    Best RO/DI system?

    Check out the filter guys too (www.thefilterguys.com). They have the extra RO cartridge to reduce your waste water. I think the conservation aspect of that would be a bit help to us in the long run.

    Here we go again 175g metals collection Bow.

    Fantastic looking hood. Well worth the wait, I'm sure. How do you plan to "finish" (stain, paint, veneer) it?

    Hey! You're in Yankee country now. Watch it. Of course I couldn't care if either of them win ;D

    biggest bristle worm contest

    Yeah, he had PVC holding the rock structure up in a tank that was along the lines of an 800g tank. Pretty crazy. Coralfan... 36"?! Did you name it? Get a photo of it? I would have been shrieking like a little girl over that one! I had all I could do to get a 14 incher out of the tank. I would...

    what's better T5 or Power Compact for a 30 gallon?

    +1. That was the "rule of thumb" before T5s.

    Nudibranch Hitchhiker on Sponge

    You will need that sponge that he bought it with. That is its natural diet. It is possible that no other sponge will work. They typically have VERY specialized diets, which is why we can't typically keep them alive in the home aquarium. What region is that sponge from?

    new bulbs in Aquapod 24

    Can you put the old bulb back in? I'd suspect the bulb, given the close proximity of the flickering to the bulb change.

    Nudibranch Hitchhiker on Sponge

    It is very cool and you most likely got it WITH its food source. So often in our hobby we can't keep nudi's alive because we don't know or have access to their food source. I would keep it, with the hopes that you purchased enough food for it to graze on for a lifetime!

    Great first crack at it! Seems like it would be a fun toy to have. Enjoy!

    VOLCANO TANK!!! WOW!

    That is WAY cool. I love the look! Too bad you couldn't disguise flow as well as you can disguise the return. Maybe a tunze in a rock. But if you ever need to get it out of the middle of the rockwork... I'm not sure how that would work.

    best way to get rid of hair algae

    A good crew of turbos and new bulbs if you're using PCs. What are your NO3 and PO4 numbers?

    biggest bristle worm contest

    The worm from Oregon Reef was a eunicid, actually. We had one of those as well, around 14". I'd have to look to see if I could find the pictures of it. I've never had much of a bristle population.

    Better than RO water!

    We're among the lucky in NJ my inbound tap is 55-65 as well. Of course I don't know what's in it, so it goes through the RO/DI before going to the tank anyway!

    Rod's 75gal Mixed Reef

    I read that as he covers the lights with foil to stop the spillover from ruining the photos.

    2.5 gal reef tank

    On the list?! I hope it is a REALLY short list!

    what's better T5 or Power Compact for a 30 gallon?

    I didn't say it wasn't possible. I said it wasn't necessary (Overkill is the word I used). Are you debating that?
