Welcome to the show, Jim! I spend a good deal of time in Aquarium Center as well, and if you put one of Dom's kids through college, if he has others, I think I covered the rest! LOL! Post away, you will get alot of really great help and advice here. Great opportunity for you to "meet the...

Hi Ronnie. First things first, have you tested the calcium level in your tank yet? Pick up a good calcium test kit (I use Salifert) and test your levels before you dose anything. I find with my tank most of my parameters stay pretty close to acceptable ranges with minimal water changes, and I...

Hehehe. My wife has started responded with a smart allek remark: "NEED, spelled "I W A N T T H A T". Funny, aint she? See ya at the swap!

If I understand the registration correctly, the registration fee covers you and your significant other. Friends will have to register for themselves. The dual person coverage is designed to engage spouses and significant others who normally would not participate in the hobby and provide an...

I used them to cure live rock in for a couple of weeks, but they bowed so much from the pressure and weight of the water, I wouldn't trust them to hold water for any length of time.

Love the arches. I'll have to take a look at that Marco rock for my next tank.

LOL! I was just thinking the exact same thing! Great tank jazz! I'd love to have the space for a tank that size.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks pnoy!

Thanks John. Hoping to get even more at the frag swap! :)

Thanks Chase.

Yeah, the heat is definitely something I have been worrying about. But, I have been keeping a close eye on the lights the past couple of days as I waited to install them until I had a couple of days off work. With the fan running, I have only seen about a half a degree rise in water temperature...

Some more additions as of last saturday and today. :) These shots are after the upgrade from the T5s to 2x150 MH HQI with 2x24watt CF actinics. I'm not totally happy with the color of the light. I am probably going to add T5s back onto it for supplement. Also started working on my canopy as...

I guess I should have clarified that. :) It is a coralife SuperSkimmer 125, and it is hanging on the side of my 20 gallon sump. I have the sump divided into 3 chambers, so the water level does not vary much if at all on the skimmer side, only on the return pump side. I do have an ATO auto top...

If you bought that computer that long ago, even though the time frame qualified you for a free upgrade, the hardware may have compatibility issues. There have been horror stories of compatibility issues because of drivers with even some of the self assembled "super computers". The other major...

Ok, couple of questions: 1: Skim wet or dry? 2: What skimmer maintenance/cleaning do you perform and how often? I seem to have had an issue with cleaning my skimmer TOO often. I think it could be the main reason I was having so much trouble getting it to run consistently. Every time the cup...

LOL! Was good meeting you last weekend. I'm the one that bought the blue zoas (which was about 4 times as big as I thought it was btw!), and questioned you about what you were treating for with the "blue water". :) Don't forget the frag swap in October! :) I'm in almost every weekend. Tell Dom...

I'd tear that pump apart if possible and clean that too.

Cool website. Thanks for that link!

Wow, awesome stuff! Thanks! She is a beginner, and I think she would like to see "beginner stuff". Planets, etc. I'm going to check out the links you gave and see what comes of it. Budget is DEFINITELY under $1,000. (especially since she wants so much remodeling done to the house and a new...
