    Teach me RO/DI

    I've always heard and was under the impression that with the units..."you get what you pay for" Is that not true in this instance?? I also heard that the majority of the Ebay sellers were selling inferior built products. My plan is to get an "Aqua FX" from a local retailer for $229, but then...

    adjustable baffles/bubbletrap

    I'm going to be trying it soon...so I'll let everyone know how it goes...I found the EPDM @ home depot for under $5 for 18ft...and a plastic shop in town said they would sell me a 13x12in square of plexi for $4...so this whole project will cost less than $30 opposed to almost $400 for the custom...

    Old stand out...new stand in

    so I should scoop the sand out too and throw it in water? Would it be OK to put the sand in a rubbermaid and stick the corals in the sand for the short time it will be??

    adjustable baffles/bubbletrap

    I'm "trying" to cut the baffles now...am gonna make them 13" tall but need to know the interior width of a standard 55g tank. I think I'll go with 11 3/4...and cut 11 1/2...but would love to actually know for sure.

    adjustable baffles/bubbletrap

    Old stand out...new stand in

    I'm "kinda" thinking about getting a new stand and hood for our 150g. I'd love to hear a few stories from those who've successfully switched out a stand, and how they did it. I think I've got a plan...basically transferring everything from the tank to garbage cans and buckets including...

    Fofface color question

    OUCH:eek: :eek: I've been lucky so far (knocks on wood desk) Mine is full grown 9.5 in. and has been around the block (a few different owners) about 3or 4 yrs old. He changes color all the time like scooty mentioned. What I do to not get stung is put my big blue net in the tank between where...

    Foxface lo in a 90 what do you think?

    I have a full grown Foxface in my 150...they get 9-10 inches...and swim like Tangs...I agree with the previous poster...a 90 isn't enough swimming room length wise.

    Skimmer opinions for 180g

    Are they EXACT copies of the Euro reefs? Do they use cheaper parts in building them...or is it just a name thing? I wouldn't mind getting a generic if it's just a name change...but I only want to have to buy this skimmer one last time and be done with it...that's why I'm asking so many goofy...

    Skimmer opinions for 180g

    I'd like to know if anyone has experience with or knows how well the ASM G2? It seems like everyone is generally unimpressed with the EV 180...and it "appears" to be overpriced compared with the ASM. I'd really like to see a picture or 2 of `1 in action if anyone is currently using one...

    Bulkheads in tank bottom?

    Rocks around he pipes sounds like a fantasic idea...beats my ugly mega-flow boxes anyday.

    I need TV advice Please!!

    not sure what the budget is...but take a look at Onkyo receivers...I have 6.1 and no complaints...also using Infinity speakers. I like them ALOT...also Polk makes a good speaker.

    DIY lighting upgrade

    actually I love it and would recommend it if you are going with an open tank. They are "kinda" spendy if bought new...and I would use the ceiling mounts since they allow you WAY more flexibility in terms of how close or far off the water you have them. Oh yea...we have them over a 150...but we...

    Unless you spend ALOT of dough on the sets mentioned earlier...burn in is inevitable with a plasma if you consistently watch the same thing.

    DIY lighting upgrade

    I have an "Outer Orbit" by Current USA. It's the 48" model with dual 150W halides and dual 130w actinics...I'm wondering if it's "possible" to upgrade this thing by replacing the 150's with 250's?? I know it would require replacing the ballasts...but that's the extent of my knowledge...(barely...

    Another question...who is John Guest...and what is his fitting??

    I need TV advice Please!!

    Spot on D...and on the Blu-ray front, if I'm not mistaken...the PS3 is about the most cost effective way to watch it...and it looks amazing...even in my "upconverted" 1080p DLP. The new Samsung DLP's over 50" are 1080p FWIW.
