    Fish Tunnel

    Continue searching...there is a DIY article of a guy who used clear acrylic pipe to “bridge” two tanks.  Was considering this about six months ago.  No actual contact with the glass.  The piping just runs from one tank to the other, above the water line.  As mentioned, you need to evacuate the...

    Anyone really good at soldering?

    I have an acetylene torch. If that doesn't work, I also own a sledge hammer! ;D

    OMG!!!!

    Only if you can bring in the 3,246 pieces of the poor little bugger and convince them that it just imploded on its own.  That can happen, can't it? Although I still think you have a leg to stand on...isn't their guarantee that their livestock will live for 48 hours. By your discription, poor...

    Anyone can ID this dog?

    It looks like a cross between an English Sheep Dog and a Pit Bull. That's my guess.

    What paint for the inside of a canopy?

    Just don’t get my wife involved...should it be ecru, cerise, taupe or maybe mauve...does anyone know what colors these are...I don’t! I think white makes the mind feel happy.  All lights that I’ve seen have fancy reflectors made of super shiny material.  Painting your canopy white will make you...

    Best Lights for a Coralife Fixture?

    Just switched out a 4 bulb Coralife compact unit with an IceCap T5 unit. It’s like we put in all new corals. Everything is popping out with vibrate color that just wasn’t there under the Coralife. My obvious suggestion, go for T5’s.

    My overflow is making strange noises

    Had a similar proplem with my DIY durso...the little hole in the top had salted up. Used a toothpick to clean it out...problem solved. When the hole gets clogged, water rises until a syphon begins, causing that flushing action.

    What Is It?

    Yes, there are air bubbles...another problem we're trying to resolve...we think it's the spray bar return??? Are you suggesting that the presence of bubbles promotes some unknown creature?

    Ghetto IceCap Retro T5’s

    This saga all began at Ed and Jen’s house during the September NJRC meeting...our first meeting...when the raffle portion of the meeting concluded with the final item, a 660 IceCap ballast. And the winner was.......Ed. However, it didn’t end there. Ed commented something to the effect that he...

    moving tank

    Wendy, details...Did they jack the tank or jack the stand that the tank was on? If they jacked the tank, how did they get the jack under the lower lip of the tank? Whooo...after typing that, I can’t imagine lifting an edge of a tank with more than 15 – 20 gallons of water in it…at 8.3...

    What Is It?

    Here’s another shot…I know not the best…but using less zoom. These things feel like a regular old mushroom. Thanks

    What Is It?

    A bunch of pieces of a mushroom looking dark brown things are growing in the tank on some of the rocks and on the glass. The underside is more grayish in color. When plucked out of the tank, they look like cooked mushrooms you’d have with a good steak. Pictures aren’t the best:

    Can I dip a torch?

    Not sure what zoo recipe you have, but if you use this one: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=9048.msg85779#msg85779 NO! Can't dip LPS's.

    moving tank

    I would not attempt to move the tank with all that weight. However, I would be more comfortable rigging the stand, slightly lifting it, and moving the whole shebang that inch and a half. Then again, I’ve jacked up houses before to put in new main beams that were eaten by termites.

    Bulkhead locations, size and number

    Concept, thanks for the feedback. I really like this manifold idea. Looks like all HD stuff...regular pipe stuff, except for the black split-end flex pieces. Now here’s the question...where do you buy them? And also, pipe size and number of inlets...looks like maybe ¾ inch pipe with six of those...
