    T5 Bulb Arrangement

    Ed, I’ve got all the parts and about a dozen bulbs. Just want/need to get a light unit up on the tank asap. Without having the ballast in front of me, I see that I mistakenly called it a 440...must be a déjà vu moment from the ’72 Chrysler I had...8 miles to the gallon. I would like to stop by...

    T5 Bulb Arrangement

    Have a five foot tank (actually 59 inches) and will be putting six, 4 foot T5 bulbs over the tank.  Four of the bulbs will be powered by an Icecap 660, and two by an Icecap 440.  Two questions. 1.  What bulb configuration should I use? 2.  What two bulbs (location amounst the six) should be...

    Filter ideas for new 60 G.

    Well the “mechanical” components I would suggest include: 1. carbon reactor 2. phosphate reactor (phosban/gfo) 3. skimmer These can be included in the sump or out of the sump or HOB. If I were to pick one, I’d start with a skimmer. The reactors can always be added at a later time with ease...

    Filter ideas for new 60 G.

    I wouldn’t tell you that you can’t use canister filters on salt tanks…because people have successfully done so. However, I think they very easily turn into nitrate factories if you use the typical media or don’t clean very frequently. I don’t think they are the ideal filtration system for salt...

    difficult fish to keep.....

    All the ones that are still alive in the tank today. Copperband. With the two that we tried, we had the lfs first feed them in the store first to see it they would eat…and they did. When we got them home, the only thing they would eat was black worms…and that was sporatic. No more Copperbands...

    Slow tissue resession

    Realize I say this with ignorance because I don’t use MH’s. Are two 175’s enough light for a four foot 120....isn’t that like 24 inches deep? Especially having them in the sand at the bottom.

    easiest way to raise ph

    Should also be measuring and maintaining magnesium levels....it’s all part of that pH / alkalinity thing going on. If I remember correctly, it should be around 1200 ppm...google it just to make sure.

    Back from Aussie - Video 1

    Film quality is just fine (typical Youtube quality). However, what you need to do is dub in the theme from Jaws. Neat!

    auto repair ?

    A 2004 with its original battery……you need a new battery! I’d plop in a new battery and take it from there. Either way, a 5-6 year old battery, you need a new battery.

    So I should have put down more salt.

    I smell a lawsuit. :o Sorry to hear about this…what a time of year for this to happen. Wow, you better have a nice big shiny bling under the tree this year….in my house, the lawsuit would be the cheapest way out of this. Ed, keep her happy and comfortable. Hope she recovers fast.

    Polluting pets: the devastating impact of man's best friend

    99.7% of statistics are only made up half the time. The other half is correct, with a degree of error of plus or minus 50%, but only when the population is greater than two!

    Polluting pets: the devastating impact of man's best friend

    I’ve dusted off the camo and loaded the 30-06 and Winchester Model 12 into the gun rack in the back of the pickup. Anyone up for a visit to the local zoo to “green” it up? ;D What a blithering idiot. If we kill the dogs, then lets kill the idiots too, and this guy is first. I wonder what idiot...

    what to get the wife as her final gift?

    I apologize for the mini-highjack, but when I read the title of this post, my first thought was a nice urn for her ashes. Then it jumped to divorce papers…Her last gift. Then it jumped to some gift I really wanted that I would buy for her (i.e. a chromed plunge router)…because that would be...
