    Yeah, I think I still have them. You'll have to verify it next time you come by.

    WOW- Zoa Prices

    Wha-wha-wha-what! I had them?!? Dude, I had no idea. I actually still have no idea. I may have them, I have no clue! They don't really look familar to me but I'm not a zoa guy at all. They may be roaming around the frag tank . . . who knows!

    Let's Get Ready to Re-Scape

    I like the new aquascaping a lot better than the solid wall but IMO it's a little too far in the other direction. It would be cool if you could add an arch or a shelf or something to put a little more "meat" in it. Otherwise, it's a big improvement. Are the inhabitants getting used to it?

    My First Ever Build

    Just out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to be in the Hampshire Hills section of Jackson, would you? There is a house right around the corner from me and it has that telltale "glow". I was wondering if it was you.

    WaveMaker made easy...

    SWEEEEEET! After seeing the box Tom designed and the motion in David's tank, I am really looking forward to taking this DIY on. It looks easy enough to do and like it works very well. Great collabration guys (Olivier, too!).

    Tattoos?

    Well Matt, that should answer anyone's question about your dedication to horses! Very nice! Yours looks great too Wendy. I hear it's additive, do I sense another "hobby" setting in?

    what to do with water storage tank?

    I use two 50g drums the same way as you're thinking about. I have one with fresh water and one for salt water. The fresh water drum has a Kent Float Valve near the top and is tied into our RO/DI unit. The float valve keeps the drum full of RO/DI water. There is a hole cut close to the top with a...

    New Lights Need help

    XM's are good. I've had luck with 12K Reflux in the past but have switched to the new IceCap bulbs and really like them (and they're a sponsor!).

    Algae growth

    Looks like diatoms. My experience is that it burns itself out about 3 to 4 days after your patience reaches its end and you snap!

    Calcium Reactor?

    Nope. They don't consume much calcium. Regular water changes and dosing when necessary will be all you need.

    My shrinking Ricordia

    Do you normally have luck with rics and this one just isn't doing well or is this the first one and it's not doing well? The reason I ask is that for whatever reason, I can't keep rics at all. Everytime I've tried they shrink away until they're gone. Apparently there is something about my system...

    calcium reactor and reef fanatic valve

    I'm not sure what Ca Reactor you have but you should not open the effluent valve all the way. I forget what the flow rate should be. It's something like 100mL a minute or something. I can tell you that our effluent runs a little quicker than that. The way I dial it in is to get to a point where...
