    Beginning day 3 without power

    Scooter beat me to my next comment... got Gas? I am running my generator continuously. This means 5gal per day. I now know that I should have more fuel stored in reserve but I hate having gas sit too long especially living so close to water and the moist climate. This is a double edged...

    Beginning day 3 without power

    It is not necessary to hook in to your panel but if you don't, make sure you have lots of extension cords and multiple outlets so you can plug everything in. You will be surprised at how many cords you might need if you don't have your wiring organized ahead of time. Being able to fully power...

    Beginning day 3 without power

    First of all, the puchase of a Honda generator several years ago has been a lifesaver. I went with a 3000w portable unit so it can be moved around as necessary, storing in my attached shed and putting it on casters so I can easily wheel it to the door so it adequately vents to the outside. A...

    Beginning day 3 without power

    Just got home in time from overseas business trip on Sunday only to have the power go out Monday afternoon during snow/wind storm. Between helping very old neighbors in need, suffering major jet lag, and trying to keep reef tank warm, I finally got a chance to chime in here. Even though I...

    To soon for a Mandarin?

    Pretty much what I did. Most in the fuge. Still don't see them in the DT but they are all over the glass in the fuge. I am assuming they will make the journey at some point to the DT for their ultimate doom! :)

    To soon for a Mandarin?

    My understanding is that the tigger pods don't reproduce in your tank. So you will have to keep feeding them. I bought some "reef pods" (from Barrier Reef) and added to my fuge. They seem to be multiplying. You could add these to your DT and with enough live rock and enough time before...

    To soon for a Mandarin?

    Sounds like you have the food requirement. As long as your tank is stable it's probably good to go. I am assuming the rock from old tank went straight from the old to new one? If you have never had one... keep in mind most people slowly starve their mandarins without knowing. There are now...

    Aquarium stands opinions?

    Ditto that! Jason built a killer 250gal acrylic tank for me. Great quality and he knows what he is doing.

    bought a new camera

    You have to play with ISO and go as high as you can without noise becoming overwhelming. Noise reducing software can 'smooth' the images during postprocessing. Sharpening is another powerful tool. Newer cameras have sensors that can produce great quality at higher ISOs. That's why you...

    bought a new camera

    High ISO, tripod, software to correct color, large depth of field as possible to without too slow a shutterspeed to start. Have fun and experiment to understand your camera.

    Aquarium stands opinions?

    I have previously built an all hardwood stand and canopy for a 250gal island tank and although gorgeous I did get frustrated a bit with the lack of access even though I designed for as much as possible. This time I went all steel with LineX truck bed liner coating. The beauty of this design is...

    ID Please

    Sponge is my bet too. Is it growing in a dark area? As long as it is not impeding growth of your corals. No real harm.

    Delete inactive members?

    Okay stupid question time. I used to have it but can't find the switch to change the layout. I like being able to see who is online but don't know how I changed it. Where is the option located?

    A bit off topic but what happened to the list of members currently online?

    Thank you Reef Frontiers!!!

    What to do in case of emergency

    I went kind of in the middle with a honda 3000. I can run a big tank and a few other things around the house too if the weather hammers us bad. Out here on the hood canal the winds can get wild. Kind of fun but always worried I will be on a business trip and have to walk the scared wife through...

    Feeding Nori?

    And it is such a pleasure to feed them a little bit a couple times a day plus I have small pellets on an eheim auto feeder. I would agree on cutting back on other food for the tang and he should go after the nori. Putting it lower in the tank might help too. My tang doesn't like to feed near...
