LMAO!! I can always count on your threads for class A humor Jim. I hope you made it through the storm with those lights out so long. It broke me for the time being. Fortunately, I had been very conservative with my livestock lately. The sad thing was I was just getting back into the swing with...

Hey Olivier - So sorry to hear about your losses through this. You did a phenomenal job with your system. I will pm you my numbers when the time comes when you need help. I work ten minutes away and am in Boonton on weekends. On weekends I may need to clear it with the Mrs. for childcare...

Sorry to hear about those who had losses like myself. It is good to hear about noone being physically harmed at this point but a tough one to hear about folks like Madreefer and his hardship. I had no internet and cell reception through the five day outage here. I gave it my all to manually...

Hey all, Without power still, I need to find a home for a mated pair of gold stripe maroon clowns. I also have about 6 small hardy sps corals, if room allows. I have refused to give up on these clowns as they deserve the best I can. I'd slept no more then 2.5 hours at a time blowing bubbles and...

Nice product and incredible macro shots from Meleev there, although I am using a small palm sized camera, so I am not sure this would help. In fact, thinking about it more I am not sure what I am looking for as these other guys are going right into the water with waterproof cameras I'm having a...

Hey Ed - Anytime I try to post on any forum or send PMs I immediately get the message that access denied and notice that my user ID and password is unpopulated. I would think that if it was strictly an issue with my employer's firewall that I would not even be able to log in to begin with. This...

Hey guys - I understand there is a device out there thatcan be submerged with a camera inside to help improve picture quality. Ihad seen it at a couple reefer's places at meetings. Unfortunately, the reeferthat held the last one is not currently in the hobby. The camera I have is aLumix which...

I could really use some help. I am currently able to log-in at work, but when I go to post on any forum or send PMs, I get a message back saying 'you are unable to post in this forum'. I then see that I am no longer logged in. What gives here? I am hoping someone may have some guidance they can...

Nice move by doing your build. I envy you for that! I recall spending substantial time deciding between the Mag 9.5 and Eheim 1262. I have a 75G and 35 Gall frag tank. I decided to go with the Mag 9.5 primarily because of the cost and regretted it after going through too many replacements...

Hey Steve - I am sure you probably tried this, but did you ever buy three or four peppermint shrimp and throw them in? I had between 75-100 visible in my reef and was starting to go route of trying to eradicate them one at time by kalk dosing and the lye method. I stopped in frustration and...

Jim - Thanks so much for the updates. I can always count on LMAO at your witty quips. (i.e. about people having to tackle the waiters etc) I had the time of my life at our Macna as well. It was the only one I have attended. I carried along some serious guilt by attending it without helping...

Hey Steve - Interesting thread. Thanks for being the impetus for it! So I see your are embarking on new tank. (I have been away from things for a while) I'll be sure to watch what you have cooking up there in other threads. Bob

Also, I have always gone on the premise that Ph of 7.9-8.4 is a good range. Some tanks just won't remain higher then 8.0 without a lot of crazy buffering. If you are at 8 with alk of 4, you will probably see a Ph spike that will climb above 8.4 with most buffering products after a couple days...

I have found and read that Kalk drips are not very effective for bringing up Alk levels. They are good at helping keeping them up, but not bringing them more then slight amount. Many products like Brightwells Alkaline8.3 will bring it up quickly, but also spike your PH. I recommend using...

Hey Jim! It's been a long while. Maybe a year? (way too long for me) I got dislodged from access to the site for various reasons back then and got wrapped into may family projects like coaching baseball and soccer. I will post another note saying hello to the friends that I had not spoken with...

Hey Taz - Congrats on your progress with the Cyano battle! I know that you were bewildered by it when we met up about a month ago. The reef looks awesome with that mountain of rock.

Hi - I went to clean my return pump and snapped the darn impeller stem peice. My back up 9.5 did not come through for me either. I am looking to buy a 9.5 or 12. We go away on vacation on May 30th, so I am looking for something in the next couple days Thanks

Happy birthday Brian - Hopefully you can kick back after work.

Oh! now I see how you shortened them down in the second picture. Good tip! Thx

My ro/di was made up in a brute trash can. Regardless, I either had a test error or have worse then many people's tap water! I will test it in a clean glass container next with and without the DI. Back to Brandon's thread... Thanks
