February 2012 is here and so is the NEXT POTM...
Its easy, Its fun, you get to show off your fishes and corals,
The winner will receive a $20.00 gift card AND
in addition to this, Sandee (last month's winner) has upped the Ante.
She has DONATED her giftcard to this month's winner !!
That's...
it seems that:
- we don't have enough people to chime in for more ideas?
- we don't have enough time to finalized the finding
- we don't have enough time to get them to vote
hence this Feb POTM will as as last one no new rules yet.
please continue to shout with more ideas...!
thx
- what is wrong with words?
- not sure if we have a way to shows all original submission after the poll, after all, we may wanted to know how/what the 2nd, 3rd place's did what with the pics...
Last time, the Smiling Star fish got removed - was due to it had been posted in this forum before, and it is NOT due to "too recognizable."
since we are on this topic, the not revealing original submitter rule, i really don't think it is matter we know whom submitted it or not, but some would...
what is the real goal for POTM ?
- do we want the most amazing pics?
- or, we want some fun and possible touching pics?
the former is meant for pros with possible good equipment and good knowledge of photo editing/enhancing skill set.
the later is for almost anyone with even a point and shoot...
are we going to come to some agreement soon? or a vote something?
I would like to know how to proceed with the next POTM, as the time is almost here... need the rules FIRM before accepting new pics.
thx
- limiting the winning times would not help much, there are only 12 months in a year, even we say once a year, the top 12 people with good equipment is most likely to win, and we have few hundred members.
- two of the main issues ( In my own opinions ) are (1) the normal skill set members don't...
try put it in your sump to see if it get better?
last time i have a similar problem - it was due to my mini puffer (in tank for 3 months) and suddenly started to pick on it...
if you pre-mix the salt... then anytime...
if you mix the salt inside the nano, then you will need to wait till all salt get dissolved first (it depends on how the flow blow, time may vary...etc.)
i guess the best bet is to mix the salt outside first for a day, while you testing your tap water...
if you are talking about base-rock (dried live rock),
the best choice would be Macro Rocks http://www.njreefers.org/forumdisplay.php?174-Marco-Rocks
you seems lives very closed to me, i have some good live rocks you can have for free for your nano tank, let me know.
thx
something like below, not saying you need to get this, it would help faster recycling, but they are not cheap...
you may want to update your account profile to show your location (city/town), and may be someone can jump in to reply where you can get some near your area for cheaper price...etc...
i would suggest use regular tap water first to check for leak, and let pump run (clean) the pipes...etc.
let it run for few hours... and once everything seems right, no leak...etc.
then you drain them out and put in the R/O water.
for the rest, the cycle for 2 weeks is not enough, if you need...
i am doing 10% every TWO weeks, mainly due to the salt storage/container's size, I would like to increase to 10% per week, but am too lazy to refill it every week, now i only need to REFILL it twice a month.
in the past, I do water change all at once.
now a day, i use dosing pump...
i see that Don beat me to it for the replied... and coincidentally we are the the same subject but in different side of the fence. :p
I think now a day, if someone have a high end macro len camera would get a better chance to win - so i would like to introduced the comments along the photos, to...
since we are on the POTM rules topics, i would like:
- to allow submitter to have a max of 75 chars to post along with the voting pic ( the 75 is the max chars that i can fit in the configuration text box)
