My son stopped in over the Christmas break and decided to take a bunch of frags back to Rhode Island. Since we could not find my frag plugs, I told him I had two cases of ceramic tile left over from a job. He simply took a hammer and tile and, with the swing of the hammer, made scraggly...

Sounds like diatoms.

James, you do realize that if we attempt to give Mr. B. a Mohawk, it would be an ideal time for him to use BOTH of his lines: “I pity the fool,” because “I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.” Now he would need to practice using that raspy voice when he says these...

Brandon, refresh my little pea brain….do you have the 700 Glass-Holes (single drain) or the 1500 GH (two drains)? If it’s single, the order is fuge, skimmer, return. If it’s double, I have it set up with one drain in the fuge (right side), the other drain in the skimmer (left side) and the...

Nick, I’m in agreement, but I’d almost think that two of those “Chinese” fixtures mounted up high would be more than enough for his tank. I’m assuming his 210 is a conventional 6 foot tank.

Hey! The guy has a FOWLR! He only needs enough light to see his fish! Why spend tons of money on fancy lights when you don’t need them? Here’s the fixture I had over the 75 gallon freshwater tank I use to have. They are bipin LEDs.

Hmmmmmm. Maybe they are getting married! Are either one of you wearing white? :grin: Brandon, the day you start speaking Vietnamese………..I’ll come up there and plumb your entire house! The least I could do for the newlyweds! :o:o:o:o:o Sent from my ACER using Rapatap....Yo momma

I believe when Brandon eventually buys his little piece of bling, we’ll have to start calling him Mr. B. However, he will have to start saying things like, “I pity the fool,” and, “I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.” And, of course, he will have to pose for a...

Brandon, I’m going to get in my car and come up there and smack you! :grin: That picture you posted was the concept of the siphon break. As you can see, I used one of those fancy draw programs to sketch up what your tank would most likely look like using this concept. Now get busy...

Because. :grin:

I stand corrected. The Hydor Koralia SmartWave Circulation Pump Timer description says: The Smart Wave works with Koralia Nano, Evolution and Magnum as well as other powerheads on the market compatible with ON/OFF programs. It just seems that they are not mentioning (advertising) the...

I don’t see in that link were it states that the Magnum’s are controllable. Also, if you go to the Hydor site, it clearly states Evolution pumps are “controllable,” while that language in not in the Magnum section. I vote NO.

Brandon, I like it! These guys will never cease to amaze me. Just think about how this works Your pump is turned off Water starts flowing back into the sump No more water is going into the overflow box so the pipes going to the sump are air-filled The siphon break “breather tube” is in that...

I think I know the look you’re going for……something not too pretentious…..but something that subtly says, “Here I am.” Something like this And you don’t want 24K gold….too soft, won’t last. And my recommendation for a Jeweler is Ford’s Jewelers……it’s where my wife spends all my...

Hmmmmm. I’d be surprised if Ace had gate valves. Are you sure they weren’t ball. I could see them having ball valves, and maybe able to order gate’s.

Spinal tap…….not fun….but I was in such pain from meningitis and I think they had given me a local before tapping the spine. ……I was sort of out of it. Best of luck! I hope the magic juice helps with your pain. Look at it this way - it’s got to be better than the surgery.

You can find them at any plumbing supply house. I use East Brunswick Supply on Route 18, East Brunswick, and South Amboy Plumbing Supply in South Amboy. I’m sure there are plumbing supply houses in Edison or close by. But for gate valves, be ready to pay 30+ dollars a piece at these...

Thank you Anthony……I would have made Brandon do some of the drilling :)…..gotta learn sometime! Now with those Glass-Holes returns, how are you going to do a siphon break? Or do you have the space in the sump to hold all that volume?

Here’s your answer: "It's very common, in the beginning, that once it starts to change into the adult colors, for it to change back into the Juv colors, specially if there is an aggressive fish in the tank. Eventually this will stop and will go on to complete the full adult colors." From HERE

Juvenile OST’s are yellow. Your guy is still too young. He was probably thinking about it when you picked him up, but jumped back into his yellow color in your tank. They have the ability to color change. How big is your guy….my understanding is that they turn to adult colors somewhere in...
