Thanks Krista....it's an endless work in progress.

Jim, sorry for the loss on the biocube. :( I wish I could figure out your success on Copperbands. I've tried two, and refuse to kill another fish. What is odd is that I have a cousin....long nose butterfly...and he's doing great.....actually a pig...eats everything.

Out with the Old, In with the New Since going over to biopellets, the refugium is no longer needed. In fact, the Cheato that was there disappeared within a month, and the hair algae, that was longer then Fabio's hair, has almost completely disappeared as well. So the thought is to switch...

78 here. I have to run the AC in the fish room during the summer to keep the temp at 78.

No, he doesn't! :grin:

Today was a geat day to tinker. I purchase a used Eheim Everyday Feeder a while back and didn't realize it was missing the mounting bracket until I got home. Well today I made that bracket for the feeder, modelled off of the original bracket. Half inch plexi screwed together with...

Here's another try at a FTS

I'm running a JNS Alpha 2 that comes with the pump attached. As far as I can tell, it can only be run submerged in the sump. Here it is when I first started with half a cup of pellets.

Wow Jim, that is truly running the BP exit port to the skimmer take-up. I only got mine close....maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inches away....the clear tube in the upper right of the picture:

When you first start biopellets, you will want to take GFO off line (and maybe never use it again.) For biopellets to work you need both nitrates and phosphates. If you strip out the phosphates with GFO, biopellets won't work. Those who run both have excessive phosphate. The ratio of...

I use to have a long one, and my complaint was that the hole at the end was very small. I don't know if they are all that way, but the one I had was. I probably still have it somewhere here amongst the mess.

Haven't done this is awhile....full tank shot. I wish I had a decent camera or knew what I was doing. Here is what I got with my little point-n-shoot camera:

Well nothing can be easy. The ring decided to float away. So instead of using a rubber suction cup, I made a cleat out of some scrap acrylic. I'm using an exterior green epoxy coated screw for the first time. Lets see how long it takes before it starts to bleed rust.

Now that's down right dirty! I just read the "MORE" link:

I saw this over on R2R and thought I'd post it here. BRS is selling a "flat packed" 70 gallon cube for $36. So who is going to be the first to buy this a check it out. Might make a nice frag tank.

Ryan, I'm interested in the 24x3W Eshine white blue 1 channel dimmable - 30$. Let me know what works for you as far as pick-up. Thanks, Paul

A great addition to your CUC. HERE's the read on them.

Looks great Matt! Nice job. I'm also willing to bet you passed out somewhere in the house after doing all that in one day. :grin:

So with all this new flake food I have, I thought I'd go back to setting up the autofeeder. The one issue with floating flakes is that too much go down the overflow before it could be eaten. I was aware that Petco had feeding rings on their website, so I stopped into the store. No rings...

Looking great....love all the pictures. Keep them coming.
