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.
Meg, welcome!
Might I suggest you start a "Tale of the Tank" to give us all the info and pictures of your tanks.
Again, welcome and ask away if you have questions.
No valve!
You say 1 1/2 pipe into the sump….is that rigid pvc or flex (flex would be the best because of subtle bends)? Are there 90 elbows – these add the likelihood of more noise….ideally 45’s work better.
My little Acer Netbook fell off the couch and the battery popped out. I put the battery back in and turn it on and this is what I found:
The screen view had shrunk down about an 1 ¾ inches on the right and about ¾ inches on the bottom.
To attempt to fix this (I have very limited...
Additional comments on your line coming down to your sump from your overflow:
1. Put in a union somewhere on the back so that if and when you want to move the tank, or clean out a pipe, you can do it without having to cut it.
2. That last piece of pipe going into your sump; do NOT glue...
Why is there a valve on the back of the tank? I wouldn’t put it there for two reasons….difficult to get to and the torque created when attempting to open or close the valve that close to the glass could crack the glass.
Bring the valve down into the sump and put it there. This way you can...
And to think that I was going to FedEx you a cheesehead to wear for the SuperBowl!
The Packers are God’s choice. Here is the ArchBishop of New York, Timothy Dolan, preaching to the loyal and faithful followers. Notice the halo around his head:
Daniel, I think you have the same pump I have….a GenX PCX 40 (MAK 4) rated at 1190 gph. If that is the case, I can’t understand why you have it metered down with the ball value closed about a quarter of the way. I would think this pump would be running wide open?? Your overflow should be able...
There are thousands of nudibranchs. HERE’s a link that has a mere 36 thousand-plus pictures of nudi’s. Happy hunting!
You might be able to go the “identification” section and submit your picture.
I have a very large chalice that, after covering the rock its on, is actually “plating” out away from the rock. It is like a typical plate coral, except there are no eyes in this plating part. In the process of cleaning out clove polyps, I snapped off a piece of this plate. Now it has live...
Now I’m not a very bright person, but I think I can figure this one out. So you insulted him in another post and now you’ve done it again…..and what was it you are expecting? Let me scratch my head on this one…….
If it looks like fluffy white cotton, then it’s a fungal infection….it is typical of stressed fish and poor water quality. It certainly is easier to treat than crypto.
Mark, it’s hard to tell from a moving blurry fish, but knowing it’s a tang and appears to be white spots, I think crypto is a good first guess. I’d get that fish into a hospital tank and consider your treatment choices. Or, if you have few or no snails and other inverts, you might want to...
I once again must look to this site’s electronic experts for advice. As some of you know I recently picked up a Samsung Smart TV. I originally was going to buy a new netbook to connect the tv to my computer. I then hear about these Google TV boxes that do the same thing. Here are the two...
