By the way, thanks for the compliments and great advice everyone. I'm going to run the light in the fuge when the main tank's light is off. I...
Well, it's finished for now. On my next dive I'm going to grab enough sand from the reef to create a DSB with critters and pods. [IMG]...
is an auto topoff system something one can DIY without a RO/DI unit at the moment?
Sorry about the lack of pics, but I've been putting in some hours at the real job. First the Cliff Notes: At first,terrible failure, nothing...
It's been a while since I've spoken to my fish. I used to name them and say things to my Niger Trigger like, "Hey, Tom Petty!! Quit nipping at the...
ATP=Adenosine TriPhosphate very small matter in the large matter of you helping others. :) maybe your spelling error was a Freudian Slip?...
thanks. I'll do that. So far, I think I'd like to have a hammer or two, sun polyps, toadstools, ricordia, some of the more colorful palythoas. I'm...

Continuing on, next is to make sure the gloves are worn! [IMG] Remember, I have to do this a bit backwards, since I can't fit my hands on...
I'll be starting to place corals in the tank just as soon as my lighting is in place and I've determined that I can maintain water chemistry...
For my relatively shallow 55 gal tank, I decided to go with a T5 setup. I discovered in my reading that individual reflectors are a must--which...
Yeah, it can be tricky. Good deal on the water!!
As an electrician, I've used a lot of PVC for underground applications and a few have just confirmed my suspicions. PVC glue smells like the devil...
I don't follow. Isn't it a lot easier to use an existing tank? Good luck with the water test. If it doesn't work, you'll know exactly what NOT to...
