Don, I’m pretty sure we were at lot C last year. There is only one road in and the same road out, so your sister can’t get lost. As she comes on to the hook, it’s about a mile and a half or so of the fee station and clearly marked. Lot will be on the right side. Here’s a map that has it...

Keeping it on the top. Come on people. This is your chance to enjoy a morning at the beach and give a little bit back. I want to see more people step forward and join us at Sandy Hook. I’ve given up working a game in the morning to help out. Now it’s your turn!

Good idea with maintaining positive pressure on the room. Just have to wait and see what the weather/temperature is like the days we’re having it done. Day one, sand, seal and first coat. Day two, second coat. Day three, letting it dry Day four, walk with socks Day five, furniture...

Having all the hardwood floors on the first floor sanded and polyurethaned (oil base), with the exception of the fish room. What’s the feeling about the vapors and effect on my tank? I can close the door to the fish room and maybe crack a window, weather permitting. Has anyone else...

And don't forget windy!

Sid, these are funny videos, but I’m laughing at the fact that you woke up your wife. In my house, that would make you a dead man. Just like my wife, she has school tomorrow!

+1 on mesh socks. I run them under the faucet while rubbing fabric to fabric, and that cleans them up pretty well.

No! You really can’t overdose. If the concentration is too high, it will start to precipitate out.

There is a fine balance between calcium, alkalinity and magnesium. Here are two good reads from the God of Marine Chemistry: 1. Calcium and Alkalinity 2. A Simplified Guide to the Relationship Between Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium and pH

I believe what Mark needs is the nipple that connects two canisters together. It is not a John Guest, but a standard ¼” nipple as seen here: You can get them in brass at Home Depot (don’t believe they have the plastic/Teflon ones there), but I’d highly suggest you pick up a plastic one at...

Being able to buy Koralia 1400’s for under 50 clams, I’ve always said to myself, ”I can’t believe there are idiots who are willing to spend almost ten times more for Ecotech MP40’s.” Well I guess I am shortly going to become one of those idiots! Although, with Paul’s sale, I guess I’m not as...

Hey, why do you think I enlarge the stuff I post! :o Actually I got the four degree difference assuming his target temperature was 78, and the tank was getting up to 82. If we take Brian’s decimals into account, it actually is 4.4 degrees. But what’s a few tenths amongst friends? I round...

If I’m not mistaken, a “standard” overflow in this size tank has a 1” diameter pipe going down to the sump and a ¾” return. Gravitational flow through a 1” pipe is roughly 660 gph. This is a rough estimate assuming PVC pipe and relatively short distance with minimal elbows, valves and unions...

Something’s not kosher. 82 degrees with LED’s?? How hot is the room? Granted, MAG 12’s consume 110watts each, but that still wouldn’t cause 82 degrees this time of year. I’m running T5’s with a MAG 24 and MAG 9.5 and have no problem with heat this time of year. Anyway, a fan or multiple...

Phil, good stuff. When we travel I’ve always visited local aquariums, but never though about looking up LFS’s. Thanks!!

Assuming you looked HERE.

I have a question about one of you items. If the calculus homework is half done, and your rate of completion is ten minutes for the first problem, 9 ½ minutes for the next, 9 for the next, etc., how long will it take to complete the remaining problems? Show your work. :grin:

No aggression what so ever unless you have another angelfish in the tank.

I'm nowhere near an expert on this, but let me explain my logic in the choice of closed loop versus power heads. Once you install (drill) for closed loop, the location of the outflow pipes are fixed. As you do your rockwork or as things grow out, that’s it, the outflows stay where they were...
