Wow! Thanks everyone. I’m not sure why I got this. I’ll have to go over to R2R and find out. Interestingly the guy who announced this, I had just corrected him on an error he made in the chemistry section. I’ll have to check the time of the posts to see if he announced this before or...

First make them out of cardboard....easy to trim a smidge.....to make sure they fit.

I say still use the acrylic and just cut it 1/8 inch short.

This is not good news. That means one person aquascaping and a bunch of dirty old men ogling. You'd be better off in a burqa. :o

Congratulation Jose! One is not enough, two is way too many, and three is total insanity. :)

I'm in!

?????? You had to have left out the minimum yearly bulb changes in your calculations. Forget about electric consumption, the bulbs alone make LEDs the light of choice as far as cost.

I believe THIS Budweiser "Puppy Love" commercial won the award for best commercial.

Here are my picks for the Superbowl commercials. Note that I missed about half the game/commercials because I was in the kitchen. GUT LAUGHING FUNNY - The Dale Call SWEET AND LOVING - Cheerios, the Puppy TECHNICAL - Pepsi's Halftime Intro Which ones floated your boat?

Olivier, I believe you have an H&S skimmer. HERE is the RC site that specifically talks about this skimmer. I'm not going to read all these, but a quick skim looks like people have mod'ed the skimmer to fit other pumps. Good luck.

I know this is bit of a hijack, but where is the poison on the Lionfish...is it only in the tips of its fins? I'm assuming it's not like that poisonous puffer that they eat in Japan that has to be prepared by a certified chef.

As you state, the MAG is high, but fortunately that high a level isn’t that damaging. Bring it down by water changes….assuming that high level didn’t come from the salt brand you are using. Your ALK is a bit low. Dependant on who you talk to, you want to target 7 – 11 dKH. Take note of...

Good question Joe. The simple answer, the average salinity of the ocean is 35 ppt. However, if you look at a map of the world, you will see how salinity differs around the world. In addition, the salinity also changes in depth, as seen here: And my final answer, the salt...

Dave, sorry about the mishap. Just an FYI, acrylic actually slightly swells when put in water...so that added to the tight fit and probably was why it eventually snapped.

It most likely is OK. If you would like, and the tubing you have is 1/4 inch, I can bring over my in-line tds meter and check it out. Let me know. Paul

I would imagine that Australia has the same issues with their dredge material as we have here.....it's heavily contaminated with nasty stuff. As an example, the Army Corp of Engineers has been trying to dredge the Raritan River for years. They once again have posted for companies to supply...

Oy vey!

Jim, FYI, the rinsing of food to eliminate phosphate is a myth. I'll see if I can quickly find the link that explains rinsing food being a waste of time. EDIT TO ADD: Found it HERE. If you don't want to read all the chemistry crap, go about 2/3 the way down to, "Rinsing Foods and the...

My Superbowl prediction is that this will be the first and last cold weather game. It seems that so many of the events have been a bust and that now game tickets and hotel prices are dropping because of lack of interest. I also think there is an issue in venue location (in New Jersey) and...
