    The Soprano's

    That hadn't happened yet when I posted. I'm glad I was still semiconscious by the time it did. Fortunately, after that very brief bout of excitement it went back to being totally lame. I almost had my hopes up that show would be good again (like the first season), but it brought it right back to...

    The Soprano's

    Glad I waited 45 weeks for this piece of garbage to come back on so I can watch Anthony play Monopoly . . . .

    Happy Easter

    Well, the Easter Bunny gets an "A" for effort. I think we should have explained how corals REALLY need water, though . . . Happy Easter!

    Update on Tunze Nanostream vs Hydor Koralia

    Welcome to the club! I'm running that group buy, so just post what you want in the "Orders" thread and I'll take care of it.

    Never Ending Pointless Thread

    This may crank it up: What's the worst movie you ever saw? For me it's a tie: The Thin Red Line and Lost in Translation (TNT reminded me of them because I feel each of those director's owe me 2 to 3 hours of my life back)

    I apologize if I've offended anyone here

    Personally, I wouldn't say that you "offended" me. I will say that I'd be really disappointed to find my wife bashing me in a male dominated public forum, though . . . .

    How often do you just want to quit or at least start over?

    Only on days that end in "y" . . . .

    March POTM Winner

    Very nice pic Steve! I really like cocoa worms but unfortunately we didn't have much luck with them the last time we tried . . . .

    Take a look at this old monster fish

    I agree Joe. One day those nets are gonna start coming up empty. The other strange thing in the article was that the fish was 90-115 years old with a stomach filled with fully developed embryos.

    System Piping

    I think you'd need something between the tee and your display to force water back to your skimmer (ET AL). Going with the whole path of least resistance thing, I'm sure some of the flow would head in that direction, but I'd think you'd want to ensure that you got enough going that way. We tried...

    System Piping

    Looking at the drawing, I have one question: Do you plan to come out of the pump and into a Tee with one leg going straight to the display tank and the other going to your manifold? I'm not sure how well that would work out. Would you put the flow control valve between that Tee and the display...

    calcium reactor media

    We're using ARM also. We started with both chambers filled about 3/4. It seemed to stay at that height for a while and not really move. I put a piece of black tape on it to mark the level and it was infact lowering but very slowly. Once the level got down to about 2/3 it started to drop at a...

    System Piping

    Yeah Mike, we're using the Sequence 5800. It's a great pump. It's very quiet and pumps all of the volume we need (so far!). The biggest compliment I can give them is their customer service. We had an issue with our first pump just prior to the 4th of July weekend last year. The pump didn't fail...

    Here we go

    Looks great, Wendy. I like the open look of the rock work. Sorry to hear you were so ill. It's hard to believe it's saltwater related, though. I've definitely ingested my share over the past few years. You never know though, maybe something coming off of those "dead little wormy thingies"...

    Closed Loop Help Needed

    Have you given any thought to making the holes larger? That might be an option to get the msot out of your pump. I'm not really sure much you can push through 1/2" pipe but it sounds pretty small to me.

    My new 180 Gallon Reef - Basement Sump- Lots of Pics - similar to John S

    Sounds like your pretty much ready to add a few hardy and inexpensive fish. I'm partial to blue/green chromis but there are a bunch of other options you could go with. As far as coral, that knd of depends on what your long term plan is. If you're going with an all softie tank, you could probably...

    My new 180 Gallon Reef - Basement Sump- Lots of Pics - similar to John S

    We use a dual top-off switch from AutoTopOff.com in the sump. It's plugged into an X10 which is controlled by an AquaController II. The switch is connected to a pump that is sitting in my RO/DI storage tank. Every six hours, the ACII turns that X10 on for 1 minute. If the water level is below...

    My GARF purchase

    That's great to hear. Glad you had a positive experience with them. I'll have to check their site to see if there is anything we can use.
