Sad story Phil. My condolences to you and the family of Courtney.

I guess you just have to trust the old couple claiming they got them in 1977 at a fair. That's 34 years at least... but yea, I see your point. Who knows if they're actually that old or it's just a made up story?

Nice Photoshop job! :glee:

Rinsing them is suggested (I guess to remove any small particles that may have been created during shipping, etc.) and soaking them is supposed to give them a chance to absorb water so they don't float in the reactor when you first start using them. I say supposed to because mine have been...

I'd agree with Jim. Take a test on your NSW next batch and see what you get. I think Jim recently compared readings on his old Salifert kits and his new Red Sea kits and the Cal was like 10 ppm difference (Red Sea being lower IIRC.) My point here is that buying a new kit may give you a similar...

Seems Sandee is falling behind. Come on people, let's get her a Victory! I even got my wife to vote. ;)

I've had my pellets rinsing/soaking in Rodi since last saturday, but I never had time to get my reactor setup. Had to put up the Xmas tree and decorations so I ran out of time. :( Hoping to get mine going this weekend.

Stan, what's up with the truck? Is that progress or regress? :grin: Tank is looking great too! Paul, I think you're right. It looks a lot like my Trachy, only a bit bigger. Here's mine for comparison:

Unfortunately, we'll probably never get to see the actual footage of it. First off, I doubt they had any cameras beyond the firing range to capture it going "out of bounds". Secondly, they probably won't want the mistake to be shown publicly to damage the show's reputation and/or due to...

I like this one...

Wow, that's pretty cool. I'm betting Paul B would appreciate that one.

Sorry to hear about the "issues" that are making you sell this sweet setup. I don't know how I'd feel if I had that in my possession and had to sell it. :cry: I wish I had the cash and room in my house to be able to buy it. You might want to add your location so people know how far they'd be...

Thanks for the BoP frag Xavier. It's doing great already and had all polyps out last night. The Zoa looks like there's one head left on there, maybe 2. Hard to tell so far because it hasn't opened up yet... but will probably be by tonight. Hope you like the Purple Bonsai and the Blue Tort...

There's one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet so far about setting up wavemaker/alternating pumps... You need to be careful that your fish can't get inside the powerhead during the "off" cycle of each pump. Otherwise, you could have a fish smoothie feeding the rest of your tank if they're...

Don't think you will get better response than that! Nice post Mark.

I've seen that also Mike. Some of it is pretty generalized and stereotypical, but I'd say most of it is pretty accurate from my travels around the state. Especially the labeling of Camden, that says "Worse than Detroit"... which is actually true according to This Report (second only to St...

I'm already a big fan of your fishcam Sandee, so you got my vote. :encouragement: Good luck!

That's good to hear. I was going to ask you about it, but thought you had more important things to worry about right now. ;)

Ack. Hope everything works out for you John. At least you saved the DT!
