Little trick with the phosphate reagent that I saw somewhere. Rather than cutting one side of the foil package, cut two adjacent sides so that you can pinch it together and make a little funnel. Makes it much easier to poor the reagent into the vial.

Worry about them or no? I have a 50 gallon fuge with cheato and whatever other type of algae will grow in there. Along with a lot of pods and some worms I've noticed that I have a pretty good population of planera worms in there. They seem to be feeding on the algae that is growing on the...

I think the 160 monster might be on the small size for your tank given the fish that you are looking to keep. I'd consider bumping to the next size up. As already mentioned the Warner skimmers were made by Skimz. I had a Warner MF201 on my 120 and traded some emails with John Warner when I...

Thanks Dan, its 72" L x 36" W x 28" H

Thanks guys. Hopefully in a few years most of that negative space will be filled with sps!

I'd be more than happy to come down next winter and take care of that for you. :) Another winter like this one and we may be neighbors.

Thanks Steve I'm pretty happy with how the canopy came out. I was using it as a test for style that I'm going to use to skin the stand. It passed the wife test so that project is next.

Beat man. I hope everything else pulls through for you.

Not the best quality but here is a quick video. http://youtu.be/gIgGIOaeK4w

Hard to say. Neither were what I would call supermales but I'd give a slight nod to the lineatus. Then again I've never seen a full blown male rhomboid in person. I have read that the female/juvenile lineatus are on the more aggressive side and wondered if I just had an unruly teenager. I've...

Here comes the picture police. :) Was going to try for some video tonight and then the Flyers happened.

I'd be up for going in on making some food. Been meaning to try it for a while.

I finished up floating canopy and got the lights hung yesterday afternoon. I'm running three 250 watt radiums and four 80 watt t5's (3 blue plus and 1 Fiji purple). I absolutely love how the radiums look and am just using the t5s for dusk/dawn effect. I may grab a few actinic bulbs to try...

Nice list! My lineatus and rhomboid battled and after a year the lineatus killed the rhomboid. That being said I've seen people keep them together successfully. If you want to try them I'd suggest adding the rhomboid first.

I've been using it for a month or two without any issues. The interface is much nicer but beyond that there doesn't seem to be any major functional changes. Then again I'm relatively new to apex so I might not know what I don't know. :)

Ill have to keep my eye out for it next time I get up there. I checked and the pellets that I have are from Jungle.

I think that is mainly for the bubble issue. I wanted to keep the tank aerated so I just turned the DC pump on the skimmer to the lowest setting to keep it from overflowing. Even doing that I had to open the gate valve all the way. Thanks Mike are you talking about the pellets? I've been...

I've been debating for a while what direction to go with my lighting. I started with 2 4 bulb ati fixtures thinking that I'd eventually add leds to them to get enough light. After checking my par I was surprised to see just how much light these two fixtures were putting out and that maybe leds...

Are your drains flushing? How do your drain lines dump into your sump? Are they above or below the waterline in your sump? I'm guessing that they are below and that the lines aren't letting the air vent which is causing them to fill up until a siphon starts. The siphon drains the lines until...

Works for me. I'm going to see what I can catch for you tomorrow.
