LOL! There have been plenty of times I wished I had a wood strecther! The rosettes look really nice like that. Great technique.

Wow Mike, that really came out great! I really like the look of it. It's classy but not gaudy. Very very nice!

Thanks for the info Mike. The more Phyl and I thought about it and looked at our options we came up with a better design. The new idea will be using a piece of trim molding in the front (which matches the cabinet). This does 2 things. It eliminates the need for a miter cut and also the need to...

I've been using a ReefGadget for 2 years and I'm still amazed at how clean the glass is when I'm done. As counter intuitive as it sounds, the glass is so clear I almost don't even notice the particulate in the water. For some reason, when the glass is a little film covered it seems to stand out...

They've been in my nano from the start (over a year ago) and I've never had a problem with them. They spread a little but then somehow "weed" themselves out and keep in check.

Yeah, they're squishy! A little less brittle than bubble algae.

I'm interested in this one too. I have the same things in my nano.

Greg, you're wanted in the shout box. LOL!

Looks great. Like TNT said, you're really going to like it. Just a bit of a heads up, though, it's going to take a bit of tweaking to quiet it down. Just about everyone I know says the same thing when they first fire up their drilled tanks "Wow, OK, is it supposed to make that much noise?" Let...

It's a work in progress. Every time you go there it's going to look different.

Yeah, me too. I'm curious as to how people are finding it. I was sent a link and I had trouble!

Happy Birthday, Pete. Don't let these guys scare ya. Being 30 ain't so bad. Sure you can see the hill off in the distance but you still have time to adjust your course before you get over it. The 30's were a great decade for me. Unlike my 20's . . . from what people tell me I may have had a...

Mike, can that saw cut a 45* angle on the edge of a 1x12? That was one of the challenges we had last time. If you look at the drawing, the face and sides need to be mitered and that cut was too long for my chop saw. We wound up trying to hold the piece square and guide it through the table saw...

Re: Thanks John Ed's in the process of setting up a new 90g tank. Tonight we tied the sump into the system. Some things he's still going to need help on (that are kind of out of my element) are suggestions for tying in his skimmer and whether or not to go with the UV light he got when he...

Congrats Steve. That's a really cool pic!

Re: Thanks John No problem Ed. Glad I could help. Keep me posted if you have any questions or problems.

Hi Dom, it was great meeting you and your son at the frag swap. I look forward to seeing you again at an upcoming meeting, whenever you can make it.

Sitting down didn't help! Holy Cow we're in the wrong business! OOOOOOHHHHHHH KKKKKAAAAAAAYYYYYY, looks like we're building one ourselves.

Hey Chase, welcome to NJRC! Why don't you tell us a little about yourself and your setup?

And to bring this back to the original post, this is an order of magnitude question only. Calibrating a refractometer for normal aquarium use with RO is fine. Yes, maybe you wouldn't want to rely on it 100% for hypo'ing a tank, but that was't the question. Sorry, sometimes I suffer from big...
