    15" is one big bugger. I'd have fragged it.

    I've been a looking for one of these. Finally found one, and its in great shape. Little trick for keeping them where you want them. PVC ring or endcap protests their foot and makes them feel secure. Doesn't always work, but something to try. Clowns are hosting a Galaxia, so I put the Galaxia...

    Thinking about starting over

    I had a problem with that stuff and solved it accidentally. I recently moved and had to house my rocks and livestock in a 40 gallon breeder in the basement of my girlfriends house for six months. My halides went out and she didn't bother to tell me so the tank was under actinics only for a...

    Who has a oceans motions wave maker?

    Ditto what Matt said. 4-way firing 1&3 and 2&4 on a Sequence Dart.

    where do you pour your old water

    Down the drain. PVC doesn't corrode and a couple of flushes should clean out the cast iron, and with all the frozen burrittos I eat, there's lots of flushes.

    How to get rid of copper safe in an acrlyic tank

    Do not stalk your corals and inverts. Thats just creepy. Once you stock them, leave them alone. Mike

    Something eating my Goby/Mandarins?

    Do you have a carpet anemone. They love mandarins.

    That tank is aboooot, 240 gallons. I think its 6 ft long, 2 ft wide, and 32" deep. It was in the lobby of the hospital I worked at and sprung a leak. They were going to take it to the dump. I volunteered to take it off their hands. Took $12 worth of silicone to fix it. I cut out the entire...

    I got a new house. Couldn't afford one in Kalispell. Starters running $200,000. Wow. Look what I got for $120,000. Cenral air, 1800 sq ft, new kitchen with solid counter tops, hardwood under the rugs. I have some sanding to do. Probably cost me $300k in Kalispell. Mike

    I moved from Kalispell Charlie. You'd have had to drive 300 miles. I'm down by Billings now. And BTW how's it going? I still have that tank they gave me from the hospital lobby. Can't afford to set it up yet; MIke

    Coming right along.........

    Mutha @#$%&^ , I hate microbubbles and I can't plumb. So I got fed up and tore out all my hard plumbing in the returns of the closed loop and replaced them with vinyl tubing and hose barbs! Can anyone spot the flaw in this. First no ball valves because I was impatient and no stores were open...

    Coming right along.........

    Not too bad. I ordered diamond hole saws from a Hong-Kong guy on E-bay. I have a plastic dam with a suction cup ring that I use but you can make one from plumbers putty. You have to make sure the glass is not tempered of course. Then just cut away. The floor drain was easy in my house. I just...

    Coming right along.........

    Well this is how I planned the flow: Back jets from the Sequence Dart are on a Oceans Motions 4 that fire 1&3 and 2&4. 1&3 shoot through the back jets (1) and clear out the bottom of the rocks. Then 2&4 fires through a jet on the right side and one on the bottom (2) this pushes the debris...

    Match the texture and paint the walls: Add starboard, water, and some rocks: Okay 85 pound more rock coming today. Then cycle and add my fish, rocks and coral that have been in my little 40 gallon fish motel for months. Install the sump, ca reactor, controller, lights, phos reactor...
