Herb, great hearing from you! You and Ann always did the best meetings. Enjoy your retirement.

I can't verify that this is your problem, but this is the common issue with these power bars....a 2-10 dollar fix: The above video references the post on R2R which has the detail...

Hey Kevin, you don't mention the size of the tank, but in looking at the scale, it appears the MP40s are too powerful for that size tank. I think you're going to have to keep them set at a low setting. That said, most definitely move them up. I have a five foot 90 gallon with five...

My wife tells me I suffer from Male Pattern Blindness. I can never find anything! :oo:

Wow, 800 is high....you need to chew that water! Unfortunately the EPA does NOT have a TDS standard, only a recommendation of being under 500. That said, I'm looking at you rejection numbers and they seem high. What RO unit do you have? A quality 50-100 gpd membrane should have a 98% or...

Safe and Easy DIY way to remove Nems

When I had a yellow tang chasing my long nose butterfly, I hung a mirror on the side of the tank, with the intent that the yellow tang would redirect his aggression to the mirrored tang. What happened was that the butterfly found the mirror, and every time it would pass, he'd show his dorsal...

Certainly ain't like the old days Paul. I can remember working on a 54 Packard flathead straight 8 that had all of two wires going to the engine. You could remove one wire and the thing still ran. Just hope you never have a parasitic draw (sometimes referred to as parasitic drain) that is...

Your options are endless. I had an 18-19 inch long Hollywood Stunner that I pulled out and took to the LFS for credit. If the Euro Bracing wasn't there, I could have gotten it out in one piece. Anyway, the two large pieces went into a Rubbermaid Container and the Rigid Shop Vac...

LiveAquaria has them listed as "with caution". That said, I have two in a 90 gallon DT mixed reef who both enjoying munching on Aiptasia, but never saw any indication of them eating corals. I'm either lucky or my corals don't taste good. I'll also note I don't have zoas and heard that is...

I looked into automatic water changes a number of years ago and didn't do it because of space considerations. However, what I was looking at was old school dual head peristaltic pump. They are commercial pumps that last forever (but having to change out the tubing every so often.) I'd also...

Check out THIS LINK where Jay Hemdel, a fish expert, talks about Jawfish being prone to hyperthyroidism....including treatment

Makes sense....stainless steel is predominately iron, carbon and chromium. I too had a MAG 9.5 with two screws totally rusted out to the point that I named it old-four-screws. I've got to believe they use a low quality stainless, with interestingly less chromium. It's the chromium content...

That video looks too surgical. Herb was a wild man with the hammer.

I don't know what Reeflo Dan has, but Champion Lighting sells the pumps......might be THIS ONE. If this is the free standing skimmer I think it is.....not submersible, but free standing....it also needs a "feed pump" to get the tank water to the skimmer.

PM on the Coral Beauty

If you're willing to come to Sayreville, I have neon green candy cane (a colony or single head) and a fresh cut head of green hammer. If not limited to LPS, I have some LPS as well. All for free.

Holy Tuna sandwich Batman! At around ten feet, and assuming Atlantic Bluefin, you're looking at about 1000 pounds.....and fresh caught, and the right market, approaching a million bucks!!! Get that little guppy over to Fulton fish market NOW.
