We had read somewhere to tape pictures of clowns hosting an anemone to the side of the tank. We taped one of those electronic picture frames to the side of the tank that rotated different pictures of clowns and anemones. It sounds crazy, but now both our clowns are living in a RBTA.
We feed ours silversides...once a week or once every two weeks...when we think of it. It does "feed" off the lights but still needs meaty foods to grow.
Dan, I don't get it. I clicked into your photobucket folder and saw three pcitures. Here's one:
And what I did to put that picture here was:
1. click on "IMG Code"
2. hit Control C (to copy that code)
3. go back to NJ Reefers post page.
4. place my cursor where I want the picture
5. hit...
I think this beats Malulu's "Wavemaker made easy" (http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=13714.msg127369#msg127369) because this one doesn't require any soldering. Now if only I could figure it out!
The sump was overfilled because salinity was a little off...
It certainly helps putting in established rock, but five days.....
Sit back, relax, wait some more.
The general run is going slow wins the race.
If you're in to potentially killing things (I'm not), you can pick up a cheap fish and throw in it there and pray.
This has been discussed in the past and there are mixed feels about using them. Try using the search area above to find the old posts.
If stray voltage has no were to go, there is no current flow. Once you throw a probe in there, you now have completed the circuit for current to flow...i.e. you...
No experience with MH, but do have IceCap T5 units. With T5's, IceCap overdrives the bulbs. Is this possibly the case with MH as well? If they are being overdriven, than that's the reason for the color difference.
I won't comment whether or not it works. In a nutshell, what it purportedly does is supply a food source for the bacteria to proliferate, thereby reducing you nitrogen waste products (ammonia/nitrite/nitrate).
Welcome. By the way, I too like the idea of doors on the end to easily move the sump in and out. One comment on your stand build...it appears the upper frame, which will hold the tank, is supported by the fasteners only (probably screws), through the upright 2x4's. You really don't want the...
Crap! Another weekend refereeing soccer games down in Neptune. Unfortunately I won't be able to make this months meeting. I think at this point John and Bill will have stuff from three group buys for me or Jon....GFH, Glue and Bags and stuff from PA. I'll have to make arrangements.
I have no idea if it would work, but how about those scratch/chip fillers for auto glass. They sell for about ten bucks. I know it's base on acrylates (similar to one-drop super glues). Have no idea how it would hold up on a tank...salt water.
I haven't seen a sandpaper that could withstand glass. I'd be curious as to how you make out. I'd actually try grinding it using a wheel for glass...with great care not to over heat the spot being ground (keep the grinder moving).
As far as drilling...just make sure the glass isn't tempered...
