    What to do when a vendor is not responsive

    I would imagine that the holiday was the larger part of the delay. 4 to 6 of the 10 business days were holiday or near holiday where people were unable to connect with others. Hopefully now that the new year is in full swing you'll see the replacement fans quickly!

    Water Station

    We have a 55g drum plumbed to our RODI with a Kent float switch (ok for use here because this is fresh water, not such a good solution for SW). We have one pump that connects that to our kalk reactor for FW top off. A second pump connects that to our SW mixing drum (another 55g drum). We throw a...

    Why do I need to keep cleaning my glass?

    It is more than just PO4 contributing to the film on the glass. Silicates, nitrates, other disolved organics. Heavier skimming, silicate removal and ozone will help keep your glass clean. Theoretically UV would help this too (but that's anectdotal).

    T5 Bulb Arrangement

    I believe that Wendy has Option 1 setup on her tank. I think that she puts less light demanding corals towards the edges.

    Indoor Lens to Minimize Flash Usage

    Of course using 1.4 you have a VERY thin DOF plane and getting focus spot on is going to be critical and difficult. If your camera front or back focuses you're going to have a near impossible time with sharp focus, but even at 2.8 they will focus easier in low light situations than a similar...

    Indoor Lens to Minimize Flash Usage

    Depends on how low the light is. Ideal would be a 1.2 or 1.4 in anything from 24-50 (but those get pricey). If you can bump the ISO it will help a lot as well.

    Merry Christmas

    If someone says Merry Christmas you should be allowed to respond Merry Christmas if it moves you (or Happy Kwanza, etc... if that's your holiday of choice). I certainly understand that if you're going to lead the charge then you should start with the generic season greeting. Merry Christmas to...

    brilliant site

    Yeah... they're brilliant. Amazing what people can get away with. For the lucky winner (if they only bid a handful of times) that's not so bad, but if you're bidding a lot...well! It adds up, like you said.
