Carlo, I wasn't challenging your experience, just sharing ours (adding 167% of the existing volume when we brought our sump online). The greatest benefit of these forums is a wide range of people sharing all of their ideas and experiences. When we lose the ability to share what's worked for...

We brought our fuge online without any pomp and circumstance. If your fuge is going to be less than 20% of the overall tank volume then call it a water change and move on. We've gone way higher with no ill effect. We brought our 200g basement sump system online with "new" water (our main is a...

It's not her birthday yet!

The most interesting way of draining water that I've seen was in a link that was posted not to long ago for Melev's Reef. The topic was replacing a sump (which you may also find interesting), but the drain idea I'm referring to is in a picture at the bottom of that article...

I'd stick with a Chromis unless you really like mean evil fish. Then the damsel would be perfect!

You shouldn't have given away your age, Rich! I didn't think you were a day over 60.

Hi Rob! Meetings are open to the public. Anyone can come along. Just posting here is all that's needed to get on "The List". That said, there are some great benefits to joining the club and I highly recommend it! The instructions for joining are here...

^^^ :)

At 1 gallon a day, mixed up at 1.040 it would take you 19 days to get it up to 1.024 if you "changed" 1 gallon a day. It will go up slightly faster "evaping" rather than "changing", but probably only a by a couple of days, given the overall system volume. You reduce that to 12 days by going up...

*THUD* Hey Jim! It will be good to see you!

How sad. Is 6 old for them? Sorry for your loss. Sierra would have LOVED to get to play with that one. Was your son devastate?

Any chance you can get the current owners to allow you to set up a tank (or two) there, prior to moving in (maybe pay them a fee and sign a waiver of their responsibility to any damage the tank causes)? That would be the best suggestion. I can't see keeping "small" tanks running properly to...

We've put fresh primer/cement into our system with no ill effects. Of course we have quite a bit of water volume.

And here I thought you'd taken PS to a whole new level. Now I'm saddened. Marcelo, that's one smooth ride (I know, I have one)! Sweet!

If the company's policy is to take back an item, no matter how old, you better believe I'm returning that 5yo TV!

What size tank are they in and was there any other flow in the tank when you turned off your circulation through the basement? Sounds to me like it may have been oxy deprivation if it was a smallish tank? Otherwise the sand bed may have been a culprit if it wasn't 'well stirred'. Sorry for your...

You can't imagine what your heart feels like in your throat until your watching your kids take off on a lift in front of you... completely out of your hands. At 4. *shudder* But they did so well! Better than us, actually! There were so many times that we'd be so absorbed in watching them that...

Oh... if Zachary KNEW he could be in snowboard class already he'd be on one in a New York Minute! We have him convinced that he has to learn to ski first. I'd like them to be proficient at both. Do your kids board?

Here are a few pictures from our recent trip to Vermont. It was a cold week with windchills hitting -85. Apart from that it was the perfect week for skiing. Lots of new snow arriving daily. The mountain couldn't have been in better condition!

Guess what you're getting for your birthday What's DMB?
