    MP40 or Gyre XF150

    I was running a shallow 60 with low rock work and the gyre did a pretty good job. When I moved to a 90 with higher rockwork it moved water but I had a number of dead spots with singular flow away from the gyre in the top of the tank and towards the gyre lower. In the end I placed the gyre high...

    You should make an entire Steampunk themed tank. I would replace the pictures of my children in my wallet with yours.

    DSA 135....

    Get rid of the greens. It's overkill. I built to the exact same plan for a 4'x8' and it ended up weighing a ton more than it had to. You might be able to ditch half the purples as well. Hopefully someone in the know will drop in on this thread, I know there's a carpenter or two or thee but...

    Growing Phytoplankton at home

    OK, so, this is my rough guide on phytoplankton. Most of it is coming direct from brain to keyboard, checking some references as I go to ensure my memory is correct and I wasn’t delusional at the time, which is rare. Use at own risk. References and a number of great links provided at end. What...

    Hi Shaun, Sorry for the late reply. Hope you've done your research and know what you're getting into.

    Flooring/carpeting - anyone involved?

    Thanks for the replies, and thanks for the generous offer Mike. As I'm not going to be able to rip up the carpets myself, I just mentally bundled the whole removal and installation together. I'll snag some friends, or hire someone, to do the carpet removal and I'll look into doing the...

    Flooring/carpeting - anyone involved?

    Been feeling pretty bad last few months. Informed today that my degrading health is being caused by a chronic allergic reaction (indirectly) to the carpeting in the house we recently bought, so I was advised to rip it all out and go with hardwood or laminate. Anyone here do this kind of work or...

    Phyto & Pods

    Joe, I'm raising everything. I have Amphipods, Copepods, blackworms, and three different phytoplanktons going (each phyto is a different size and profile - one for immunity, one for growth, and one for Omegas). On my normal nightly feeding I'll soak a small piece of home made food, add an...

    Excellent app. Downloaded earlier. Checked sales and stock. Found an anem and used app to contact them to hold a piece for me.While there John activated my 'scratch game' on my phone and I won some cleaning cloths. Picked up my anem and then proceeded, as usual, to buy a few other things while...
