Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Getting to see him in one of the "Small" venues he's playing would be spectacular. Sadly we'll have to wait for a larger venue to open up before getting to see him!
It is fairly common for people with high flow tanks to reduce the flow at night. Many people I know turn off their tunzes/vortechs at night for that reason.
I think there's a BIG difference between "External Overflow" and an "Overflow Box". My preference would be external overflow first, internal overflow second, and then the overflow box as the least favored option. With the overflow box it seems to be just waiting for failure.
We have an MR3R and it runs externally. It is a monster though with 2 pumps (feed & recirc). If you were to use gravity feed (& no recirc) though you might be able to get away with an external skimmer without a pump at all. My skimmer is hooked up to a collection cup with a stop in it. I don't...
I'm sure your fish would appreciate it greatly. As long as your sump gets decent turnover/airation, I don't see a problem with turning the closed loop off. As many people don't even run them, I'm sure your system will be fine at night without it.
Re: New tank set-up Please check back for questions I have?
One drain that's acceptable. If the tank has 2 you'll be under-fed.
Looking forward to more progress pics!
If the shrooms are holding a small piece of rock they can be glued. If they have *no* rock fragments on the back of them then Matt's right. They can't be glued and sitting them in rubble will get them to attach to that, which can then be glued to something larger.
If you're going to be at the meeting then you can do cash at the meeting.
If you're going to be doing paypal then please paypal 5.45 to paypal@njreefers.org. In the SUBJECT, please put 0703 PNOY TYREE - USERNAME
Thanks!
Stan, Brian responded to you on the Membership card thread. I believe he's working on your card. Sorry for the oversight, the Holiday party got a little hectic (pretty sure I suggested you email a reminder at the time, lol).
See you at the meeting!
