After I installed LEDs on my tank I looked for other uses for these great, energy saving devices. I have been using them for various indication lights since they were invented but now they make them much more powerful and you can use them for general lighting. I am sure that in a few years, they...

Yep ;D

If I knew it was going to be 104 degrees here in NY now, I would have built it larger, but the tank is still about 80 degrees. ;D

Salt creep may be a bit much with that ::)

There is a fan at the top right that blows water over the plates of cascading water causing evaporation and therefore cooling. Here it is over the worm tank

I love that game ;D

I really built this evaporative chiller for my blackworm tank but here in NY it is almost 100 degrees now so I transfered it to my reef for a while. It chilled my worm tank down to 65 degrees but that is only about one gallon. I will see how much it chills my 100 gallon reef. If it works I will...

I am not sure but I can find out. I am not involved in that end of the business, as a matter of fact, I am not involved in almost any aspect of the business, I just invented the thing and let someone else do the business part. I am hapily retired. Majanowand.com is the web site where you can get...

I can also lend you one but you have to come to Long Island to get it. Or of course youi can just order one. I am not sure if any were shipped near you. There are a few hundred of them out there ;D

OK thanks guys, I got it figured out. ;D

Ok I have some 5 volt 20 ma LEDs and I want to run them on a 12 volt power supply. How many ohm resister do I need to make that happen? My electronics school was way to long ago to figure this out. It is not for the tank, it's for my boat.

Use any fish oil for human consumption and any type of sinking pellet

True, I also feed my fish live worms every day but it is hard to feed worms to the corals because the fish see them and pick them out

Maybe it's just me but I have been feeding my LPS corals pellets soaked in fish oil for years and they seem to thrive on it. I also feed other things but this is relatively easy and I like to get as much fish oil into them as I can. Bubble corals, torch corals and candy canes I know will eat...

I give most of it away

This is where I usually gollect shrimp, amphipods, tiny anemones, fiddler crabs and blue claw crabs (for dinner) Perfect fiddler crab habitat. My wife waiting by the boat. (she loves me) And of course friends stop by to help us finish off all the alcohol we have on board. Somebody has...

I have gravel and no fine sand so I stir it like a typhoon a few times a year. The fish and corals seem to love it although I can't see them when I do that. ;D

Today is a beautiful day for collecting. There are no tropical fish yet this time of the year in NY but I go for grass shrimp, worms, snails, seaweed and most of all amphipods. Those things are all over the place, especially on my anchor line. When I pull the anchor, they jump all over the boat...
