Eagle-eye Jim......slight difference in price too. Good catch.

As I continued to ponder the addition of the JBJ ATO and the safety of the "time out" feature, I was now bothered by this feature being used when I was away on vacation. You know that's when equipment decides to crap out. So in this scenario, the float switch fails, the pump runs until it...

Sorry to see you go Rob. Does this also mean we loose our stand/canopy maker?

Ed, here's a thought....since you have that big hole in the wall.....and young kids. Keep the tank and put in Goldfish.....the kids would love it....have them pick the fish. They are darn near zero maintenance and can take tremendous abuse. I had a goldfish tank for about 25 years....yes...

Say it ain't so! However, I can fully understand. This past week I was just talking to someone saying that I don't know how people with young kids and/or a full time job can find the time to keep a tank I'm retired, and the kids have all moved out, and I still struggle with having the...

Mark, glade to see positive results! PM sent for MP

Blame it on @HerbieK ! :eek: After attending Herb's meeting in December, where someone counted 12 powerheads, and then watching Dana Riddle's MACNA talk HERE, where the importance of flow was part of the discussion (light and alkalinity completed that Troika), I started playing with...

I've always been fascinated by all four of the cephalopods (cuttles, octopus, squid, and nautilus), with most interest in cuttlefish. Their ability to not only immediately change color, but to also be able to change their texture....fascinating! However, although I once considered a tank...

I had set up the JBJ ATO thinking it was going to be temporary....with the concern that it didn't have a backup float switch. As I was pulling out the original ATO, I remember that someone had mentioned that the single float switch "times out" after X number of minutes of pump run time....so...

Here's my two cents..... Not crazy about API. Red Sea and Salifert, you can't go wrong. Test kits that are a must....Nitrate and Phosphate. If you're keeping hard corals or clams, include calcium, alkalinity and magnesium. No other kits are really needed unless your are adding a...

How did I totally miss this reboot? I just spent my Saturday morning reading the first four pages. Extremely well done and an excellent lesson in taking your time to do it right. I really like you're "take it slow" approach and the obvious thought and planning with this rebuild. I'm a...

The liveaquaria description scares me. Neat looking fish though.

When my Long Nose Yellow Butterfly was alive, I never knew I had Aptasia. If someone would ask, I'd say, "No, I have no aptasia." Well, the yellow guy died and now I have aptasia everywhere! Everywhere. I go into the fishroom tonight and right on the front glass is....... an Aptasia! I'm...

I have a couple Fathom LED light fixtures you can try to see if there is improvement. :rolleyes:. :D. :D. :D

My stuff arrived. UPS guy stated that the morning was brutal, afternoon, not so bad.

You have the black frag rack......try putting in a piece of white and see if it grows on that. Thought is phosphates coming from the black.

Where is it growing....the glass, the rack, the plugs??? If flow is good, the only other variable I could think of is light. One other thought is the location of the MAG 18......before the skimmer, after the skimmer???

Cavemen!

Sunny, I'm just going by what Channel 7 News is saying. I just shoveled a path in anticipation of the delivery and I'd say we have five to six inches.....and appears to be lightening up.

Nice write up on palytoxins....and reminder for those who have zoas and plays. The one time I got hit was when I was trying to net a fish, and my hand was zooming around the tank. I didn't pay close attention, but the back of my hand was hitting into palys. A couple hours later I had welts...
