Gus, you’re killing me! I’d like the Hanna Phosphate with expire test kits. To recap, I’m looking at; Dimmed ReefKeeper - $40 Orange Spotted Goby with Pistol Shrimp - $25 Hanna Phosphate - $30 Now, if my wife is with me, I bought everything for 30 bucks!

Pretty sure that is a Marineland Cube with dimensions of 20"W x 18"D x 20"H

Wet live sand is still not a problem…either use a big pipe or large mouth funnel. And most likely you will see a mini cycle. I have always been amused by “live sand’ that has been sitting on the shelf of some LFS for 6 months plus. I can’t see how it could still be “live.” Anyway...

Adding stock tank water will do nothing except contaminate your new water with high nitrates and phosphates. Very little bacteria is found in the water column. I'd add the sand and let it cycle. When done, start adding fish, etc. Do you know the trick about using a pipe and funnel to add...

Jing, do you mean the mirror inside the car? We used these mirrors on most of the race cars in our shop.

Try McMaster and Carr....their catalog shows RTV 103 in both cartridge and tube for $9.48 and $5.77, respectively. They have a distribution center at 473 Ridge Rd, Dayton, NJ, telephone (609) 259-8900

I would suggest removing the old because the old won’t look good with the new, and as mentioned, silicone doesn’t stick the greatest to old silicone. I would make sure the glass is squeaky clean of old silicone….use a single edge razor to scrap off all the old stuff. And John, RTV products...

I’m an old fart, so my “app” is a Bic pen and a bound notebook. My biggest problem is finding the notebook from week to week. I just need to find a permanent spot for it.

That would really spiff up the car! I’m free today and have a drill. I could come by and install these for you: I’ll guarantee, you put these on your car and it will “get the looks” from everyone you pass. :o

I don’t know??? Is it me or is Olivier’s rock making an obscene gesture? I can only guess Olivier is making a statement about his old tank being wiped out.

And you don’t have to go crazy-nuts buying the most expensive paint. Here is what I used back in 2008 and it’s holding up just fine…..$0.97/can at HD.

Never used a roller (or brush) to paint the back of a tank....always spray paint. Thursday is supposed to be in th 60's....that's warm enough.

Water changes alone will not maintain alk and calc levels in a SPS/LPS/Clam tank….you need to supplement. Since you are just starting dosing, I’d start on the low side and creep up to where you need to be. This is especially true with ALK. Right now your CALC looks OK, but that most...

Dan, unless something has changed with these fixtures, I do believe it is a 120W fixture. Yes, they are 3 watt LEDs, but they are max’ed out at running at 2.2 watts. I’ve got four of them and they all have 55 LEDs and all are rated at 120 watts. GLWS

I think you have a nice crop of dinoflagellates in your tank.....not bubble algae. HERE is a good read by Dr. Randy.

All dried rock needs to be cured. Now you typically can get away with putting one or a few pieces into an existing tank without curing, but that too can be a crap-shoot. I’ve done it with a few small pieces successfully. You are starting a new tank……Cure it!

I apologized for this mini-hijack, but I had to comment……Mike good to see that you’re still around!

George, the only thing that gets “bare” is that stick you see in the middle-right….an American Dogwood. Otherwise, the American Holly, English Holly, Chinese Holly, Rhododendrons and Azaleas are all evergreens. And how dare you question my engineering :o….oops, hold on, déjà vu moment...

David, not sure what shed you are using, but that shed hold down you show above is for a standard shed with a fixed roof. I’ve used those before in strapping down, typically metal sheds. If you are using the type that Jim taked about, I would suggest doing what is stated in the...

Thanks Pete, Jim and George. Pete, the likelihood of me ever using this generator again is very slim. We have lived in this house for 30+ years and we just don’t get extended power outages in this part of the State. And, if we do loose power, it typically comes back on with a minute or...
