@diana a , I feel the same way….no such thing as overskimming. If there is nothing there to skim, it won’t skim….but again, their efficiency is down around 25%, so it’s not an issue. When I first started I was into beckett’ed skimmers and on my 90 DT I started with an MRC M1…don’t remember...

24/7 as well. Skimmers are so inefficient you need to run them full time. I also believe they are important for gas exchange.....getting the "bad" gasses out.

Make sure you get the real thing. A is a true peppermint, the rest are impostors. (A) Lysmata wurdemanni (B) Lysmata rathbunae (C) Lysmata ankeri (D) Lysmata boggessi (E) Lysmata pederseni (F) Lysmata bahia

Yep, I had heard about a couple stories of people cooking their rock on a stove....DON"T EVEN DO IT! Marc Levenson shows you how to properly and safely "cook" your rock in this video:

Paul, buying a Chinese-made phone just doesn't seem to fit your American-Made persona. I did a search for you and found an American made phone just for you....and doesn't need a teenager to show you how to use it! :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

Home Depot....and what do you mean by rigid....like the tubing on our RO/DI units? Either way, HD has all different OD/ID plastic tubing. I buy the large roll because it's the same tubing on the sliding board on my pool.

I rec'd a PM that stated dogs snd cats would be exempt. In looking back at the Act I've found contradicting verbage. Some say dogs and cats are included while others state they're exempt. All other pets would be included....birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. Either way, my kids had...

Hard to believe this amendment (as written) will ever go through. It includes transporting any of your pets....yes, that includes Muffy and Butterball....crossing State lines. That would be illegal. :oops: So no vacations out of state with your pets. And if you move out of State...

Check your fan. If the fan isn't working, the lights won't work. Replace the fan.

Kamado and the Bird are getting to know each other..... and here's the bird about halfway done:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Heading there tomorrow. I called to check that they had the inventory....and they did. And I'll definitely check out the whole store. Thanks again.

Bob, thanks for the heads up. I'm in need of salt, and an unnamed LFS in north Jersey use to have IO for $35 for 200g box. When I call they told me it's now 55. Even though Something Fishy is a drive for me, buying 5 or 6 boxes makes it worthwhile. Thanks again.

Sid, a blast from the past....don't want to hijack Paul's thread. Maybe start you're own post or post in the "welcome" thread.....you're new again.

The polls suggest the Neanderthals have a chance of taking over again! Let's hope not. I like my microwave and don't want to step backwards.

The best way would be a wet saw....either a bandsaw such as a Gryphon or a table saw, such as a tile saw. Second best would be a 4 1/2 grinder with a diamond blade (ca $20-25) or a Dremel with a diamond cutoff blade. The one potential issue with the Dremel is that it might not cut all the way...

If I didn't already have these exact two tanks, I'd be snatching them up in a New York minute. As far as storage, I keep mine outside behind my back fence....for the last ten years or so...and that's not an issue. I'm sure you can find a spot to keep them....under a deck, behind a fence...

My guess is too much suction. Here's my setup of Pump, Pipe and Hose. Originally used the Python hose, but it was too long and eventually went with this short section of hose. Use the pump to empty 25 gallons into a 32 gallon Brute....and then use the pump to pump fresh saltwater back into...

Most definitely. For the longest time I started the siphon on my Python by submerging the first 2-3 feet into the tank and then pinching the tubing and quickly pulling out the tubing, leaving the open end under water. I do 25 gallons on a water change and got too impatient waiting for the...
