The fans are working out just fine. As far as ventilating the room, right now I have the windows closed, since they have every window and door open, while they sand. I want to maintain whatever heat is left in the room to keep the tank at temperature. With two 300 watt heaters, I’m not...

Today we are having the floors sanded and recoated with oil based polyurethane. This includes the first floor (except the fish room), the stairs and upstairs landing. I posted earlier about my concern to the fish tank. What I did was seal off the fish room with a thick plastic film that is...

To answer your question, eight 54 watt bulbs over a 90 gallon is enough light to grow anything.

HERE is David's Water Quality Report. EDIT TO ADD: Oops! I just saw that this is one of the links Taz has above. Anyway, the report shows that they are already using chloramines as a disinfectant. Also, if I remember correctly TDS has a recommended upper limit of 500. Once you pass that...

Psycho I was babysitting in the early 60’s in a strange house and the movie started at 11:00 or 11:30….the late night movie. Needless to say, I was wide awake when the old folks came home around 2AM or so. Scared the crap out of me.

Sunny, I believe you are doing this correctly. If it is a “set-able” voltage multimeter, set it to measure AC voltage and a range of 120 volts (or less). Stick one of the metal portions of a probe into your tank….doesn’t matter if it’s the red or black because we’re measuring alternating...

If I understand your sump setup correctly, NO, you only need to cut down the baffle between the skimmer section and return section. The other section on the opposite side will just cascade (waterfall) over the “high” baffle into the return section. Just watch for excess microbubbles.

Bob (Magic), great job organizing this year’s clean-up. To the (I think) nine adults and five children who showed today, great job and loads of thanks. And for those who sat home picking their nose, to quote Edith Anne, “pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.”

I know that girl. I’m pretty sure she will be there tomorrow. Come and check her out. :encouragement: I think I’ve talked my wife into coming…..but it’s costing me. Have to stop for a Dunkin Donuts coffee on the way down and take her out to dinner that evening.

Keeping it topside.

Don, I’m pretty sure we were at lot C last year. There is only one road in and the same road out, so your sister can’t get lost. As she comes on to the hook, it’s about a mile and a half or so of the fee station and clearly marked. Lot will be on the right side. Here’s a map that has it...

Keeping it on the top. Come on people. This is your chance to enjoy a morning at the beach and give a little bit back. I want to see more people step forward and join us at Sandy Hook. I’ve given up working a game in the morning to help out. Now it’s your turn!

Good idea with maintaining positive pressure on the room. Just have to wait and see what the weather/temperature is like the days we’re having it done. Day one, sand, seal and first coat. Day two, second coat. Day three, letting it dry Day four, walk with socks Day five, furniture...

Having all the hardwood floors on the first floor sanded and polyurethaned (oil base), with the exception of the fish room. What’s the feeling about the vapors and effect on my tank? I can close the door to the fish room and maybe crack a window, weather permitting. Has anyone else...

And don't forget windy!

Sid, these are funny videos, but I’m laughing at the fact that you woke up your wife. In my house, that would make you a dead man. Just like my wife, she has school tomorrow!

+1 on mesh socks. I run them under the faucet while rubbing fabric to fabric, and that cleans them up pretty well.

No! You really can’t overdose. If the concentration is too high, it will start to precipitate out.

There is a fine balance between calcium, alkalinity and magnesium. Here are two good reads from the God of Marine Chemistry: 1. Calcium and Alkalinity 2. A Simplified Guide to the Relationship Between Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium and pH

I believe what Mark needs is the nipple that connects two canisters together. It is not a John Guest, but a standard ¼” nipple as seen here: You can get them in brass at Home Depot (don’t believe they have the plastic/Teflon ones there), but I’d highly suggest you pick up a plastic one at...
