    Bit of a disaster (& HC update)

    Going to be looking into these options with the new tank. Matt, Same thoughts. Generator no good unless I'm here to turn it on.

    Bit of a disaster (& HC update)

    As we pull into our driveway tonight, at 7:45, our neighbor informs us there's no power. I ask him how long the powers been out, he says 'since about 9:30 this morning. At just after 8pm power returns. Taking stock of damage in main tank after 11 1/2 hours without power... Filefish didn't make...

    Sea Hare for adoption Gone

    Big thread edit. Complete re-write... Have 2 big 'dwarf' sea hares. They're so ugly they're adorable, in a slimy monstrous way. As most shop dwarf hares I've seen are tinyish, I picked up 2 to raise them for a bit on algae and nori, adopting one out when it got a bit larger. They arrived full...

    HOB Algae scrubber

    OK. I'll build it once the monster tank is done. Gonna LED this ^&^$%&^#^%$& up and paint pinstripes on it. And those LEDS were. as expected, garbage. I now have much more powerful LEDs on hand. Like the kind that is really bright if you look at it and if your friend says 'close your eyes' and...

    Overflow advice Durso/Herbie

    I thought about the return to the swirls from the overflow, but the limited real estate inside the overflow limits options to smaller pumps, which defeats the purpose of the swirls. My thought of the return before the skimmer is to restrict the flow through the skimmer. Initially I figured I...

    34 Gal Deep Blue Frag Tank w/ Advanced Acrylics Sump & Fluval Spec V

    'Money tree in reef hobby is not what you seek. Need money forest you do.' - Confucius impression of Yoda at Reefapalooza 592BC Nice tank, great price! If I wasn't tackling the new monster I'd be picking this up as a display fragger.

    Very nice. I keep trying, but most stuff I make tends to end up looking like a kids gold painted macaroni and macrame project.

    The 120 I said would never happen

    J, Good suggestion and I went to follow it. NOne of the stores woud actually bend the conduit for me. I was going to pick up a bender (heh), use it and return it, but then I couldn't find any decent cap offs for the conduit ends. The successful but meh hanger project Episode 1.0: It'll work...

    Overflow advice Durso/Herbie

    OR, what about stealing the water for the swirls back before it gets to skimmer? Something like... Still would appreciate thoughts on Durso/HErbie combo or just Herbie, as well as thoughts on above 2 plumbing options for flow.
