    Do any of you keep a wrasse in a bare bottom system?

    Definitely not trying to start an argument here but I feel it is a little like putting a Tang in too small of a tank. You can, but is it good for the fish? My wrasses have always buried themselves in the sand at night and also use for refuge if frightened. I have lots of extremely porous...

    Who uses an EcoTech Marine Vortech pumps?

    Yep... I run two 40s sync'd on opposite sides of an Elos 160XL. Run about 75% in reefcrest mode to attenuate the noise. Love them! My new Clown Tang is using one as a lap pool.

    Do you have any incoming air? You may need some 'fresh' air intake.

    Who's planning to attend SEAMAX?

    Boy I hate to see the retailers bail. Especially Wet Pets... I was looking forward to meeting Les!

    My new best friend... and it's not a dog!

    What about GSP? I might be a little shy on these! So far no issue with the Zoo's.

    Who's planning to attend SEAMAX?

    Agreed. Just keep it fresh on our minds! Should be a great show/exhibit.

    Bare bottom or shallow Sand bottom?

    Bare bottom for ease of maintenance, nitrate control as others mention and excellent reasons. But for me, I just love my sand sifting orange spotted goby building houses, my leopard wrasse diving in for a night's sleep, my sand sifting starfish cruising around, and I want to add a few...

    My new best friend... and it's not a dog!

    About a month ago I purchased a filefish (Acreichthys tomentosus) from my closet LFS in another attempt to battle the aiptasia outbreak that was worsening. I tried peppermint shrimp, and a couple of copperband butterfly fish after using Joe's Juice, and boiling water. I am not sure the Joe's...

    Precautions when rescaping a tank

    Great list... don't know if you have sand that hasn't been disturbed especially under the rock, be prepared for a dust/mud storm. Try to get all of your animals out before you start major moving of boulders. I lost some smaller frags this way.

    How much weight can a 2x4 hold

    Yep no problem! Dead weight is not the issue. Its the stability (side to side) strength you want to be sure to cover. That means proper joints, gussets, or skinning the frame to carry the shear loads. The other thing to consider is your 'footprint'. You want to be sure your flooring is...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    Okay this is getting interesting. I have never been able to keep my pod population up so I want to see your success. Are you going to feed phyto to your ppd culture?

    Bulk Head Leaking

    McLendon's is always a good place to bring a part and a few questions so you go home 'once' with what you need. We all have stories of multiple trips in a day to HD.

    Sugar sand question

    Yep. No problem. Been there done that.

    Seattle Aquarium

    Maybe wrong thread to promote but PSAS should link up with the aquarium. I met the marine mammal curator on a ferry ride across to Bremerton a couple weeks ago and she was quite engaging. Maybe a meeting place?
