    BobinCovington's new system "makeover"with sump stand, elos tank and...

    SUSPECT BUSTED!!! My wife came down to make some coffee this morning and came back up and said "we caught the crab!" and sure enough, there he was stuck in the beer glass. I reached in and slowly lifted the glass out of the tank being careful not to let the perpetrator escape. Man, that beer...

    sump size

    bio-balls make great christmas ornaments though... My sump is 36x16x18 high and i houses a big skimmer, but I wish it was the sump was a little bigger so I could have a refugium. I have about a 70 gallon tank. talk to Jason at clear fabrications (a sponser here) and Eric (veralte) if you need...

    Last night after the lights went out I was sitting in the dark and staring at my tank(sound familiar?). I have added some coral frags, some snails and cleanup crew but had lost my first fish (a little cherub angel just disappeared one night) One day I saw he had a little cut on his side and...

    electrical system design with marine panels

    Just thought I would throw this thread out there. I am about to wire in my electrical panel and wanted to hear suggestions or comments before I install it. At my company we sometimes get forensic investigators who come in and want us to x-ray evidence...and several times I have seen those...

    I think I mentioned before...we just have the canopy as the lighting solution for now. We also didn't want light flooding our living room. So we can easily change out the lighting to a suspended canopy whenever we want. But for now we love it!

    BobinCovington's elos

    Just if anyone is interested I posted a couple of new pics of my elos on my thread under "tank design". I have a lot left to do still, but it is running. :)

    just a couple more...one is the Profilux programmable 3 channel (upgradeable to 4) dosing pump from Cherry Corals. I can't wait to get this baby hooked up and running. and the skimmer from Warner Marine is chugging along with no problems. It just keeps working. Every other skimmer I have...

    This is the panel that will mount to the center section of the sump workbench in the garage. The thin panel mounts to the side and has 8 receptacles (1 for each circuit). This panel will be on it's own dedicated 30Amp circuit of my home breaker panel. Main Pump Skimmer Heater Controller Dosing...

    these next shots are of the tank. Still thinking about best rock placement. The rock on the left is much larger than it looks.

    Sorry to delay so long on the pics (just lots going on). So here goes... I have rock and water in the tank, added some crabs, snails, a green zoo and sump is running. Just without the wiring done on the panels. But at least it is running and looks like an actual aquarium. these pictures...

    Tunze Reef Excel Salt Test Results

    thanks Cy...It's nice having someone do a comparison on these salts. Too bad there isn't an independent agency that tests all salts and then puts a little label on the bag that tells us what the parameters are when mixed. (like those labels that list how many carbs, fats and proteins). I...

Still trying to finish up the electrical. Here is a cell phone snapshot of the panel coming together. I promise I will...

    must see this sale Wicked

    Maybe I will list my friendly aptaisia on ebay, that actually "waves" at you with it's little arms. How about $2500? I think if I had that much to spend, it would go towards a whole system and not just a brittle star. Actually if I had that much to spend, my wife wouldn't let me anywhere near...

    back from diving in Hawaii (and an osmolator question)

    Appreciate your help, I am mostly thinking the upper float switch location. How far should each probe/sensor be from the surface of the water? It is my understanding that the optical probe sits basically on the water surface with the tip just in the water at the optimum level, but is that...
