Well if you didn’t start this thread because of your tank’s birthday, then we need to resort to the second part of the post title. So I understand you’ve finally accepted the fact that you’re a geezer! I’m still in denial. :grin: Has “new” gobi found a nice hiding hole? And if so...

It was a little over a hundred clams....for the approximately 15 inch model.

Yes, it is what Greg (whitebird) had. It is a trematode parasite that burrows under the skin and causes a blotchy red rash. With Greg, it was so severe that I believe it put him in the hospital a few times. Part of the life cycle of this parasite is spent in snails….the same snails you find...

I’m also running a MAG 9.5 as a return and a sump setup that is very very similar to yours. I have no issues with bubbles. I agree with some that has already been said….especially about air being drawn in due to venturi effect. Make sure your unions have the O-ring in place. If not...

I all of a sudden lost the use of a number of letter keys on my little Acer Netbook. I was going to order up another netbook, and was perusing Amazon, when I remembered fixing my kid’s Mac video screen by viewing a how-to video on YouTube (She had sat on her laptop and crack the screen into...

Phil, enjoy the day. . . Happy Birthday!

Darren, I agree that they are phenomenal fish. However, I’m sorry, but seeing these fish in person, your pictures do not do these fish justice. In person, they are way more beautiful then those pictures show. And Sid, I’d like mine easy over. :grin:

David, I’d be a bit leery using this tool directly in the tank. As a new tool, it most likely is covered with cosmoline (a rust preventive grease used on tools), and also most likely is packed with pneumatic grease/oil on the moving parts. Most (if not all) pneumatic tools require pneumatic...

Gee whiz......do I hear GROUP BUY! :angel:

HERE’s Harbor Freight’s pneumatic drill. Not the greatest quality, but the price is right. Note that you will need a compressor and hose to run this drill. EDIT TO ADD: Just found THIS smaller and cheaper one. And a pneumatic die grinder HERE.

Darren and Kami, thank you for opening your house and allowing us to gawk at your beautify tank and house. Good food and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. Good stuff. Thanks again

I’m going to guess it’s made of polyethylene, and if that is the case, it’s safe to use (unless it comes from China….they have a tendency to use heavy metals in their plastic fabrications.) I am a little concerned in that the HD info page states that it holds 300 some-odd pounds, while 96...

Well, I went with Gary Player instead of Arnie. :grin:

My comments were based on actual studies performed on golf courses. And you are correct in that agronomists determine application rates on these courses, so the fertilizers are put down correctly. I just looked up the Chesapeake Bay Clean Water Report and there they claim 10% of the nitrogen...

I’m sorry….my fast read did NOT see the “NOT” in your sentence….Doh! How old are the T5 bulbs? And who’s brand of bulb? I’m growing everything under T5’s…although I’m overdriving with IceCaps ballasts.

Yea, he’ll be going around to everyone’s house ringing doorbells with that creepy mug. I’ve already put my baseball bat next to the front door. If he rings my doorbell, he'll definitely get an "immediate response.":grin:

I ask with ignorance, but could it be too much light? How long have you had the LED’s and did you acclimate your corals to the new lights?

Nicely done! Looks great Paul.

Thanks for sharing Mike. That’s a great shot of Olivier’s kid…the facial expression…..it’s really begging for a word bubble saying something….I just can’t figure out what would be best (Note to self: Comb the hair on the back of my head if you see Mike taking pictures.) :grin:
