I remember hearing about that place before I joined the club...by the time we finally decided to go, he was already closed...sorry to hear that he passed...way too young.

Welcome, Dave. Get that certification, you won't regret it!

Welcome, Dave! You should find all the help you need here. :)

Sounds Good!

Great idea, I'll have to give it a shot.

Roll up my sleeves and get soaking wet! Actually I have a pair of tongs that I use when I drop things on the bottom...it's still not easy though!

Happy Birthday, Matt!

Ok, this may sound dumb...How do you test what the PH in your first chamber is? My effluent comes out of my second chamber only. Are you just disconnecting the hose that connects the first to the second and testing there?

We had a great time (as usual!) It's always nice to see everyone, and it was great to bring Genevieve to her first meeting :D Here are a few pictures from the day:

Welcome! Tank looks great, I really like all the different zoa's mixed together like that.

I would try moving it down a bit, I have 2 different hydno's and they are both well away from the light.

I think copper is fine with fish, it's the corals that can't tolerate it.

I've heard of people who have replaced the center brace with an acrylic strip, they left a small piece of the old brace in then drilled 2 holes in each side and screwed in (with nylon screws) a strip of acrylic.

I've had this happen twice in my system...and I still haven't figured out what the problem was...I've lost tons of $$ (and some beautiful fish!) to this problem... Hopefully you find out the cause of it, or else you will be like me and constantly wonder if it's going to happen again.

Sorry for your loss Danny, it's never easy losing a family member. and I agree with Phyl...that's a giant skimmer!

FWIW I have an acrylic 225g tank, I would stay away from acrylic if I were to buy another tank. It scratches VERY easily...and using a credit card to scrape off coralline algae just doesn't cut it. Even the plastic razor blades make it a chore. Unless of course, unlike me you can be diligent...

Both of your chambers drop? My second chamber has lost 2" (or less)...while my main chamber has been completely replaced with new media. hmmmm...

I always thought the second chamber was to help blow off excess Co2? I also have a dual chamber unit, and would buy the same again.
