Quick correction, it's a ping pong ball. There are DIY threads all over the net on how to build them. I can go down and take a closer look at mine if you want anymore details.

Not to derail this thread but you should be able to PM. The restriction is there to stop spammers but you should be OK after 5 posts. {Edit: PM on its way}

It takes a couple of hours of them being on for them to reach their long term color spectrum. For example, they may look a little too white when you first fire them up but after they burn for a while they take on a more bluish hue. That's their "true" color and how they should look for about a...

Great meeting, Rod. Thanks a lot for hosting it. It's always cool seeing the familiar faces and meeting new reefers. The food was great (mmmmmm . . . . jerk pork and lasagna . . . .) and the drinks were flowing, what else could you ask for! See you all in April.

LOL!

Yeah, that thing floated like a cinder block!

What kind of flow is it in? Since everything else seems to be in check, maybe it's getting too much/too little flow. Just a thought. Good luck with it.

That's Feng. He really is a great guy and runs a very nice store. He's got a good selection and riduclously good pricing. I agree, it's a long drive but certainly worth the trip.

It's so good to be home! Being on RC is like staying at a Bed and Breakfast. It's nice for a night but there's nothing like being home. and yikes was that a majorly psychotic B&B . . . thanks for the awful visuals Rod!

Happy Birthday Don. I hope you had a great day.

Based on THIS table it looks like its probably for a 1.5" bulkhead.

I'm using IE 8 and don't have any trouble with logging in. I do have trouble typing a long post, though. After so many lines, something strange happens and I can't see the line I'm typing. It's below the bottom of the reply box. If I scroll down to it, it just drops out of site as soon as I...

Another thing you can do with your drain line is have it end with a 90* elbow right at the water line so that half the fitting is below the surface. This lets the water drain easily and pretty much eliminates the "toilet flushing" effect.

Very nice tank and pics. I like the aquascaping and the ultra clean look of the back glass. I hope you can maintain that clean glass because it really looks great.

Nice Pics! No seriously, I'm not padding, they're really nice!

Sounds good. No rush.

Great news! Hopefully "the list" isn't too long!

Cool Sid! Hopefully you'll get all of the necessary approvals!

A nice way to add sand to an existing system is to pour it through a length of 2" pvc pipe. Cut the pipe a little longer than the height of your tank and just add it in slowly. You can target the areas you want and it keeps the sandstorm down to a minimum.
