I know who got one of them.

Yes, the "X" means that booth is sold already.

Great job so far. I am glad I booked mine already.

Sorry for your loss. Do NOT use soap to clean the tank, bleach is just fine. After washing with bleach, fill it up and add a good amount of dechlorinator such as SeaChem's Prime, Kordon's Amquel Plus or Hikari's Ultimate. Then rinse again with fresh water and let sit for 24-48 hours to dry...

Of course depending on what types of corals you plan on getting you MAY be able to wrap them in wet paper towel, bag them up and bring them on the plane with you. The minute you put water in the bags though, they will be confiscated. They are starting to ship some SPS and I believe zoas in just...

Nobody gives out shipping boxes at these shows. Just be aware that you are going to be paying a checked baggage fee for that box which could be as much as $50-75 each way. You should check with your airline to see what they will charge you to check that box as baggage.

There are 2 types of mantis shrimp, spearers and smashers. Spearers have barbed spears for front claws and smashers have club like appendages. Some of the larger species of smashers can break a glass tank. This usually only happens when folks keep them in small tanks such as 10-15 gallons as the...

Great for him. Glad he could make a living out of his hobby. Wendy I hope all works out for you. Have a great night all.

I hope they got it fixed. I am sure a few of us here have also had many successes with plumbing tanks and we are never one for not helping a fellow reefer. we just chose to do it in the forums or in person so others can learn from our experiences. No need to take the info to PM's or phone calls...

From the Mega Flow web site: So if 1 overflow can handle a 2400 gph pump with the head factored in then a dual could certainly handle a QO 9000. I have a single overflow on my tank and run a 1000 gph pump with no issues because of the head height. I am sure your Iwakis are very quiet but...

Yup and that will have zero effect on the overflows. All tanks have 3/4 returns in them and everybody has to reduce their return plumbing as most pumps are 1-1.5 inch outputs on them.

A T fitting with 45's come off of it make it a modified Y. A lot less restrictive than a T that puts everything at a 90. But her return plumbing is 1.5 inches so a 3/4 T is a moot point. Not to mention that the tank has dual 1 inch drains which I believe are rated at 1200 gph each. Don't know...

There has to be a T in there somewhere if it is splitting to multiple returns. How else would the line split? And actually a Y fitting is better as it is less restrictive than a T. Also Quiet One pumps are notorious for being loud when used externally.

Why not just post here so we all can learn? That is what we are here for, to learn and share our knowledge with others.

Ditto what Rich said. First meeting for me in a while and it was a great one. We had a blast and the kids loved the pool. Thanks again Bob and Terry for having us in your home.

Anybody bringing beer?

Try another test kit. Lots of folks have been getting extremely high false readings with Salifert kits lately. Try using an API, Red Sea or other brand of test kit.

You have got to be kidding? What time do you think you could be at Belmar? I have to check the tides again but I thought that high tide was around 2ish. Ok I just checked the tides. High tide in the inlet is at 1:47 pm so I am guessing about 1/2 hour to reach the back bay so that would put us...

Do NOT add any heat source to the box/package with the fish this time of year. If it is in an insulated container the temperature will be fine. They ship fish on planes every day and no heat packs get used this time of year. If anything some will ship with an ice pack to keep them cool while...
