    Summer Mountain Pictures

    Hey everybody I just thought I would post some pictures from this past summer of my mountain adventures, I don't know if there are other climbers/hikers out there but the scenery is good for anyone. Grandmother Mountain, Northern Idaho: My trip through the Sawtooths of central Idaho, it was...

    Do all clown fish hate me?

    How long are you quarantining your fish for? What other fish do you have? How long has the tank been setup? Give us some more info and we can start thinking through this.:) Tim

    sump upgrade

    I used glass baffles in my sump, I went to a local window shop and asked them if they had any scrap that were big enough for what I wanted, I got more than I needed for free. I then went to home depot and got a $7 glass cutter and did all my cutting myself and since most window scraps have at...

    Lighting question

    I was thinking again about this and remembered another tank I saw on here (I think) a while ago. The tank was out in a sunporch with a glass ceiling, for most of the lighting cycle it was lit by a generous amount of 400 watt MH lights which we would all say is definitely adequate. During the...

    One week after set up and tank done cycling????

    Just be careful that brine shrimp is not the only thing he eats, it doesn't have much nutrition and the fish will starve. It does make a good transition food from live to prepared though.

    Sherman Tank 120

    Hearing about your tank crash is making me start thinking about a UPS for mine, darn it there goes my extra cash again. You are lucky everything worked out the way it did having the new tank there and waiting. It looks good. Tim

    Micro Bubbles from closed loop

    How far is the intake to the pump from where the drains from your tank are located? It should be a foot or less if possible, what is probably happening is that the pump is cavitating. I am no expert on this but have been instructed by an expert on how to avoid the same problems you are facing...

    One week after set up and tank done cycling????

    Hey the tank looks great for a month and a half, I hope all goes well for you on this project. Isn't it addictive how you get one tank going and immediately start thinking about the next bigger tank:rolleyes:. That is why we are all broke:D. I would recommend slowing down though and give what...

    Feeding Clams

    I think moving it would cause more harm than good if it is in a good place. I agree with you that there are differing opinions but I think that leaving it in the display tank would be better. We will just have to hope more people chime in.:) Tim

    Mounting Halides in hood.

    I think the idea is that you don't want to get your bulbs too close to the water so if you have plenty of clearance it won't cause any problems. I haven't really heard of anyone worrying about it though. Tim

    Lighting question

    I think part of the problem is that aquarium lighting is still a developing science. You mentioned that "physics is physics" which I interpret to mean that there are some concrete laws controlling the subject. The world of physics is drastically changing and is filled with as much debate...

    RODI question

    Is there anything I should do to my unit to store it? I only filter water once a week so it sits under the sink most of the time.

    RODI question

    I have been getting a RODI setup going after buying water for several years:) and keep running into questions. I want to start up this thread so as I come up with questions I can just ask them here. First question: How long do you flush a RO membrane to clean it out? By the way I wanted to put...

    TRU T5 bulbs - good or no good? looking for opinions

    I am a regular hellolights customer and have been quite happy with all their products. I haven't used these particular bulbs but every once in a while they do a $10 special on some really nice stuff. Tim
