My tank is doing so good, I can’t help but keep taking pictures. Some of the ones I did today turned out great, so I wanted to share: These guys are so hard to get a good picture of with my point and shoot. My guess is the sand is so bright that the camera processing makes them dark. Xenia...

Some pics from 6/28/07: FT Pic. All extra equipment out of tank. Just 2 powerheads and the fuge pump. This one is the favorite of all my zoos. It incidentally hasn't been open like this for about a month: Believe it or not, these are supposed to be brown yellow and pink. Funny what being...

Beautiful!

Looks awesome!

Or just go here and use their memory search by manufacturer: http://www.kingston.com/ Kingston makes decent memory, and it's relatively affordable.

There's no chance to take. Here: Go to staples or best buy or costco or compusa or an online vendor and buy a stick of memory that you can return. Just a gig of PC3200 would suffice. Buying locally will be a little more expensive, but should still remain under $100. Take it home, pop open...

I personally thought it was very cheesy. The silver surfer was awesome, but the marriage, love story, friend story, well that I'd give a low c. Maybe even a d+. :)

Yeah, me. I told you what to get and how much to expect to pay for it and that high density doesn't mean anything. Now go buy some memory and don't worry about the extra advice about paintshop vs. abode cs3. :)

Yeah, just get a stick of pc3200. A gig would be plenty. High density doesn't really mean anything in the standard desktop market as far as memory goes. A gig is a gig...only the speed is sometimes different, and if you get PC3200 it's fully backwards compatible with the other 3 or 4 types of...

Go here: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php Click on the download link on the top left. Open the program. Go to the 'SPD' tab Should give you everything you need to know. Is this a desktop or a laptop? another 512 megs shouldn't be too expensive. $50 at most, I would think. Shipped. Also, do...

That's the ticket! And pull out as much as you can by hand, if you have some time. Or don't...let her grow till she runs out of food. Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia! If nothing else, it keeps the water clear. ;)

Almost a month later than the last pic:

Some shots from today. Spent some quality time cleaning on the tank after I took the tests (everything that should be zero is, alk was 2.5 and calcium was ~400): Happy fishies...although that one guy does look like he was caught with his pants down: Side view w/ hawkfish 'Petey':

Believe it or not, I have a phosphate test kit, and it's always read either 0 or the next step up on the test kit (whichever that is), even when testing the water before i put it in the tank. I've heard silicates can cause the same type of problems, and that I have no test kit for, so it's...

Thanks Carlo, I'm just going to change over to RO/DI and keep pulling it out for a while...see how that works out. If it doesn't work out...well, then I might have to start buying stuff. ;) PS - all my levels are 0 where they should be and calc/alk are in good shape.

? ??? ???

While I would normally agree with you, my plans are to downgrade to only the 29g tank. And if that happens, I'll probably use $10/month worth of water. 10 gallons or so. It looks like the smallest RO/DI I could get would produce 75g a day and cost over $100... Just not sure if that's a good...

Yeah, but I couldn't take the constant scolding for putting a tang in a 29g. ;) I think I'm just going to do a few large (33%) water changes over the next few weeks with Eagle's water and see how that does. Hopefully I get to a point where the chaeto is eating up all the extra nutrients in the...

After a few hours of algae pulling, tank cleaning, and ~33% water change: The store up the road from my house (Eagle Reefs) (~15 mins) sells Ro/DI saltwater for $1.25/gallon....so I bought 10 gallons. I'll probably just start using his water...After this all gets settled down, 5 gallons...

Yep...she's a real show winner. Maybe I'll submit it for Reefcentral's tank-o-da-month! At least when the grass waves around, I can see the open corals inside, so things aren't a total loss. Funny, though...I really thought the macroalgae would alleviate this type of problem. Guess not. Ha.
