You *might* find the far right and left fringe to be a little dark depending on the reflector used, but if the fixture is meant for a 36" tank then I'd say it will likely look fine. (Conventional "wisdom" is that 1MH bulb will throw light in a 2'x2' square.) As far as whether or not it will be...

Mike, with temps like today you can't afford to wait. What time will you be here?

Do you have any pictures of your setup? I'd love to see it in action!

Mike, we have a dc8 that's not in use yet and a chiller that has its own thermostat that you could use. Let me know which one you want and when you'll be here to get it.

I think it depends largely on how long the sand's been in the tank and how deep it is. We had a 2" sand bed in our 120 that was moved around a lot through current, inverts and animals. We moved the entire bed, less the detritus into our 180 when we switched tanks with no ill effects (we also...

That's one cool tool, Rich.

This is Marcelo's system. I have to imagine that the pump is right sized...

As long as your disturbing the surface it should pull that junk into the water to be disposed of by your skimmer. My concern is that if you've got an overflow to a sump (RR tank, I assume?) then it should be pulling the water from the surface to get to the sump. What does the feed to the sump...

I was there this weekend and snapped some photos for those of you who haven't been there. The pictures are with the review HERE.

Evaporation is purely water. Everything else (salt, pollution, trace elements) becomes that much more concentrated in your system. When you replace that evaporation, you replace it with fresh water. In order to reduce the pollution in your system and replace the trace elements that are utilized...

Hmm Wonder if it is being blocked on your end? Works fine here. I thought the same thing about the fee. Also probably helps to fund the prizes! Hopefully the June POTM will be up by the end of the day today.

The election for Director at Large - North is currently under way. Please make sure to VOTE. We need a quorum to elect an officer, even if they are running unopposed. Thanks!

55/12 people expected at the meeting next weekend. Looking forward to seeing the familiar faces along with the new ones. If you're bringing someone along with you, please make a note of their name in your RSVP so that we can have nametags for them when you arrive. Now is a good time to update...

http://www.worldinfocuscontest.com/ They have both professional and amateur categories for the contest. The following are the prizes for the Amateur Category: 1st Prize Choice of 11-day trip for two to Arctic Norway OR 10-day trip for two to the Galapagos Islands. Sponsored by Lindblad...

I just double checked using my test login and it works just fine. Dave, try following the "Reviews" link from the menu. That is accessible to everyone!

The meetings are all open to the public, and EVERYONE is invited! You're more than welcome to come, but as Brian suggested, RSVP is good so that the host knows how many to prepare for.

ZE tank would put him over the edge (literally!). Probably not the best ... but the indoor pond (if big enough) would be great. I'm not sure what that species eat but I've fed them squid on a number of occasions. Billy built his frag tank and it seemed very doable. It would get you a nice sized...

I think with enough "head space" you wouldn't need a cover, but most of our tanks don't have enough head space to prevent the jumping. Sounds like you need a custom made tank. Something 4' wide by 2' high by 8' long would be perfect.

That is a touching story. Especially the part about your dad getting choked up. Is the tank covered? They're known jumpers (I think Trop loses more than they sell to jumping). I think more than height, they need floor space so increasing the water volume won't mean much to him unless you can...

I'd love to keep rays, but don't really have the system for one. Between their need for a large swimming floor and a covered top, we couldn't responsibly keep one. What kind of tank do you have that you're going to be keeping him in? Sure is a beauty!
