    Indeed. When I saw it, I felt the urge to go replay Zelda one more time :) Arguably one of the greatest games ever made.

    Stand Build Project

    Drill works fine for me. Got several various sized drills by Hitachi. As for the glue, I know it has no real strength...especially compared with the screws and fine pre-drilled holes. I figured since I was going to be doing excess with the stand, I might as well do the extra %.001 I figured it...

    Stand Build Project

    I pre drilled all the holes for the wood screws and also used gorilla glue on every seam. And I coated it with polyurethane morning and night every day for a week. I wont ever have to worry about rot.

    Stand Build Project

    Here is a super solid one I built. Thats a 72" length, and approximately 44" in height inside(plenty of room to work around. Extremely solid. Here it is with a 55g sump down below The inside is sealed water tight, will hold the water if the sump shatters. And will hold the excess spill...

    lost power.. tank down

    There was a mighty wind that blew last night. I lost power around 9pm, within minutes I was out in the shed firing up the generator. We have two, and are about to go get a third tomorrow so we can power up the well so we wont be out of water. Dad said he saw a 7k watt generator at home depot...

    I over shot my Alk...

    You got me, I have never bothered with dosing or testing. Ive always gone with what was in the pail. But this last batch of reef crystals was just sour. I think Ill go with the purple bucket from now on, that way I have a consistant batch every time.

    Thinking about calcium reactors...

    If it does have a second chamber, can you put any media you want in it? no. this is for calcium only. Does the lower pH water going in make anything more effecient (ie. carbon, phosban, etc.)? intersting, i would postulate no, but it may help a little. Looking at this reactor right now. Looks...

    What all in one nano tank should I go with??

    My first JBJ arrived shattered. Not JBJ's fault, it was Fedex. I got a free one a week later. Not much to them all honestly. Its not like you arent going to mod the crap out of them anyways. Honestly I dont like the overflow of the JBJ, its too deep, and you dont get water forced through all...

    Is my Reef Doomed?

    And bristle worms are awesome! They keep their own population in check, over feed they increase...underfeed they diminish. A perfect balance to your eco system. The only real negative is it sux to get stung. But you should leave your rock work alone anyways.

    Is my Reef Doomed?

    3 little peppermints arent going to do much in a 50g that has a major outbeak. They are hit and miss as it is. I know im not going to be popular with my following recommendation: Copperband butterfly. They arent reef safe. But Mine has never so much as nipped at a coral. When I had him in QT for...

    I over shot my Alk...

    thx don. What about time? would that work? I suppose 11 dkh isn't that critical, my tank itself is 8dkh, and I would be putting 40g into a 160g system. That alone should bring it down. Ill just stop raising the tank. I was hoping to have the up coming WC match the tank. Ill have to use some...

    I over shot my Alk...

    It was broke, last week I had: 1050mg 470 ca 6.5 dkh I'm going to be manually adjusting it to optimal from now on. I dont mind the extra bit of effort to make sure they are happy. Till now, I would mix my water and dump it in, I have healthy corals, with the occasional loss. But slow growth...

    Thinking about calcium reactors...

    1. Your typically going to see a kalk drip or reactor to counter the effects of the calcium reactor. Often people will dose with kalk on a drip to save in equipment costs. A cheap alternative is to make your own solution. Pickling lime from Walmart(sold next to the food vacum sealers) in a...

    I over shot my Alk...

    they are meant to raise the levels. Ill just add an airstone and force the KH down.
