Congratz on the big scores gang. Wish I could have gone too so we could have had more loot to bring home! I did however win 1st place in my family's gingerbread house competition though.

If you have live black worms then you will be fine. Just be patient as mandarins are slow hunters and other fish may hog them up before they get to eat them. Also, PaulB designed a bottom feeder contraption to feed live brine through a tube and into a small netted container that works great...

Ugh, you can't catch a break Olivier. I was hoping the whole move / cleanup went smooth for you. Will be on the lookout for your rebuild thread.

Sorry to hear that Ed. Hope your son has a happy birthday though.

Dan, I know you said you're looking for large pieces, but I have some smaller sized pieces if you need any fillers or whatever. Here's a pic I took of it a while ago. I'm pretty sure most or all of them are still in there. Anyway, if you think you need a couple let me know. I'm in...

He said in the OP that "Kids are allowed, adults acting like kids are allowed so that should not exclude too many people." So yes, kids are allowed. ;)

This will be the first year I get to attend a NJRC Holiday Party! We're excited. :encouragement:

Ouch! It would probably be cheaper to just buy a whole new tank and re-stock it if a power outage crashed it. :o

Have you tried frozen black worms or blood worms? My mandarin will either both/either.

Congrats Earl! Nice pic.

You could probably add a few long, skinny pieces that would be easy to pull out and rinse off occasionally (say every water change?). But honestly, I don't think adding a couple extra lbs. of live rock is going to fix your hair algae problem. You need to find out what the source of your...

Have you tried any new foods lately? Some foods will contain phosphates. It's possible that the rowaphos has absorbed a good bit of it in that short of time, but not sure if it would remove it all in that short of time. Can you try siphoning out all the cyano and see if it comes back? It's...

Coming along nicely Kevin. There's nothing more exciting than a good upgrade coming together!

Looking great John!

Running the macro light opposite of the tank lights is merely a way to help keep the pH stable. If you find that your pH doesn't swing much with it on 24/7 (and you don't mind the additional electric usage) then by all means run it 24/7. If you only want to run it half a day, then I'd...

OK, I'm glad that the sump will hold any extra water when the return pump is off. I guess the spray bar would make a great siphon break... I hadn't thought of that. The PVC pipes seem to be an easy DIY stand for the skimmer. The SRO 3000 will be slightly bigger, so you'll probably need to...

I'm not an expert, but I've dealt with a few insurance claims to know a little bit about this. Both are completely separate incidents and as such you should be able to make a claim for both. However, flood insurance may or may not be covered by your car insurance policy. You will need to...

Tanks looking great! You got a bunch of nice acans in there.
