Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Time to go put the stretch pants on. Steve, thanks for flipping me the bird. ;D

Wow…detail, detail, detail. Very nice! I too was into model building when I was young...I was into plastic cars and airplanes that were built with balsa wood and covered with special paper and dope. I would show you pictures but my model building phase was shortly followed by a firecracker...

The comment is questioning whether or not the bulkheads are threaded connections (npt=national pipe thread) OR glued up. The comment about purple is that some cleaners used for glued up connections leave their purple die on the pipe…you know you have good coverage of the cleaner. It looks like...

I don’t know, I’m seeing all that purple pvc cleaner around the bulkheads. That would suggest that they are slip, not npt. Either way, you do have to be careful not to over tighten a bulkhead. That could actually cause leaking by creating fissures in the rubber seal as it “grabs” the glass and...

Sorry...now I see it. Can you get to the flange ring and try to tighten that up?

I think you are confusing a bulkhead with a union. The picture you show is a union. First make sure the rubber o-ring is in there. Also make sure the flat mating surfaces are clean. I also coat the o-ring with a plumber’s grease or pool lube. These are non-petroleum base lubricants that help to...

Can't beat the group buy in May. Who's bags don't you like...and why? I thought they were all pretty much the same poly bags.

Try one of the German Liebfraumilchs.  A Liebfraumilch is a nice semisweet white wine.  The one great thing about German wines is that by law they must include a “quality” label on the bottle.  Google it to find out more but I will tell you that bottles labeled Prädikatswein, (or bottles older...

Re: FREE SIX LINE WRASSE Rich is in Kenilworth.

So some of us met up at Reef Encounter at 504 Hudson Street in Hackensack….by the way, very easy to get to from all the major routes. We came in off the Turnpike and returned by the Parkway, and very close to route 80, 46 and I think 3. We missed you RFD4, but Audi0s, evoIX, Rod, BobnKate and...

I am giving out free advice that was originally offered in the sticky that talks about how this forum works. Please include your location in the subject line of your post. Feel free to add the additional areas that you are willing to pickup. This will eliminate some of the PMs that you will...

What is your location? Thanks, Forum Moderator

Phyl, the one thing I can see is that you need to post YOUR LOCATION IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR POST. Other then that, I'll buy it! ;D

Not so fast. Flow rate through the unit is very important. If the dwell time is not long enough, it will not kill the little buggers. If you go with one of these, make sure your flow rate is within the manufacturers specs for flow. Also, it does not discriminate…it will kill the good stuff too...

Tbone, no apology needed...you did a very nice job answering Gonzapa’s question. Now, how many dozen guppies do you want? ;D

With my limited experience with crypto, it would depend on how bad the fish was infected. If I caught it early enough I’d go with the least stressful approach. I’m convinced that stress is a factor in the fish showing signs of crypto….especially with the ich-magnet fish…Hippos and Powder Blue...

As far as TDS goes, 120 isn’t bad…but that comes with a caveat….TDS only tells you that there is stuff in your water. It doesn’t tell you what that stuff is. So stating that 120 is good or bad really can’t be stated because we don’t know what that mystery stuff is…especially when it comes to...

Anyone interested in flipping guppies to saltwater or want a nice little feeder fish. I have too many juvinile / baby fancy tail guppies that need to go.
