I know several of you were interested a while back...but I need to get them homes quick. so first...

    Great event

    I wanted to go, but hurt my arm (turns out it is fractured). Sorry I missed it. I still would like to donate something and I need to renew my membership too. What address can I send a check to?

    Well the tank is looking good and almost here, Don has done a great job on the stand, the sump workbench is ready to install and then I need to run some plumbing and electrical. I still have to take down my 29 gallon tank to make room and the rose bulbs need to go to their homes. So here's...

    what is the best skimmer to step up to for a 110 gallon total volume system?

    my new tank is 20x36x22 tall and I was figuring in the volume from the 34x16x10" water level sump too (estimating).

    what is the best skimmer to step up to for a 110 gallon total volume system?

    What are some good choices for the "next step" skimmer for me? I have the G2 skimmer and Sedra 3500 modified with the mesh mod and the gate valve, but it is somewhat less of a skimmer than I thought and I feel like it should produce more foam than it does. It would be mounted in my sump (see...

    Well no fire can keep me down!!

    Just for some input... My business sees a lot of fire causing items brought in for x-ray to see which wire did what. we see drills, battery chargers, power cords, but mostly we see melted outlet strips that started fires brought in. They are typically the cheap ones and were overloaded with...

    I am taking it all with a grain of salt trying not to stress. It takes a lot of coordination to have everything ready to go, and I am not really ready yet anyway. Still working on the sump bench and DonW is doing the stand waiting on last confirming measurements before he finishes. Jesse from...

    Ok, talk about a reef nut. So this week I am having underground sprinklers put in and one of my questions to the contractor was " so how much to run an extra waterline under my house up through the wall into my garage to put a hose bib for my RO system and have running water for my testing...

    anyone have a really small tank with a decent light to use as a holding tank for some frags, shrimp and a few things while I swap out tanks? Maybe a 10 gallon with some decent lights??

    I am getting to the point where I need to think about tearing down my 29 gallon tank and get ready for the new tank. It will probably be in the next two weeks. For those who asked me about the rose bubble tips, pm me, I will post a date and then try to shoot for a Saturday to have them ready...

    Funny Diving Story!!!

    Hate to say it but that is an old story. I heard it in my commercial diving days in the early eighties, but I think it could be true. I dove hot water suits and they are great, like diving with a jacuzzi around you. If the tender upstairs messes up on the temperature control, you can get...

    175 or 250W over my 30g?

    I have a 175watt and 2 T5 actinics over my 29 tank. It does ok for softies, but SPS have too little light to really thrive. My new tank is a 70 gallon and will have 2 - 250s and 4 T5 bulbs. Buy smart, buy the best the first time. I keep learning that lesson over and over (skimmers, lights...

    *need help ASAP*, questions about global warming on ocean

    I am all for saving the planet and I hate to see the impact of man's overuse of the earth's resources. I don't want to sound really selfish, because I know it would be devastating...but I just have to say, living in Seattle...I could only imagine just a little bit of global warming. If it...
