Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Phil, I’m at a loss for this one as well. And the 15 and 17 year old knew that 12 year old girl as well. I just don’t understand kids today. I’m at a loss. I sympathize with the little girl’s family as well as the family of the two kids who killed this poor little girl. What a pity...
If your willing and able to QT your sps, I’d first dip them (10 – 15 minutes) in Bayer Advance Complete Insect Killer…..8 mls per liter of tank water. And I’d do that every week for at least three weeks. This stuff doesn’t kill eggs, so that’s why you have to do it over a three week period...
YOU are not OK, but your tank is. When YOU stick your hand into that "electrified" tank, you now become the ground, and the current flows......through you.
Controversial…..Here’s my two cents…..and I’ve felt the tingle.
You have volts and you have current. The presence of voltage without current is like a bird sitting on a wire…..loads of voltage, but nowhere to go. This is like your tank with a voltage leak….without a ground.
Current is...
They look like the "Chinese" LED's folks talk about. My only concern would be if they had aluminum cooling plates inside. If not, I'd be a bit leery. Take a look at Apollo LED's.....assembled here in the USA...with cooling aluminum....assembled right here in PA.....with knockout PAR.
Now I understand. Are the barbs installed with teflon tape or pipe dope? That could be leaking. Are you using two clamps per barb? Leaks could be coming from there. Just guessing not seeing the setup.
WooHoo! Congratulations!
Now forget about the tank, I need to talk to you about finances…..a new kid….a new house….and now an upgrade to 120 gallons before you even move into that new house. I’ve got the wrong financial advisors. :(
A MAG 18 is killing it! Here’s my concerns:
1. Turnover rate in the DT…even if the overflows can handle it.
2. Flow through rate in the sump/refugium…white-water rafting anyone?
3. Heat generation and electrical consumption.
A MAG 9 would be more than sufficient.
I'd still be a bit...
I painted the back of my tank with the best paint money could buy……$0.99/can at Home Depot:
Realize there is no wear or stress factors with this paint job…..it just hangs there. I painted my tank about four years ago and it still looks like new.
