Oops! My mistake. I probably should have realized that a Pinpoint meter would be measuring conductivity. I’m not familiar with this specific meter, but they should have included the conversion right in the software/hardware to give you sg. Thanks for the education.

David, I’m assuming your 37 is ppt (parts per thousand), and if that is the case, it converts to 1.028 sg (specific gravity). I used THIS conversion website and also want to point out that they do not mention temperature. Temperature is important in specific gravity measurements, and I believe...

+1 on feeding seaweed. Tangs need this EVERY DAY. I use the sushi type seaweed available at all oriental markets….a half a sheet for three tangs every day.

Alex, very nice....keep the pictures coming. Looks great! Stand plans originally came from Reef Central. Here’s their layout for any size tank. For tanks up to four feet long, all lumber is 2 x 4’s. For tanks over four feet, the top horizontal members are 2 x 6’s. The amount of...

Lenny, a FOWLR can get away with much “dirtier” water then a reef tank. A canister filter is not the best approach for a reef tank….it is what is commonly referred to as a nitrate factory. It traps detritus, which then starts to spew nitrates into the water as the detritus decomposes. If you...

Wow! HERE's a link to his passing. What a shock!

It’s a mixed marriage of a black female (Black Percula) and misbared male ocellaris A little fuzzy, but here they are:

I’m pretty much an idiot and don’t know much about anything, but I have a matched pair that’s about four years old, and the male is less than one inch. I would therefore speculate that a two inch fish has already made the “mistake” of going female. Let’s see if that riles some feathers!

Phil, HERE is the link to the specific keyboard for my model KAV60 Acer Aspire One notebook, and HERE is the YouTube video on how to replace the subject keyboard.

If I don't get a post season game to officiate, I'll be there.

Well if you didn’t start this thread because of your tank’s birthday, then we need to resort to the second part of the post title. So I understand you’ve finally accepted the fact that you’re a geezer! I’m still in denial. :grin: Has “new” gobi found a nice hiding hole? And if so...

It was a little over a hundred clams....for the approximately 15 inch model.

Yes, it is what Greg (whitebird) had. It is a trematode parasite that burrows under the skin and causes a blotchy red rash. With Greg, it was so severe that I believe it put him in the hospital a few times. Part of the life cycle of this parasite is spent in snails….the same snails you find...

I’m also running a MAG 9.5 as a return and a sump setup that is very very similar to yours. I have no issues with bubbles. I agree with some that has already been said….especially about air being drawn in due to venturi effect. Make sure your unions have the O-ring in place. If not...

I all of a sudden lost the use of a number of letter keys on my little Acer Netbook. I was going to order up another netbook, and was perusing Amazon, when I remembered fixing my kid’s Mac video screen by viewing a how-to video on YouTube (She had sat on her laptop and crack the screen into...

Phil, enjoy the day. . . Happy Birthday!

Darren, I agree that they are phenomenal fish. However, I’m sorry, but seeing these fish in person, your pictures do not do these fish justice. In person, they are way more beautiful then those pictures show. And Sid, I’d like mine easy over. :grin:

David, I’d be a bit leery using this tool directly in the tank. As a new tool, it most likely is covered with cosmoline (a rust preventive grease used on tools), and also most likely is packed with pneumatic grease/oil on the moving parts. Most (if not all) pneumatic tools require pneumatic...

Gee whiz......do I hear GROUP BUY! :angel:
