Highly advise against a live stand. Initially, when I purchased my first live stand I went with, like so many others, a dog, believing that he would follow me around with the tank on his back, allowing me to enjoy the tank at all times. Unfortunately the wire tangles were quite a concern. With...

So. Assuming (yes, I've seen the Odd Couple)... If... Algae and corals share the chloroplastic method of conversion And... We go with Educated guess 2 - bacteria consumes elements faster than algae, preventing growth And... We are hyper-charging our bacteria to strip elements to prevent algae...

MAybe its how it enters. Photosynthesis uses chloroplasts for H20, light, and CO2 to provide glucose to mitochondria (in corals and algae). So, guessing its a different production route. Bacteria will actively break alcohol down for respiration via hydrogenases, corals will use chlorplasts...

If I recall, ethanol to aldehyde (is acetyl?) to CoA into Krebs (somewere in the north or northwest side of the diagram, or is it northeast). But a number of corals, thinking softies, rely on photosynthesis and dont rely on the Krebs. With lighting requirements of SPS, does krebs apply? Do any...

If a $500 mushroom pad doesn't impress the ladies, nothing will.

The big question is this (and its a good one)... Bacteria contain alcohol dehydrogenase. Do corals?

Recently picked up this... Amazon.com : Finnex External Refugium Breeder Hang-on Box Water Pump, Fuge Ray LED : Pet Supplies Seriously liking it. I went with the fugeray LED. Ive got a bit of Cheato in it so i can raise some pods in it and deaigned an algae scrubber for it. So far would happily...

Thanks for the thoughts Pat. Alls going well. And love the sig. I'll pass on greetings to Max and the Chief.

Maybe he's looking to trade an older RW8

+1 on the RO 110sss, I ran one for a year and loved it

I accidentally left a pump in a vinegar bath (about 20% vinegar) for 4-5 days. It was useless, all the rubber was destroyed. Recently left a few odd pieces in a vinegar bath including a pump stand. Everything came out nice with the eception of the rubber suction cup feet, which were warped...

Art! Dropped a PM. Toad, lol, thanks. Hopefully it wont be a disaster. Seems once you add water, fish, and corals, it all goes downhill.

Less than 1 month later from previous pic - Xenia growth is coming along nicely, much faster than expected. Zoas will eventually transfer to other tank, as will Darwin clowns. Haven't seen my Pompom crab in a week :(

She's up and running. Filling it with higher quality pretty things. Scape: Bare bottom 25# base and live rock Equipment: Upgraded media baskets (with marine pure plates cut to fit lower chambers) Hydra 26HD on AI bar arm mount (12" above waterline) Stock pump (replacing with Rio 1100 382gph...

Crap Russ! Must be hurty. Hopefully a quick recovery. Think of all the Director things you can do while laid up :D

Your bud was right. That stand does look amazing. As well as the tank on top of it.

Thanks Chris. Bit on and off until the surgery but overall tons better than a few weeks back.

Yep, its in there.

IMPORTANT (No photo) Ensure you cut or hole punch a few holes in the bottom of the unit to allow adequate amounts of water to get in. Likewise, puch a few holes in the top to allow water to get out. While you're at it, you can punch a few holes in the right side of the unit as well. Here's how...

Now, remember that connector piece I talked about? Were going to find it and create a hole on the side of the container that it snugs into and silicone it in place. IMPORTANT that this is in line with the connector we siliconed in previously. Cheat sheet - I used a piece of the cut tube to...
