Yes, these are good for your tank. You will also likely see tiny mysid shrimp along side these lil guys, which are swimmers as opposed to the crawling amphipods. Check out that article for more info, but here's a quick pic taken from it... Both of these creatures will provide filtration (by...

Love the setup. Will look even better when you can hide the equipment in the back. +1 to what Paul said about the pics. I use photobucket as well and just copy the IMG code they provide and paste it here. Works like a charm. Anyway, love the magnet idea for the clip. I have the suction cup one...

Great story and a great looking tank! The rockscape looks like it has plenty of hiding spots for lots of fish and ample places to mount corals. :encouragement: Just have one question for you... do you quarantine your fish/corals before putting them in the display? When first setting up a...

Note to self... add tripod to the shopping list. Great pics Xavier!

Nice link Mike. I've been using a chart that I printed out and if my results aren't exact on the ppm scale, I've been doing the math via calculator ([ppm value on Hanna meter] divided by [50] to get the meq/l... then multiply by [2.8] to get dKH). Or, if you want to simplify it, you can just...

Very cool! I agree with David. You should have saved them for the contest.

Well, when I see a pic like this: The first thing I think is... That's PHOTOSHOPPED!! I don't think, Wow, that's a great pic! We've never had anything so absurd as a photo submission before, but an image as bizarre as that could come along at some point and then we have someone arguing that...

Wow, that is pretty cool. Only problem with doing this is that we don't have sunlight as strong as S. Africa here in NJ. We're probably twice the distance from the equator as "Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa" is. Still, it's definitely a good idea to do that if you can. You can save a...

I blame Taz on that one! He should have known you were an idiot and mentioned to drill on the underside. :o

I'm no lawyer, but I've had my fair share of traffic tickets to see what happens in various NJ courts. :jaded: I think legally they can still issue the ticket if the handicap card isn't displayed, as "displaying" it is part of the requirement when having it. Coming to court and showing evidence...

I think I agree with Steve (hurtback) also. White balance, sharpening, red-eye reduction, etc. are all minor enhancements that only make the photo more like the actual image that was taken. I don't think anyone has an issue with those types of enhancements at all. Using Photoshop or similar...

My wife is an Alumni of Rutgers (New Brunswick) so I sent the link over to her. I'm sure you'll have at least two more signatures for the petition. :encouragement:

I was wondering the same thing Dave. Since this topic didn't get a whole lot of interest, it doesn't seem like many people care what happens either way. Also, out of all those that did comment, it seems the majority agree that software "enhancing" is not really fair... but there really isn't...

Don't let them get their hands on any raffle tickets! :playful:

Tank is looking good Sam. Tell the kids they're doing a great job! (and so are you.) If you aren't already using activated carbon along with the "phosphate reducing medium" you mentioned... you should use that as well. It helps keep the water clear. Thanks for the update and pics. Wish I...

Thanks guys. With all the instructions given for this "recipe" you would think that would be noted after this direction. Sometimes people assume some minor details are known but it's not always the case.

I was going to say that I'm sorry I just bought a new multimeter for $30... but after reading the whole thread I think I should mention that I'm going to go check my tanks voltage. Bought mine to test my new LEDs and it never crossed my mind to check the tank. Thanks Mark. PS, glad you found...

Maybe I'm missing something but how do you set your Ph to 8.2 with ro water?

If you don't mind losing the RO water (if there was a leak) then it might be easier to stick with your plan. But, if you are limited in the amount of RO you have and there is a leak... then I'd go with Malulu's (David's) plan and test for leaks with tap water first. If you do go this route...

I'll take 3 please!
