No Mike! This variety of chickens are related to bats……they roost upside down. :grin:

I'd say 8 - 9 inches here........that I'm loading in my truck and dumping in Darren's driveway!

Pete, thanks for the compliment. I know exactly what you are talking about. I will keep an eye on that over the next few days. I could easily add a ¼” piece of plexi to cover the hole. Here’s what I just noticed now in regard to condensation. I’ve had the blues on for a few hours...

Hey Zippy, not sure what you meant by that…..having worked with China for medical grade plastics, I take that “Chinese” comment as meaning it will contain heavy metals (cadmium, lead, and others). Now realize that most of these metals have much lower levels of oxidation capacity (rust), when...

I NEED A REEFKEEPER 2!!! After having to set up the JBJ 28, I’m getting tired of having to manually turn on lights, play with temperature, etc. I need a Reefkeeper…..an old style Reefkeeper 2. I know many of you young-uns want to connect to your tank controllers and have abandon the...

They are real small....and if I remember, for MP10, they are 7mm x 14mm x 5mm......common use is for a fishing reel.

First off the MP40 has a glass thickness setting, so that’s taken care of. Just make sure you set the thickness for your glass. If it’s in between, go for the thinner setting. But more importantly, with an MP40 in a 40 breeder, that thing will never get close to running at 100%. Mike...

Pete, you make me feel like I’m going to confession to tell my sins. Bless me father for I have nuisance algae in my tank. I won’t worry about it. I have a crop of hair algae in my sump that grows better than cheato. It’s only in the sump (probably because I have tangs in the DT.)...

I guess I'm going to have to sell my LED lights now. I like the powerheads; "Water flow was provided by two 1.5 HP electrical outboard motors."

Actually Matt, you’re not wrong. You are most likely just remembering marketing on sunglasses. Polaroid sunglasses were advertised and sold. Polaroid was just the tradename for polarized film technology. So use Polaroid sunglasses or sunglasses that have polarized lenses…they are the...

If we are talking about a Coralife/Zilla/GE power strip that looks like, or is similar to the picture a few posts back, it doesn't matter if you put it in your attic. No water required for these things to torch-up into flames.

Mike, thanks for the compliment. Another piece of plywood. :o George, maybe I wasn’t clear enough….the new fixture is temporarily hanging in the canopy….acclimating: The old fixture (TauTronics) was used to only take the pictures in post 46, just so you could get the idea of...

Hey Sunny, need I remind you that I’m an old fart, and as such, I meant my life-time…..which, if I’m lucky, is only a few more years. :o So I have changed my will, that upon my death you, (Sunny of Monroe), receive the remaining supply on MAG Flakes that I have….and that is currently 50...

Under $20 for a life-time supply.

It's called MAG Flakes. It's been a couple years, but I purchased it from Edison Millworks and Hardware (a True Value Hardware store) located at 9 Old Post Road, Edison, just off of Woodbridge Avenue (on your way to Middlesex County College)…..(732) 985-2700. Check True Value stores in your...

I ordered a full spectrum dimmable 120 W “Chinese” fixture off ebay. Although unbranded, I think it’s an Evergrow D120…..comes with 90 degree optics. While I waited for the fixture to arrive, I temporarily hung a 120W TauTronics fixture in the canopy. Since it wasn’t dimmable, and...

I use recipe 1, which calls for 2 ½ cups of Dow Flakes. However, if you use an anhydrous form of calcium, such as Preston Driveway Heat, use 20% less……which equals 2 cups. Similarly with recipe 2, if you use an anhydrous form, use 20% less. So if it calls for 1 ¼ cups of Dow, use only 1...

GE also branded these pieces-o-crap power strips. I actually thought these things disappeared off the market years ago. Obviously not. So this is a good thing it’s been brought up again. THIS IS IMPORTANT……….IF YOUHAVE A POWER STRIP THAT IS BRANDED CORALIFE, ZILLA OR GE AND/OR IT HAS...

That picture looks very familiar. Is that a Coralife / Zilla power strip? You might want to check THIS post out.

John, I don’t have the newer adjustable Apollo’s. I have the older, steel box, non adjustable models that are no longer available. (Wait one minute....didn't I buy one off of you?) So I say this with the aforementioned caveats…..these new lights appear to be built a little better…..much...
