dang mav - that stinks. figures that other pygmy angel taught your flame a bad habit or two.

Looking awesome...I love those caps! When will the fish in the QT go back to the DT? or are they in there hiding?

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I was thinking of getting some regular anthia and using photoshop to make them blotchy...do you think that would work? ;) i'm waffling on the tang - if I get one - it will be last in the tank. They are prolific eaters and poopers and...

no experience but do you mind if I ask for a pic of the jawfish compared to a pic of the new fish? curious on the size difference.

I'd guess the sand too but why not hold off on kalk dosing until the sand has "clumped" a bit with the bacteria. Are there corals in there already that you want to boost the CA?

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. oh sorry - I thought for sure I saw a cuke in there and I thought you were being facetious. ;D On the last pic - the sand there looks like it clumped up into little balls...is that poop? Anyways - I forgot to mention that those pics are great -...

The key with the scrubber though will be total volume. The idea of putting the algae on both sides (to double capacity) is a good one - I just don't know if that is enough to handle whatever bioload you have. I've also read that there is a risk of the algae getting into your display - which is...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) thanks!- I will meet up with mav monday to lend him my tds meter. I actually think I might have some of that fake barnacle stuff back at my parent's home in ny. We had that when we had a FOWLR tank...the yellow tail damsel amused us by...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Do I dare ask what "the end" is....as in a cuke's end and the end results of that meal? :-X Everything is looking great! I can't wait to see a FTS. Any pics of your QT? how did the tangs do in there for 2 months? were they skittish?

I see you went away and came back a believer in the algae turf scrubber. I'm not sure i buy the idea of no skimmer or other macro algae - so I guess I am a firm "on the reservation" guy. LOL. Personally not a fan (i am just truly lazy and a believer in an over-sized skimmer) but would love to...

razor - I split your posted question about a DIY skimmer and put it in the DIY section. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=14024.msg129337#msg129337

welcome to the "rat race"! ;) Yes - work - it can be a grind. But it does help to finance our love for this hobby!! ;D ;D I was hopping along a website (i forget where) and mentioned macna in atlantic city - and one guy was like "if i go, i'm going to visit vangvace's tank!". You are...

With a 2" wave though - is the water going down the overflows properly? I can't tell from the video posted.

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Thanks Roy! I just saw this on candi's for sale thread - I thought it was really neat: DIY PVC Burrow for Blenny/gobies At 0.5 to 1.5 mm sand grains - my sand is probably too small and perhaps too shallow for a goby - but with the diy...

the specs read: 1 x sealed TFC (made in USA) 100 GPD RO Membrane no model number - but it's 100 gallons per day.

No hijacking... ;D thread has been split. ;D and I can lend you my TDS meter friday if you're around....or just wait until monday.

I've had LR on my old 55 for the past 4 years - no cracks. Rock was placed on glass, then sand. I didn't do egg crate this go round either - just LR on glass, then sand. Think of it this way - if LR on glass can cause the glass to fail - every body who has a bare bottom tank is a disaster...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I see someone is padding again.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D What can I say - I was an ignorant NY guy with great NY water. All of this RODI stuff is new to me! ;D

Don't put the magnet directly on the sand - try it thru the bag first - see if the magnet sticks to the bag. My mag float "kinda" stuck to the bag. When I dropped the tunze 6200 magnet (the super strong ones) - it attracted the black sand like a science project. I still like the look though -...
