Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax Hey, howabout an update...you can still talk about the 120, ya know...

Look at my build thread, I used PVC pipe to make a cave frame and to support columns. Very happy with it, it's more stable than my old "pile it up and pray" method.

I am amazed at someone who can keep even five tanks--When I had two reefs I had trouble keeping up with what needed to be done to what. Plus I spread the dreaded flatworms from one reef to the other by using the same net, or something. I want to set up a second tank as a species tank, but I...

Phyl and John, thanks a bunch for hosting! I hope someone took a picture of Mount Shoemore!

I'm bringing clownfish sushi. Great unless you're diabetic. PS: Don't you mean the tall, HOT blonde in Blue Jeans and PINK boots? I'm just sayin... ;)

I think you have to mail order Zeovit, but Aqauatic Obsessions has a nice selection of Brightwell products, and gives a club discount. :)

Wow, nice chameleons. I would recommend that you investigate the following bulding methods: 1) Aluminum "angle iron" and pop rivets from HD, this is so easy it's silly, and non-toxic. But not cheap. 2)"Furniture style" 3-way PVC corners and 3/4" PVC pipe, very modular, you can make anything

When you say you have a source, do you mean a source for buying or a source for digging?

Wendy, I will take one at $25 if it is available! Jim Roth PS: Be sure to try the clownfish sushi!

DT's is phyto plankton, what a refugium would produce is zooplankton. That said, I don't think anybody HAS TO dose DT's, what are you trying to feed? I don't think corals eat phytoplankton, clams do, many people feed it to generally "feed the tank," ie, feed organisms which will reproduce and...

During the time he was alive, I think he called me everything in the book at one time or another. When I was a kid he mostly called me Hey You -- Lump Lump! He was a self-centered narcissist who, ironically, never missed an opportunity to help someone in trouble, automotive, legal, financial, or...

Things are settling down now that my Ca reactor is behaving. Notable growth and color improvement in some corals. Time for a few pix: The PBT is doing really well, but he got injured last week. It's healing The blue tips on this are really intense, but I'm not getting it in the photo. Lots...

I ended up sealing the outflow tube with a blob of silicone and sealing the top with "tape dope," an advanced version of the familar teflon tape. The solenoid is upstream of the reactor, regulating a siphon flow from my water barrel. It works pretty well so far. The vessel is sealed so the...

I have been in a number of incidents in IT where somebody did something really stupid (a couple of times it was me). Usually people just chalk it up to "@#$% happens" and move on, maybe make the person work until it's fixed, restored, etc. Then they use the incident to tease or berate the person...

What does it get mixed with? Just water? Jabis, what product do you dose? I'm a little foggy on the whole potassium / potassium iodide/ iodine thing.

So I suppose the next challenge is to laser-cut the logo of your favorite team and have that grow onto another piece. OMG, look, it's the Virgin Mary! ;D

I was advised that adding potassium would enhance (or show, I mean fergodsake...) the blue colors of my SPS. I bought an ESV solution of potassium iodide and started adding that. Anybody else dose potash, and have you seen any results?

Many happy returns of the day....

You can drip some of the kalkwasser in. Get a container and mix up like 1/2 cup with a gallon of water and wait till it settles a bit. Get some airline tubing and tie a knot in it loosely so you can control the flow. Start a siphon from the container into the tank at a steady drip, like two...

Wow, very nice. Is it aquacultured? Hey is that Big Frankie in your avatar?
