Nate, I question your test kit. If you're around today, I'll stop by with my kit and we'll test your water. A calc level that high, I would almost expect "snow" from precipitation.

I’m a bit concerned that the tank has not cycled. Ammonia and nitrite are very toxic to fish. You need to monitor these two chemicals to assure your tank has cycled. Once they are no longer detectable, and you now have nitrate, the tank is ready for fish. Without using a nitrifying...

Mark, your numbers look good. I have a 12 inch chop saw sitting in my driveway if you want to stop by.

Load distribution....it's not a problem where the tank rests. Better yet, top the stand with a piece of 3/4 ply and it doesn't even have to be directly over the dimensional stuff.

Sunny, have you caught the kraken yet? If so, I’ll bring over the Old Bay and will cook that bad boy up and eat him. I like what George said….attrack him to the light.

Ah-ha, that’s why you knew about the pawn shops in North Carolina…..you were in Fayetteville! There you trip over pawn shops, with one after another. I can only guess they are taking advantage of all the servicemen being deployed out of Bragg, or just trying to survive on an E3/E4 salary...

Ditto. I had to work!

Dave, you beat me to it....I just opened by mail and rec'd the same thing. Now just get it up to the $75 to get free shipping. What the heck, order two and have one as a backup.

If both you guys combine your order at SoCal, shipping is free! That's what I did when I ordered mine....two pumps

Welcome Matt. Start a "Tale of the Tank," and make sure you include some pictures.

Socal in the above post is the place to get replacement Atmans. If you’re in immediate need, I have a brand new one, in the box, that you can have. Just have the new one you are ordering shipped to my house. Let me know.

I’m a mesh sock user. So easy to clean. Run under the sink while rubbing fabric to fabric, and it’s clean. The only reason I run a sock is to keep hard things out of my skimmer pump. I change it out about every seven to ten days. Note I use seven inch diameter socks at either 150 or 200...

I'm an Eheim Yager believer. Quality heaters, but long. My second choice is Sera's...a few inches shorter.

Arnie, don’t know what size tank you want to put the fixture over, but you might want to look at Apollo. Brightlux LEDs and assembled in the US of A….and they are in the three bills area.

In the video he used 8 mls to 1 liter of tank water. Converting this to gallons: 8mls / 1 liter X 1 liter / 0.26417205236 gallons = 30.3 mls / gallon So for half a gallon you would need 15 mls of bug juice. :

As the earlier posts stated, go to Home Depot and pick up a bottle of Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer and use it. Here's a video that explains the use of the stuff. It works!

I have two JBJ 28 hoods that you might be able to rig over your biocube until your replacement comes in. One is a compact flourscent, the other if a HQI. I’ve sent contact info in a PM….I’m right next door in Sayreville.

You say the tail is whitish......Now is this one of Sunny's contests......Even though I don't see it in the picture, I'll say a black spot tang. OK Sunny, what do I win?

Bristleworm!

Wow! That is wild. I wonder if that is the same tank company that built Darren’s first two tanks? :p
