    OMG. I think the OPs question has finally been answered! Thanks, Guys!

    Speaking of mated pairs...

    I have a mated pair of Scooter Blennies! They have been dancing together at night (never during the day, but at night they're inseperable). This has gone on for the better part of a month or more. Last night they were swimming, attached to each other at the side as though they were "arm in arm"...

    What do you guys think?

    That looks pretty good to me. The only problem that I see is that there is no "surface skimming" in the skimmer chamber of the first sump so I can forsee a film building up in there.

    How do I raise my Alk levels

    Great way to simplify it Chris. That's really helpful. If you could give an "in-a-nutsheel" example of 3 and 4a & 4b (both +/-) that would REALLY be a great help.

    Anyone know anything about telescopes?

    The Lake George area in the Adirondacks is a GREAT place for star gazing. The sky is so dark up there the stars stand out.

    The flood update

    Did you see the skin come off of the ponape? If it is out of the water for a minute does it get slimey? It looks a really bright white, which may be bleaching. No polyps, I take it? All things considered, I think it looks really great. Looks like most will come back to their glory in no time...

    DTV - Tivo or DVR?

    Now wouldn't that look stupid in our living room? Good thing you don't like it.

    What do you guys think?

    Could you please take a picture of the inside of the stand? I'm not sure that I would be incline to cut a (very large) square out of your center brace. Maybe enough to send the pipes through, but not enough so that it would fit a whole sump (without extra supports being added somewhere else)...

    DTV - Tivo or DVR?

    Oh boy... I see it coming now. If I close my eyes will it go away?! John does not want one. Does NOT want one. Do subliminal messages really work?

    Look what EATS!

    It does work best if you turn the pumps off. I don't do that nearly as often as I used to.

    Time to re-aquascape...Need some advice

    Mush a little concrete onto those PVC frames and you'd never know it wasn't rock! In time it will color up and be less noticable. One thing you can do is to paint it with purple PVC primer. Then it will blend in right away.

    Live rock on glass or egg crate?

    We've always put our rock down on the glass (never on top of sand).

    I don't know but I'll be hanging on the edge of my seat!

    Acclimation techniques....Lots of questions ??????

    I had thought about the bucket bit, but I don't own a bucket I'd feel comfortable sitting in my sump (who knows what dirt/etc is on the outside of those buckets). As for the garbage can, I'm not sure I'd be able to drip effectively that way. I have used heaters in buckets on larger...

    Francis, the Crayola is looking AMAZING (why didn't I get one?! d'oh)!

    Tropiquarium water

    When I was using Trop water in 2004 the SG was low. I wanna say it was 1.019. What town are you in? Maybe there's someone nearby who can check it for you.
