    I think we need a Invert only spot on the forums!

    Hmmm, I thought one of the perks of MOM was you get to make a new fourm section? Didn't I read that somewhere?

    Help finding a Build Tread

    Hey guys, I'm not sure this is in the rules or anything but I'm trying to find a build thread. It was a really cool nano like tank. Except it was something like 10ft long. The dimensions I believe were somewhere around 18" x 18" by 10'. Also I'm not sure if it was on this fourm or another but I...

    Day to Day cost

    Thanks man. I've still got alot of planning to do. But at this point I think I just need to start buying equipment and messing with it to see how it all works.

    Wish i be there

    No thanks, I've been to Dubai. Know that wavy of heat when you open the oven after cooking? Try feeling that 24/7. Not very nice. But it sure is nice to look at.

    Day to Day cost

    Great. I just can't wait until I can go to the LFS see the $140.00 frag and know that I could actually have somewhere to put it. I seriously can't wait to set this thing up. I know nothing good ever happens fast in this hobby so I'm not going to rush but still. At least I got Coral Propagation...

    Day to Day cost

    I've already got the RO/DI. It is $52 more a month I could spend on my girlfriend but she gets spoiled anyways. :) thanks again guys. I just wanted to make sure it wasent something crazy like a car payment for a BMW a month to run the tank.

    Day to Day cost

    Nice, I completely forgot about that. Luckly I'm moving into a duplex in a month and the electricity bill is set at a standard payment. Maybe that means I need a bigger tank? :)

    Day to Day cost

My next question is about money. :) I obviously know the start up costs, (I've been hiding that from my girlfriend. I just show...

    Closed Loop 101

    Ok so basically there is no reason for placement of outlets?

    Closed Loop 101

    Right I got that slim jim. I guess I'm asking for the science of CL flow. If I have four outlets one at each corner of the tank, what would the benefit be against four outlets all at the back of the tank. Those are just examples but I hope you get my meaning. Does it really matter? Whats the...

    Closed Loop 101

    It's glass, and it already has an overflow in it so I am assuming it can be drilled. slim jim thanks for the links. There is plenty of info there. I am still going through it but It seems it is just pictures of closed loops. I was hoping for some reasons why they choose the amount of outlets and...

    Closed Loop 101

    So I want to have a closed loop system on my tank. How do I start planning for this? Its a 75gal by the way with nothing in it. Do I just say I want 4 holes on the bottom of my tank, measure and start drilling? How do I decide how many I need, where they go, and how big? I guess I'm just...

    First aquarium.

    I never thought of it as a problem. Sorry. I did not mean to seem like I was making fun of you because I wasent. Back to the aquarium though: do you know of lighting with both T5's and MH?

    First aquarium.

    No need to apologize, It dosen't bother me at all. You have given some good advice so I can deal with some extra punctuation.

    First aquarium.

    Sorry one more thing. I was looking for a good digital thermometer and got to thinking: Is there a handy gadet that can tell me things like Ph salinity and temp? I'm not looking for a controller. Just more like a monitor.

    First aquarium.

    warforged: So you think I should go MH? I like the idea of not buying more lights but the cost is keeping me away right now. Is there a hybrid T5/MH kit? maybe 6 lights 2 MH 2 T5 & 2 acticinc? (I know I can't spell.) delemi: I've got the RO/DI covered thanks to saltyfish. I still have no idea...

    Rubbermaid 18 gallon for mixing saltwater?

    Looking at that chart it appears everything on it is used for food. So what can't we use to mix SW with? Just as long as it has one of those symbols on it its good?

    First aquarium.

    Ok so drilling it is. Back to more reading :) Delemi: what's the 'Big R'?
