahve to use it. I bought it because the Sequence Dart pump instructions specifically say to use it rather than teflon tape.

Thanks Gabe, is after work on Thurs or Fri OK? Where is a good place? The only thing I know in Jefferson is High Heels! Just kidding.

Disco smoke machine, mounted in the canopy. ;)

Thanks!

I shall always remember our visit to Malcolm's house, with the living room mostly taken up by a (350G??) reef tank. That man had DEDICATION.

Thats funny, because I was told to use that glop...teflon paste pipe dope. I think I'll try it your way.

Is it OK to glue threaded (NPT) connections? I got some threaded unions when I wanted slip, and it seems like it would be more secure and leakproof if it was glued.

Very happy with my tank from Twinoaks/Glasscages , www.glasscages.com, probably cheaper than the other companies mentioned.

Thanks Gabe, that's great. :)

Can anyone puh-leeze pick up my PA order and bring it up here? I live in Rockaway in Morris County and I would be happy to pick it up anywhere close to there, or to my job in East Rutherford. Jim

My old SeaStar PrismPendant had a regular SE MH bulb and came with a glass shield. I stopped using it because I was tired of cleaning it and I found I got around 5% more light without it. It did keep heat out of the tank a little better though.

What kind of drill guide are you using and where did you get it?

Hey, that's a really clever idea! I was thinking in terms of one of those "bike lift" gadgets, perhaps even using a remote control actuator to raise it electronically. That's a bit silly though. Do you rivet the brackets to the frame directly?

What are the dimensions of your tank? (Not a lot of 60" tanks out there, I've only heard of one commercial tank, an Oceanic)

...And a very impressive one at that . I talked to Mike at Reef Exotics, who I met at MACNA in DC, and he hooked me up with a pair of reflectors, he thinks that 2 X 250 will be enough for my 65" tank. So I went with SE after all.

That's amazing! As a registered cheapskate, I at least need to investigate it. I plan to make a light rack out of angle aluminum, held together with pop rivets. The famous Melev on RC did a nice version of this, and I've been looking to copy it ever since I saw it. I figure if it looks too...

No kidding! I'm sorry to hear that. I shall try to learn from your misfortune.

If I used DE I would use reflectors with glass shields. That said, I think the protection is for US, not the tank. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't bother the corals a bit, if they were under water.

Does anyone have a feel for which is better? I am getting ready to build my light rack and the electronic ballasts I have can drive either.
