    Best way to paint background?

    Spray paint also here. MikeNapoli had a thread and the first few posts was about painting his tank. I did NOT spray paint the overflows. I dunno why - I just didn't.

    My MRC is Female – Taming the Beast

    interesting thought there...i have the same issue with my mrc. One day running great - then bam trying to overflow the waste collector. But placing a strainer (or sponge) on the intake - wouldn't that also lead to issues as it gets clogged up? A thought (on this late night): Employ filter socks...

    Progression: 3 day old clownfish vs 15 day old clownfish

    3 days: 15 days: (that's a nickel for scale) 19 of the 100 are left. So my save rate is at about 20%. As to why I'm doing this - why not! it is a lot of fun. yes work work work (any warcraft players?) but I haven't even thought about what is going to happen to them. Will I try and create a...

    Clownfish Log

    If the club needs a bunch of clowns for display to show we care about conservation - absolutely. I think ideally the clowns have to be 60 days old. They are eating cyclopeeze wafers exclusively now (yes no more baby brine shrimp). The second batch born on January 8 -2010 is coming along. Here's...

    Unemployment in Dec up to 10.1% for NJ

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100122/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_state_unemployment/print I know in an earlier thread someone asked where everyone was. If the economy is still tanking like this - it explains the lack of activity. I am not familiar with this group - but i heard they recently had a...

    Great i've got cyano...

    improved water flow should discourage cyano from growing. I used to have tons of that stuff in a HOB fuge. I hated that fuge. Of course I sold it and the person who's using it now has it crystal clean. So duh- it was probably me overfeeding. Anyways - check how much you feed, perhaps skim wet...

    Feedback for QT setup

    for clarity - the clownfish fry tanks cannot run a sponge filter because the fry are too dumb and will lodge themselves right into the filter itself - killing themselves. If I had the time I could plumb a separate tank with the filter but i don't. Then also if you attach a air-line to the sponge...

    Feedback for QT setup

    D'oh -. I forgot the decimal point. LOL. I do not exceed 0.2 ppm on the tanks. Sorry. It's easier if I just said the color on the badge - I don't go anywhere above "green" on the ammonia badges. Yellow/green ok - blue = death. Again - the QT is fine in my opinion for a small fish like an...

    Remove Bubble algae ?

    ugh - that sounds bad. For once I would consider an army of emerald crabs. I hate crabs but if I had 200# of rock with bubble algae...i dunno what i'd do. Honestly manual removal would be ideal since crabs have a mind of their own.

    ok - I will retract my statement and say that fish can tolerate up to about 2ppm of Ammonia. That is my definition of "fair amount". Higher than that my fry start dying left and right. I get that info based on experience raising clownfish fry. You are missing the point entirely which is that...

    Oh lighten up for once rbu1. From what I understand ryanpal made a request for feedback. Instead - this vendor jumps all over him and now follows him to this thread. Why? 6 posts and all he can do is badger ryanpal? Sheesh - just because i'm a mod I can't speak up to defend others?
