I don't know but I'm sure glad my kids don't frequent this site. I don't need them getting any crazy ideas!

Welcome to NJRC, and the obsession. As for thoughts on your plan... If you already have the tank, great, but if you don't I'd consider something wider rather than taller (regular 20g over a 20h, 29g). The height will minimize the gas exchange and decrease your lighting effectiveness overall...

Progress report: The Efflo is recovering its coloring very nicely. The greenish hue is back under night sea. Each day the brown is less and less noticable. The caps are going to take a bit longer to recolor, by the seems of things. They all have polyps out, in spite of the brown out and have...

The only pics I have handy are the ones from our pre-upgrade photos. There's one down and to the left of the yellow tang. The other is behind the mag float and to the left. Golf ball to tangerine size pieces available.

Those holes will serve you better than the check valve. Keep those clean and you'll be ok.

I know I have green/purple cap that auto fragged during the upgrade, but no orange. I do have some of each of those I listed for you.

As long as the piping is a tad on the oversized (instead of exactly the RIGHT size), you should be fine. We have pipes running around our basement that don't have a whole pile of pitch to them, though I'm not exactly sure what it is to list specifics. The piping size leaves plenty of room for...

Agreed. In the tank, at or just below the water line. Preferably somewhere easy to get to so that you can clean it out REGULARLY, especially if it will have light cast on it (as then it becomes the perfect place for algae to accumulate.

Good question. I think this is something we should talk about at this month's meeting. We hit some initial resistance from the membership over this issue when it came up and so we took a step back. It seems to me that suddenly our FS/FT forum has a lot of traffic in it. While that can be a good...

That's too funny. Nice hydno. Even if it does look like an Easter Bunny!

I think too often someone will say "I'm interested" in an item and then not act on it. The seller shouldn't have to wait while someone makes up their mind on an item, just because that person posted "I'm interested" before anyone else. I think the bottom line is that the first person to go beond...

Cap is great for beginners. Tough to kill.

IME less than 8.2 seemed detrimental to growth.

That's a TEASER!? That's just not fair!

Welcome to my world. This is exactly how we ended up dripping Kalk through a reactor. Setting the reactor PH to 7.2 sounds a bit high if it is in chamber (I'd think closer to 7.0). You could try slowing the effluent a bit.

Do you have a URL? I'd like to be able to look at what you're talking about.

I can't wait to see the tank up on the stand, Francis. Very nice!

We have 2 harlequins and you need to make sure to feed them a chocolate chip starfish. They won't survive on asterinas alone. There isn't enough "meat" there. Ours get 1 CC starfish every 2 weeks or so. You can freeze them so 1/2 a CC and freeze the other 1/2 for 2w while the one you have eats...

If you ran that pipe out of the tank and then up to the top of the water level and then back down under the tank, apart from dealing with potenial water spay, you'd be ok. I'd guess that siphon hole would spray (and potentially clog, as can happen). Still flirting with disaster.

Sorry to be aiding and abetting those who are derailing a perfectly good thread, but my 2c on the topic follow: I figure if someone can't be conciencious enough to list their city for me, I can't be bothered checking their zip code through google. Why should 15 people use google with the person...
