HERE’s Harbor Freight’s pneumatic drill. Not the greatest quality, but the price is right. Note that you will need a compressor and hose to run this drill. EDIT TO ADD: Just found THIS smaller and cheaper one. And a pneumatic die grinder HERE.

Darren and Kami, thank you for opening your house and allowing us to gawk at your beautify tank and house. Good food and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. Good stuff. Thanks again

I’m going to guess it’s made of polyethylene, and if that is the case, it’s safe to use (unless it comes from China….they have a tendency to use heavy metals in their plastic fabrications.) I am a little concerned in that the HD info page states that it holds 300 some-odd pounds, while 96...

Well, I went with Gary Player instead of Arnie. :grin:

My comments were based on actual studies performed on golf courses. And you are correct in that agronomists determine application rates on these courses, so the fertilizers are put down correctly. I just looked up the Chesapeake Bay Clean Water Report and there they claim 10% of the nitrogen...

I’m sorry….my fast read did NOT see the “NOT” in your sentence….Doh! How old are the T5 bulbs? And who’s brand of bulb? I’m growing everything under T5’s…although I’m overdriving with IceCaps ballasts.

Yea, he’ll be going around to everyone’s house ringing doorbells with that creepy mug. I’ve already put my baseball bat next to the front door. If he rings my doorbell, he'll definitely get an "immediate response.":grin:

I ask with ignorance, but could it be too much light? How long have you had the LED’s and did you acclimate your corals to the new lights?

Nicely done! Looks great Paul.

Thanks for sharing Mike. That’s a great shot of Olivier’s kid…the facial expression…..it’s really begging for a word bubble saying something….I just can’t figure out what would be best (Note to self: Comb the hair on the back of my head if you see Mike taking pictures.) :grin:

As Willy Wonka so clearly state, “Wrong, sir! Wrong!” :grin: But you are right in that nitrates do pollute our rivers, it's just the source that is wrong. To clarify, the runoff from agricultural fields pollute our rivers, streams (and oceans, if the farm is close to the waterfront)...

Sid, been there, done that….three times over. My recommendation is to not be in any rush closing up the hole. I’m saying keeping it open until the kid is taking showers. If not, we’ll be hearing Chicken Little crying those infamous words once again, shortly after the ceiling is fixed. And...

James, you ask very intriguing questions. As I stated in the OP, this topic would be like opening a can of worms. Grounding probes do offer a benefit to humans. They protect you from being the ground, and allowing current to pass to the probe instead of passing through you. And in regard to...

I wouldn’t feel comfortable with just a little freeze and a little air drying/sun baking. Bryopsis can reproduce both sexually and asexually, one of which is a spore phase. Spores tend to be pretty resistant to death and dieing. Therefore, some type of “execution” is necessary if you want to...

I’m talking VOLTAGE versus CURRENT. Let me try this analogy. Voltage is like a big jar of angry bees. They are in the jar and everybody is happy (well, maybe not the bees). But nobody is getting hurt. Current is opening that jar…the bees flow and the hurt begins. And lights falling...

Saltwater is a good conductor of electricity and if there is a continuous flow of water between the DT and sump, the juice will flow up into your DT. I would speculate that the water going “down” to the sump is gurgling and may not be continuous, but the water going “up” to the DT is a...

George, it’s not a theory, it’s a fact. I’m talking the difference between voltage versus current. If you have a voltage leak….say an exposed wire….there is voltage present. Nothing happens….it’s sort of like potential energy….something could happen, but it doesn’t until it’s converted to...

Grounding Probes came up in another thread and I’m going to be so bold as to open this can of worms on grounding probes. I don’t like them. The only thing they protect is you, and you’ll never know that you have a voltage leak until you see your fish dying. Not to mention that you’re...

SO.......................................did anyone go to MACNA this year?

Tony, If you go to my Tale HERE (post #3, Reply#30), you can see the reservoir I made using a salt bucket and five gallon water jugs. I also have (had) a link to the Aquahub ato DIY kit, but the site crash made that disappear. I did one modification to the Aquahub kit in making my own bracket...
