    29gallon newbie

    The royal gramma i have is a bit shy and tends to hide unless food is in the water column. I can't recall exactly but we've had the guy for about 2~3 years...still in my old 55 gallon. It's not like he swims the entire 55 gallons - it's more like he has one spot he likes and stays there. So I...

    Skimmers for 29 BioCube

    Again - I could be totally off - but I presume that folks that get nanos aren't looking to also setup another reservoir underneath the nano... If I were to choose between a refugium and a skimmer - it would depend on the quality of the skimmer - and I would lean toward a skimmer. My thoughts...

    Setting up a sump/ need help with return pump

    This may sound like a dumb question - but why are you setting up a sump on a 20 gallon? I was thinking about all those nanos that are like 24gallon aquapods and I don't recall any of them setting up a sump with it. Couldn't you use the space that the HOB overflow would be and place a hob skimmer...

    Skimmers for 29 BioCube

    I could be totally off on this - but with a semi-frequent water change schedule - you could avoid having the need for a skimmer. That stated, I thought the aquapod comes with everything built-in? Never used the tunze skimmers but read a lot of positive on them - the customer service is excellent...

    ID? Mystery Coral

    This is the one I (bad pic) had from my tbs rock: They were just dents and only after being in the tank did they come up - possibly because there was a slight ammonia presence when part 2 (when I got this) was introduced. This is a pic from coastal planning & engineering in Florida. It only...

    LED Failures

    pure hypothesis - but a) the quality of the LED bulbs is inferior to say the ones being manufactured for the Solaris fixures. b) the LED bulbs are adversely impacted by the main display lights (MH heat etc). c) while they are rated for 10,000 hrs - perhaps they are not rated to go full output...

    You might want to read this because of high concentration of this in our tanks

    Re: You might want to read this because of high concentration of this in our tan I was trapped on a plane and after it was over I heard loud groans in the back complaining about the movie!!!

    ID? Mystery Coral

    It looks like Cladocora arbuscula (tube coral). But eh - I find it interesting that you say yours "grew"...tube coral the skeleton is pretty slow to grow out - hence when you said they spread - it made it sound like aiptasia. Perhaps you are lucky - most people that I have seen with this type...

    Infamous Movie & TV Lines... Guess and win the pickle

    SInce no one responded and I had no clue I had to google it. Larry the cable guy. How about this one - it is probably the best line in the movie... "Hey, maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our [expletive removed] kicked, pal!" edit - just in case you wanted a...

    Re: You might want to read this because of high concentration of this in our tan LOL - well I couldn't think of another movie with Dihydrogen Monoxide in the title... At least I can kinda figure out the plot to that movie - unlike M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Dihydrogen Monoxide. I can...

    Durso Pipes / Bulkheads...or Megaflow?

    The tank has dual overflows - each has a drain and return hole - but no bulkhead. Thanks for the info! John - it's happened to me enough so I am scrupulous about checking my cc statement monthly - and I'm the first to protest a charge. A while back (before the clampdown on air travel) I had...

    Durso Pipes / Bulkheads...or Megaflow?

    well i'm tossing it because the Dihydrogen Monoxide is just too risky. ;D seriously though - it is drilled with dual overflows already (aga) - but I wasn't sure what size I was supposed to get. Do I just take a tape measure to it?

    Oceanic Gallery (Rt 22)

    It's not too far from my work - I can swing by and try and get an exact address on Monday (unless someone here can post it). But from this point you are not too far from Red Sand, which is a sponsor of our board in Dunellen.

    Re: You might want to read this because of high concentration of this in our tan Clue for those not up to chemistry... It is solid at 0 degrees celsius. This post is indeed a sneaky one!!! Good thing kevin costner didn't use it in his horrible movie... Dihydrogen Monoxide World!
