    Plans for my 30G Cube

    Nice drawings, Jose! What program did you use for them? One thing that looks a little funky is having your return lines coming out right in front of your overflow box. If it were me, I'd have it on the opposite side of the tank so that you ensure some circulation. Other than that, I like the...

    Trace Element Addition/Maintenance

    I have a few questions about adding/maintaining trace elements in our system. Right now we're running an ARM/Dolomite mix through a CR-6 Dual Stage Ca Reactor. The ratio is about 10 cups of ARM to 1 cup of Dolomite. We spent a lot of time mixing them together so I'm pretty sure it's a...

    deadliest catch tv show

    I never saw it but I heard it's good. Isn't this the last season? I thought I heard that they stopped that competition due to the number of people lost each year. Those are some pretty hardy SOB's, though!

    Middletown Fencing Referrals?

    I'm sure you can find a local handyman in the Business Services section of the paper. Just remember, you get what you pay for. If you go the cheapest route you may not be happy with the outcome. Installing fences in our area is REALLY easy. The ground is all sand and easy to dig. I put in more...

    It's always good to have a plan! Sticking with it . . . . now that's the challenge (for me at least)! Good luck. Going anywhere good for your vacation?

    Explanation on my recent "rare" appearances

    Sorry to hear that Wendy. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. We're local so we can help feed fish and birds and dogs and spiders and whatever else you may need fed!

    The Soprano's

    4/22 Update: Well, just when you think the show has hit rock bottom, they break out the old backhoe and dig a little deeper . . . . Obligatory violence with minor/new characters doesn't quite cut it. This can't end fast enough!

    CO2 for calcium reactor.

    I have a 5lb and a 10lb and They last a really long time. I've been running the 10lb for at least 6 months now, probably longer. The 5lb is sitting there filed and waiting for its turn! I just got into the red zone of the 10lb (around 400lbs left), so I should have about 3 - 4 weeks left on it...

    CO2 for calcium reactor.

    A lot of people buy them and refill that at industrial welding supply places. There was some traffc a while ago about using food grade C02 but I'm not sure what ever came of that. I use the stuff from a welding pace and it seems fine. HTH

    DIY 110gal stand and canopy build

    Holy Guacamole, Mike! That is absolutely stunning! Very beautiful work. Someone I know just got a 180g, any tips on how I . . . . I mean "he" may be able to make something that nice himself?

    From the ground up.

    Looks great. I like the stars, it's a nice touch. The "supervisor" in pic 3 looks like he's wondering who blew the break bell, though! And most importantly: To NJRC!

    Where is your Refugium in your current setup?

    In my opinion, the main advantage of not sending all of the water through the fuge is related to flow rates. You want to give water a little more resonance time in the fuge to allow filtration to take place. If the flow rate is too high, the fuge doesn't work as well as it could. But, you...

    Where is your Refugium in your current setup?

    They're all standard flow chart stencils. I "built" the components all on my own. Basically, I'd put together all of the elements of something, like a ball valve, and when I got it the way I wanted it I'd select the whole thing and make a group out of it. I'd then cut, paste and re-size that...
