♫♫ Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Brian, Happy Birthday to you!! ♫♫ I hope you have a wonderful day filled with friends, family and lots of fun! :) And cool presents too!

Out of curiousity... How is it pulling phosphates and heavy metals from RO/DI water? Where is that coming from?

None of those things that I suggested hurt the ich. They all help by boosting the fish's immune system to allow them to fight a better fight. With this approach there's always a chance that you'll lose the fish. These aren't treatments, per se. I hypod a new fish for 8 weeks that had ich when I...

Thanks for clarifying that, Taz. I did mean to emphesize GLASS as well. Straight from the spigot, not from storage.

You should test your TDS in a clean dry container. What is your TDS going in? If it is high (like Malulu, for example whos inbound is like 300+) then you're going to burn through your filters faster. Our initial filter set lasted thousands and thousands of gallons. Our inbound is 60. It lasted...

Garlic soaked food, lower your SG a couple of points (1.025 down to 1.020, for example), lower your temperature two to three degrees. These things will all help your fish get stronger to fight it off naturally.

I think that looks cool, Stan. I like the tie in of the ship's wheel with the sea theme. And while you did well distressing the wood in the last post I think it loses the "old" feel with the shiney new coating. I think it would have needed an older more rustic finish to have the feel you were...

How was the trip today? ;D

Try snaking it, Erna (with a new, clean snake, obviously). I would also check the teeth to the overflow chamber to make sure that there's no algae in them. Is it backing up IN the overflow box because it isn't going down the drain fast enough or in the tank side because it isn't getting into the...

Fans over the sump will increase evap, pull the Co2 off of the surface of the sump and aid in airflow. That should help increase the PH.

6mp which will print a nice 8x12 size photo, maybe even a bit larger. You could probably get away with 13x19.

Not dumb at all... VR is vibration reduction. It is the Nikon "anti-shake" technology that the lens uses to reduce the crappy pictures based on your hand shaking. This is typically more often employed in longer lenses where the slightest shake has a greater impact on the image so the longer...

You have two zooms that come with the camera. Those will cover most things you need for the kids for quite some time. A macro lens is a good chunk of change, but that can wait a little bit. In the mean time you can play with extension tubes.

This model isn't manual focus with ALL lenses. The lenses need to have a focus motor in them for the focus to work. The lenses that come in the kit will autofocus for you. The older lenses without focus motors will not autofocus. Just means that you need to be selective with the lenses you...

150-170, depending on condition.

What fish to do you have? Any chance they're irritating the acros during the day?

Did you want to rush out there and help them out of the tree?! I know I did! How cute they are (but mom DOES look scary). @Deb: The trees or the bears?! I don't think bears mix well with 2yos and I'm pretty sure climbing trees would present a problem too! LOL!

My green one was huge. Then split and they were both huge. Then split again and there were none. Found new homes for all of them.

The robot was injecting fluid into the shut off valves to try to trigger the shut off reaction, but the pressure was too great and it couldn't trigger them. There were 3 backups to the shut off sensor and ONE of them should have worked. Talk about many things playing into the disaster.

I think the day passes are available now, if I'm not mistaken....
