Keep it up wiseguy. ;D i'm going to have to find the one you own and start some threads. ;)

From what I've seen here - you have to be a spammer, request to be booted (e.g. quit), or really really tick off the mods. I won't say what other forums - but it doesn't take a whole lot to get booted from some places. ::)

yup. ;D

Total Forums Registered: 3 Paid member: 2 I think one has 10 posts. One has 2000 posts but that was before I came here. and I seem to have surpassed that post count here. ;D

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. I am trying to take a break from working/checking my email...it's great to look at your fish and tank!!!! holy cow that back wall is like corralline heaven. ;D That is a great pic of that frag. I placed mine in a torrent of flow and now the...

not sure if you have ever been to that fish place in lancaster, pa. I mention it because supposedly it's retail space is about 100,000 sq ft. The place is like a costco for fish lovers (the warehouse aspect - no food sampling.. ;)). Now half the place is devoted to dogs, cats, reptiles, birds...

clams have been more and more restricted due to import issues. That stated - I have seen Ocean Gallery II and Aquatic Obsessions get nice clams. If you prefer online - Dr. Mac/pacific.east.aquaculture and Clam's Direct have gotten great reviews. as far as macna - i have never been either. I...

i have to get back to work ::) so i'll leave someone else to provide in depth answer - tuning two 9.5s (one for each return) is giong to be difficult. better off just having one pump for both. Also there is no hard and fast rule regarding a single return pump with manifold - or a smaller...

In teh event of pump failure - the tank will not implode. Most of the in habitants do not rely on the sump pump for flow - hopefully you set up your tank such that the bulk of the flow is coming from the powerheads. A powerhead consumes far less electricity and you can set up a battery back up...

another thought - people always set up mixed reefs. What I mean is this: Person gets a SPS cap, then a LPS Frogspawn, then a sun coral, then a gonipora, then an anemone, then a scallop/christmas worm, then maybe a sea hare. You have filter feeders, moving stingers, photosynthesis needs...

to power the returns? an alternative to consider would be to get an external pump. A pair of 9.5s will definitely heat the tank a few degrees. Not that I would push you in this direction - but why two 9.5s instead of a single mag 18?

by the way -when you are ready to set your tank up and make the leap from cichlids - start a tale of the tank thread - then we can all follow along and provide tips/hints etc. In terms of best value from a powerhead perspective - i think the tunze appear to retain their value relatively well...

I think Mags are pretty reliable for the price paid. I guess it depends how much they are asking for. One downside with mags is that they do impart some heat into the tank. I've also noticed that long term use causes the screws in the pump to rust. Or maybe that was because I was negligent with...

i think ds4x4 uses that salt brand. He likes it. I think phyl does not like that brand - I forget why. I have a bucket in my garage...haven't tried it yet. Any particular reason why you want to use a new salt?

My humble opinion - people leave for different reasons - divorce, baby, marriage, people move. Some people are college students or hs students. Certainly when times were flush, there may be less - but in my opinion I just think we notice it more now. I'm not looking to get out - but the biggest...

Really sorry to hear about the angels. Ich and stupid fish are remarkably common in our hobby ;D and I wouldn't take it too personally. I'm sure a trip to the LFS may convince you to try again in the future. Finally - there is this minor solace - for all you know the angel was going to be food...

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax ouch...get a doc to prescribe some naproxin...(forget the spelling) - it's basically ibuprofin but at 5x the strength of anything over the counter... ;)

For record - mine is skipped too...might have to do with the private messages I send... ::)

i won two subscriptions from the last frag swap...one to FAMA and another - I can't remember - I think it's AFI (or TFH). ::) Yes - it's been that way for me - just so crazy at work that I don't have time to read anything (besides post padders!) :o

looking promising...i've been tinkering with the idea of replacing the small pumps with a manifold - similar to what ricwilli mentioned to me on my tale. T off the return pump and power up the phos reactor etc. Just been too lazy to do plumbing... :P
