I use the MRC MR1 with an extension riser. I would probably pass on it if I were given the same chance again - though $125 is a very good price. My thoughts are it is finicky - a hand in the water will cause the skimming to stop. One thing I really like about the MRC is the waste collector...

as long as you guys don't blow up giant helium balloons and claim a 6 yr old is in there - i'm sure the cops won't bother.... :o of course now the FAA is filing charges...d'oh. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-media-balloon-boy19-2009oct19,0,5213142.story

Scott - i've sent you a pm. If you still cannot get it to work - send me an email and I will post them up for you. Then we can analyze the plumbing while you figure out the photobucket.com stuff...lol.

you need 5 posts. Sorry if I laugh - but instead of trying 12 times - you should have just posted out loud in the forums. Try it now - should work fine.

ammonia/nitrites should be kept in check by your LR. Nitrates are taken out by dilution/water changes. Carbon is ideal for keeping the water "clear". My 2cents would be to use GAC (carbon).

On my way to visit family in the city - we stopped by here last month. I mentioned this in my tale but forgot to post here. Unfortunately they were right in the middle of construction and they were cutting this tank horizonally in half (using sandee's pic) to make a shallow frag tank: I...

I forgot to post that I swung by here 2 saturdays ago and my daughter and I enjoyed the place. It's still in "new-store" mode/new tanks etc but so far I liked it a lot. My daughter could not stop talking about the bearded dragon and the beautiful parrots being weaned. I picked up a few conches...

Scott - Can you post up some pics? That would help.

when i purchased the AWI typhoon3 - it comes with a free hand-held. Shoot me a pm - I could just lend you mine for a while.

Anthony is up in north jersey I believe - and I hate to say it but the only good game up there would be AF. So if you have to go - best to go when they have a sale. Is this the store you went to for your FW stuff Anthony?

Hey - I have some TYREE LE Garf Grunge! lol.

For the record - they participated in both the njrc frag swap last year and the macna conference. I am sure the officers have asked them to be a sponsor already.

Besides zoas, mushrooms - I would also suggest looking into star polyps (e.g. GSP), xenia (not easy, but for some people it grows like a weed). I would also suggest some LPS to provide some height - such as Frogspawn or hammer corals. But the most important piece of advice is to go slow. You...

This is the 4th batch of eggs laid. I did not notice any mating behavior yesterday - but I wasn't really watching. I did notice the female looked kinda big around the tummy area. Anyways this time I am setting up two cultures of rotifers and will see if I can get any past the metamorph stage...

beautiful but insane price.

i have two maximas. Yellow coris wrasse...no issues. I've heard people have problems with blennys and clams - not so much wrasses. Some people get wrasses for the purposes of killing any tiny pyram snails that may attack the clam. The downside to this though is that all wrasses eat during the...

told by the inspector? we had problems with the masonry in the house we purchased and decided to bite the bullet and pay for a stainless steel liner.

no. you could have twenty regular NO lights on top of a frag tank - and that will not add up to a single vho bulb/PC or single T5.

welcome! no experience with either but another alternative would be "dry" rock from Marco Rocks. A 26g shouldn't require a lot of LR...with the shipping and all - you may be better off checking out the LFS. Just be warned that I've seen new folks hit the store but come back with rock cover in...
