As I was looking at my algae trough tonight I noticed a bunch of hair algae in there which is what I want, but I also noticed about 2 dozen polyps. They are soft, I thought they would be hard because they look like little 3/8" buttons but I touched them and they are soft. They are at the...

They are always hard to seperate fromcrud, I also have to do that. A frayed rope works well but it needs to be in the water for a few weeks to get just right for them, they don't like new ropes. I am not going collecting for a few weeks. Where I go, it needs to be low tide and I can only go a...

The rope should be up against a wooden pier if possable, they love wood, I guess they eat the products of decomposition and the porous wood offers them excellent low income housing.

A frayed rope is the best. If it stays there a few weeks, it should be full of amphipods. The ropes hanging off my dock are loaded.

You don't ned seaweed, you need rocks. You need to lift rocks or better yet pieces of wood from a muddy beach. You should get millions. Or if you have access to a boat ramp or any area that has rocks, take a think rope and unravel a couple of feet of it. Put it in the water so it is on the rocks...

It would be harder to make a mast light from LEDs because a mast light must have 360 degree visability and LEDs are directional. I get them from "ModelTrainsSoftware.com". To make a mast light you would need about 8 or 10 of them and position them in a circle with the tops facing out. I will...

About a quarter of my rock is made from that Sakrete Mortor Mix and I never had any problems with pH. As a matter of fact, I never had to adjust it and it is perfect. Here are some more rock supports that are in the tank.

I like to keep my rocks off my substrait as much as posable but most of my rocks are large and heavy because I collected them in the sea. Much of my new rock is hollow PVC with cement coating it. I am soon going to re aquascape and I will keep the rocks lifted off the gravel with these...

Can you solder? That is the main thing. These LEDs are mounted in a thin piece of acrylic that I drilled holes in. The LEDs are glued in with GOOP as you can't use hot gun glue (it is too hot) The copper ring is there to give it stability so it does not break when I push it into the socket.

After I installed LEDs on my tank I looked for other uses for these great, energy saving devices. I have been using them for various indication lights since they were invented but now they make them much more powerful and you can use them for general lighting. I am sure that in a few years, they...

Yep ;D

A Thank You to all Vietnam Vets from a Marine in Iraq >> >> A guy gets time to think over here and I was thinking about all the >> support we get from home. Sometimes it's overwhelming. We get care packages at >> times faster than we can use them. There are boxes and boxes of toiletries and...

If I knew it was going to be 104 degrees here in NY now, I would have built it larger, but the tank is still about 80 degrees. ;D

Salt creep may be a bit much with that ::)

There is a fan at the top right that blows water over the plates of cascading water causing evaporation and therefore cooling. Here it is over the worm tank

I love that game ;D

I really built this evaporative chiller for my blackworm tank but here in NY it is almost 100 degrees now so I transfered it to my reef for a while. It chilled my worm tank down to 65 degrees but that is only about one gallon. I will see how much it chills my 100 gallon reef. If it works I will...

I am not sure but I can find out. I am not involved in that end of the business, as a matter of fact, I am not involved in almost any aspect of the business, I just invented the thing and let someone else do the business part. I am hapily retired. Majanowand.com is the web site where you can get...

I can also lend you one but you have to come to Long Island to get it. Or of course youi can just order one. I am not sure if any were shipped near you. There are a few hundred of them out there ;D

OK thanks guys, I got it figured out. ;D
