    Corals can SURVIVE!

    I would venture to guess that there are precious few in this hobby that run an ich free system. In order to do that you'd need to fallow every single invert (corals included) and TREAT (not just quarantine) every single fish. I don't know anyone who goes to such lengths (except for maybe Carlo)...

    Looking for Advice on Custom Tank

    Carpets get WAY too big for a tank that small... I'd have to advise against that one. It will quickly outgrow your system. I'd stick to 1-2 BTAs. They'll split plenty if there's enough room, light, food, etc. for them.

    ASM Skimmer Feedback

    Billy was running a G4 before the upgrade. I know he did the mod, but I don't think he was ever happy with the results. He may still have it kicking around and need to get rid of it.

    Looking for Advice on Custom Tank

    I'd go 2" taller on the tank and do the external overflow. :)

    Looking for Advice on Custom Tank

    I would do an external overflow, spanning 50-80% of the tank back wall. That leaves the entire "cube" area inside for aquascaping. I'm not a big fan of internal overflows, especially not in a tank that small. I'd probably return over the top of the tank, though holes drilled in the back wouldn't...

    reducing noise and heat on a pump

    I don't know if it will help either (I think they're relatively well known for their noise/heat), but you should run the larger pipe all the way to the tank and reduce just as you hit the tank. The reason behind that has to do with the head loss you suffer on the smaller diameter pipe over the...

    Have you checked out FilterDirect (US company, not the Canadian company) on eBay? I can't say enough good things about them. Great product & service at a really good price.

    Donut holes. Mmmmmmmmmmmm! Thank you Francis & Carol for opening your home to us Saturday morning (EARLY!). It was a great way to start the day. Carol, that Jumbalaya was out of this world. We'd LOVE to have the recipe! If not Francis is going to have to bring it to the next meeting! I'll need...

    D300 & D3 hit the market

    Well Ed, if you want one of the discarded bodies you'll have to start saving up for lenses! They can quickly dwarf the price of the bodies!

    D300 & D3 hit the market

    Yes, the D3 pricing (Professional Cam) will be close to 5K... but you'd expect that. Heck you could pay 5K for some of the pro lenses (200-400 VR) let alone the body! The D300 (pro-sumer) is slated to be right around the price point the D200 though. That will, of course, put a lot of used 200s...

    D300 & D3 hit the market

    The D300 will be consumer level priced at about the price point of a D200 and well worth it. Maybe even worth the upgrade (or to keep a second body in the bag)! Mladen? You forgot the geek glasses. Next time I see you you'll have to explain that in English!

    D300 & D3 hit the market

    Certainly is going to have a great effect on the price of a D200 though!
