    Bring back the Old Sales Forums? Poll

    Just my opinion, but there's no reason to think this won't happen again if the classifieds become more popular. People are people. I agree that the current classified format isn't very friendly to browse, so I agree with people who want the old one back - but I voted 'no' because I think having...

    Bring back the Old Sales Forums? Poll

    Wow. I was the only one that voted 'no'? Guess I should explain my vote then! I used to come to these forums often, but have not participated in quite a while. And now that I think of it, it was probably when the classifieds changed - but that isn't why I stopped coming around. It was due to...

    Upgrade issue "Post Here"

    That does the trick. Thanks. No headaches, the threads fill the entire width now, and no glitchy scrolling. If I want to see a reef, I just go look at my tank! OK, OK... I get the idea. But like I said before, it's not that I don't like the picture... I just don't like what the page design...

    Upgrade issue "Post Here"

    As far as the background settings that disappeared... can't we at least get what was there for a couple weeks back again? Did those really have to go away in order to add new options? I really can't believe I'm the only one who isn't visiting much anymore because of this...

    Upgrade issue "Post Here"

    The whole reason I brought it up was because I *couldn't* choose the default skin. Trust me... if the option was there, I wouldn't have brought it up again. It was there once, and it went away. But it's back now, and I can see the skin chooser in the lower left now, and I'll stop complaining.

    Ditto. (Adding text to get over the dumb 10 character requirement. That should do it...)

    Upgrade issue "Post Here"

    DonW - Using either MSIE7 or Firefox 3.6.12... no bottom lower left page ability to change the skin. Nor is it in the User Control Panel like it was yesterday. I had set mine to the old default where I had a nice plain white background that I could look at for more than 5 minutes at a time. Not...

    Upgrade issue "Post Here"

    Me neither. I was able to change my skin yesterday through the control panel/user settings, but that option isn't there anymore. And I'm not seeing that option on the bottom of *any* page. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

    Upgrade issue "Post Here"

    I can deal with std def on a widescreen TV, because the bars on the side are black. Although it's a sweeeet reef picture, for me, it's really distracting to the point my eyes kind of go buggy after a bit. Am I missing how to use the default skin to make the background plain? [Edit: nevermind...

    PC lighting - Anybody here still use it and why?

    2x 96W on a 46g. Mostly LPS with a few easy SPS here and there. Why is it my lighting of choice? Because it's what I started with and I haven't found a compelling reason to change. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of closet PC folks out there... they're just too embarrassed to admit it...

    Neptune Apex

    Faceplate? I'm thinking maybe you ordered a faceplate for an AC3 or something, because I'm not really seeing how a faceplate would work with the Apex display.

    Neptune Apex

    I couldn't be happier with my Apex. I have a really simple system, but it's nice to have intelligent control on my fans now, and not just have them on a timer. I hated it when I'd see my fans and heaters on at the same time! The ability for email/text message alerts as well as remote access via...

    online websites

    Quality of their inventory doesn't do me any good if they don't ship it to me when it is expected. But yes... the quality was fine.

    online websites

    I used to praise LiveAquaria up one side and down the other. No more. I won't go in to the ugly details, but let's just say don't trust their "in stock" notation on their website. It means nothing since they don't have "real time inventory" on their CA shipments. Kind of makes it hard to be...

    USPS failure don't use them

    The thing is, when you dig down into the USPS's fine print, their "express" delivery is not a "guaranteed" service. In other words, they will try to get it to you ASAP, but if it's a big mail day, or your carrier calls in sick, or you're on a route that doesn't have a consistent carrier, or or...

    Source for rubber bushings on Mag3 pump shaft?

    So I've had my Danner/Mag3 pump long enough to know that after 9-12 months or so it will start to make a racket. I replace the impeller and all is well for another 9-12 months. What seems to be happening is that the rubber bushings on the ends of the impeller shaft seem to shrink over time...

    Reef salinity and pH???

    I thought 35ppt was closer to 1.026-ish? Quote from http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/1/chemistry ... "For example, the specific gravity of natural seawater (S =35) is 1.0278 using the 3.98 °C standard, 1.0269 using the 60 °F standard, 1.0266 using the 20 °C standard, and 1.0264 using the...

    Water Proof Power Strip

    Gotta worry about things that advertise "global distributors wanted" on their website! Pretty sure you'll never see a UL label on that thing!

    Heating per Gallon?? Help Needed.

    I stumbled across this chart a while back and it seemed accurate... http://home.comcast.net/~jps201/heater.html Marineland used to have a good chart like this on their website until they went and "improved" all their products.
