I thinks that's because ours recircs all of the water in the chamber vs. a stirrer which only agitates the media laying on the bottom of the chamber.

Wait unitl you get the accident report and see how they assign responsibility. In this case, it should say that the other driver is 100% responsible for the accident. If that's the case, you should leave your insurance company out of it and use theirs. NJ has this "no-fault" thing that they like...

Somewhere around here is a link to DIY durso's which should help with the sound. I'll see if I can find it (if someone else doesn't beat me to it!).

I think he said he wouldn't be able to raise the fuge up so that it would be higher than the sump, so I'm not sure your idea would work. I was able to get my drawing on the server, so here is what I was thinking: The one thing I didn't put in the drawing that you would need is a ball valve...

One thing I was thinking is that you could use a piece of PVC pipe to connect the fuge to the sump at the water line. It would mean drilling a hole in your sump, but if you did it, you could use uni-seals in the sump and the fuge to tie them together. This way, you could still feed the two of...

We have them in a couple of our tanks and they've never bothered any corals. We must have gotten some good ones too, because they wiped out any aiptasia we had.

Can you move it to the sump? That's my "time out" tank. Any bad community citizens or other misfits wind up in our sump. Last year we went fishing with MikeM. When my daughter found out that the live killies were going to be used as bait she said absolutely not! They all wound up in the sump...

I have a few turbos and hermits. No fish, though. That kind of takes the "Refuge" out of refugium.

Sounds like a nice system. I'd love to see some pics! One thing you could do to measure your effluent from the nitrate reactor would be to put a JG Tee in the line between the second chamber of the nitrate reactor and the infeed of your calcium reactor. Have the open leg of the Tee go into a JG...

Sweet! Looks good, Jose. Can't wait to see it filled with life.

D'oh! That's funny. I can imagine you running around like a maniac trying to figure out where all of the water was going. Good thing you caught it because somehow I don't think a 30g can could handle the volume from a 90g tank!

Nice! Thanks for spreading the word!

Maybe I haven't done that exact same thing but I've done at least a dozen or more right along the same lines. No need to be red in the face. Great sotry telling, though. It definitely made me laugh! Brian has a good point. You may be able to round out the hole to the right size and put a...

I use 1/2" vinyl hose, available at Lowes or the Depot.

Welcome Bill. That was a nice introduction. If you ever see that guy from the parking lot again, tell him we said "thanks" for pointing you in our direction! Feel free to ask any quesitons you may have. Someone here is sure to be able to answer it. Thanks again for posting and I look forward to...

I had a similar experience to Phil. I have a 12g nano in my office and when initially set it up, I put one little frilly mushroom in the botton left of the tank and one or two ugly green/brown button polyps on the upper right. The rest of the tank was filled with beautiful LPS and other softies...

Re: 2008 Meeting Schedule Woohoo! Thanks, Aaron. (I bet we can go through 11 cases and quarter keg this time!)

It's already incoporated in this drawing: That should make it clear as mud ;D

Ligershark, if you still want to see it in action you can come by our place. We're in Jackson, right near the Freehold border - probably no more than 30 minutes away, if that.

Not at all. Ask away! Yep. This is where I would add a second hole a little bit higher to act as a backup. Yep. The higher you can get it above the sump the better Yep. You may want to make some kind of baffle or screen or something to keep your macro algae away from the bulkheads to...
