    Hot To Stop The Burping

    I used a tee as well but mine goes other way with the water flowing straight through and the tee part heading up above the water level.

    You Gimme That Anemone Right Now

    okay I decided the picture didn't show how hilarious he was acting so I made a video. Here's the youtube link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=j3vQKDtxlVY I had to cut off the video because I started cracking up again. He's still at it now only he's trying it from the bottom instead :)

    You Gimme That Anemone Right Now

    The clowns are about 2" in size and the anemone is about 4" to 5" in diameter outside the bag. Its even starting to inflate inside the bag.

    You Gimme That Anemone Right Now

    I've been laughing for about half an hour now. I brought home this beautiful green bubble tip anemone and my clowns can't hold their horses. They've been bouncing off the bag for at least 45 minutes trying to get to it (laugh) I don't remember the last time my aquarium actually had me...

    My DIY Aquacontroller Software

    Hey now. My HTML skills have worked fine since 1996. Ideally I'd love to skin it with CSS. Might need some help with that. I'd also love to use some AJAX for dynamic refreshing.

    My DIY Aquacontroller Software

    Does the reefkeeper have a terminal mode where you can talk to it with any old terminal emulation software?

    My DIY Aquacontroller Software

    I bought an Aquacontroller Jr. a while back with the intent of making my own software for it. I've been working for a couple weeks or so, and well, here's version 0.0001 alpha. (Yes I've probably wasted more than $75 worth of my time trying to avoid buying a $75 program from neptune :) ) I'm...

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    Tank is in the house. They're still working on building my office so this'll be its location for a month or two. Moved over some water and picked up some nice live rock tonight. The light is temporary until I move my halide over. That light is only the crappy stock 24 watt N.O fluorescent...

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    Tonight's teaser update :P Put a coat of paint on 'er and siliconed the crap out of the overflows. The glass cleaned up real nice and I don't think it'll be a problem when it gets water in it. Just one pic today :)

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    The "overflow" on the right isn't really an overflow. There's a bulkhead at the bottom but its for the return flow. I just wanted to make them symmetrical from the outside. When the canopy is on you can't tell that it isn't just like the other one. The object of this project is to make...

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    There are already bulkheads installed at the bottom of the tank. That's what the cylinders are covering.

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    Tonight's update: I reconsidered the acrylic overflow box, and decided to try something crazy as you will see. Pretty much just roughed in the plumbing and overflow tonight. I think I may win "simplest drain" on this one, although its canceled out by "most complicated return plumbing :P. The...

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    Tonight's Progress: I'm not skilled and I don't even try so my stuff always has the same generic basic look, but I'm excited to make a little more progress. What's the recommended method for bonding acrylic to glass? I know silicone doesn't work very well. The entire right side of the...

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    The hidden plumbing/whateverthecrap idea is now scrapped. I got a good deal on a 30G long from a local guy last night, so it takes up the entire surface of the stand. I made it 36" just in case I did something like this and changed my mind at the last second. I'll have the LFS drill the tank...

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    Maybe I shouldn't tell you about the 1 1/4" outside corner molding I had to use to hide the crooked cuts on the plywood ;) I really need a table saw! Oh, also the center brace is just attached with angle brackets. It's removable to get the sump in and out.

    Ghettotastic Office Tank

    Here's what I'm working on for my office. Disclaimer: I suck at carpentry. The tank will be either a 20H or 20L. The tall piece of plywood off to the right side is a place holder. Basically that is the side that will be touching the wall and I will be using the extra room on that side to hide...
