Re: Here's my 120 Sorry for your loss, Bax. :'(

The next meeting is Saturday, March 15 in Middlesex, NJ. Welcome. Hope to see you there!

Good luck selling the idea of a new tank just for the BTA population! Those reds seem to split a LOT, and splitting after a move is fairly common due to stress. Congrats on the new offspring!

Yeah, Mike & one other guy moved our 180 into place off of a couple of dollies. Sorry we aren't available on Saturday. There aren't too many tank moves we miss!

RO is not perfectly accurate. It does get you close and you will be able to maintain a consistant salinity with it. A point up or down, but I don't think the exact position on the meter is as important as relative consistancy. We bought the calibration fluid and calibrated ours. It may have...

2 WC at 100% and you'll be smelling like roses in no time. Luckily the smelly part only lasts a week or so. I didn't find having a skimmer help in the smell department either.

TDS meters too!

The big problems with that S formation is that it will near the glass in those spots and you won't be able to keep the glass clean. That will become unsightly in enough time.

Most efficient and will work are two different things here! I'm sure it would *work* (if he does indeed only need to drop the temps 5-7*, since that worked for me), but it probably ran well more than it should have to keep the temps down. In the long run it is probably more expensive that way. I...

Your T5s wouldn't be throwing nearly the light that your MHs are, and so therefore you're not going to be sending enough 6700 light to really change the equation much. Now turn it around and use 6500MHs and blue plus actinics and you might see something. This is actually the theory behind why we...

Congrats on your new tank, AND NJRC Membership. Dave's tank looks good to me too. I like the look of the room divider.

Well, I managed a couple in between holding Genevieve (more than I realized! LOL) I think there's something fishy about Billy's Halo...

Very cool. Looking forward to the pictures!

Great pictures. Crop the date out of those and they could have been POTM entries! (Unfortunately POTM entries can't be posted in the forums before or during the voting). Keep on shooting and hopefully we'll see something entered from you for next month!

Those are GREAT, Bob! Thanks!

I ran that chiller on our 120 during the summers before we went through to the basement. The tank kept "cool enough" (80-82, I think is where I ran it). Since it was only trying to drop the tank <5* it was never a problem. If your tank would get up to 90+ and you want it under 80 then it isn't...

There were LOTS of folks with cams out and about. I saw some taking snaps of livestock and others grabbing shots of the crowd. If you've got 'em ... POST em! They don't have to be artwork. I'd just like to see your photos!

Oh I'm pretty sure he's best off in the sump, J. 28 is a BIT small for him, I'd guess.

Where are all the folks who took pics hiding?!

Baby's cute as a button, Ed! The tank looks great too. I like the way you have the rockwork. Really wide open.
