Found IT!! .04 ppd...LOL

I'm pretty sure I win the Lowest PPD! Where do you see it anyway?

If you can beat my post per day you get a cookie...lowest posts that is. Dont know why I never post, must be shy. Anyway, thought It was humorous, and I would share with you all.. How else can I get my posts up?

Ive got a domino I named lucky...Because he is lucky I didnt do my homework on Domino Damsel's, I would have never got one. Now I'm afraid to get another fish in fear he will bully them...

When it came time to buy a return I tried to get as close to the OF (Overflow) GPH, without counting for Head loss...this way it will be about max, because if it starts at even, say 300gph Overflow, and 300gph return, by the time you account for head loss, the return would be under the overflow...

I heard not to drink out of aquarium filters because you change them less frequenlty than normal drinking faucet filters. And normal drinking water filters dont trap most things. These "things" that aquarium filters trap arent harmful to consume, unless they are in greater numbers. When you...

I had a diatom outbreak, and this big one must of got weighed down and broke off...I still have tons of these on a couple rocks....but only about 1/2 inch...the one pictured grew fast, to about 1.5 inch, before it disappeared. Thanks for replies!

So I have used tap water before without any prolems. Since I moved and setup my new tank I gambled with my water, well I lost. Big diatom bloom when I got my new lights. I have since bought a ro unit. My question is can I do 5% water changes daily to get my phosphates down? Is there a...

I like riddles......cause you had a fuge in that sump?

I found that feeding my fuge from the return, to be safer/easier. Just "T" the return then a ball valve right before the inlet to fuge to control flow. (as long as you dont have headheight issues) Then I have it spill right back to the return area. Your skimmer will never get rid of...

I was limited to a 10 gal tank for my sump. When you design it correctly (inlet, baffles, bubble traps, return section) you will only have room for skimmer, and heater. This was my problem with using the 10g. The main reason I built it was to incoporate a fuge. I had to make a "remote" fuge...

Thank you very much!

I have these white branch looking things all over a few peices of my LR. The tank has been set up for 7 weeks. Nothing in it except for hitchhikers. This paticular one has doubled in size the last 24 hours, probably because of my new t5 lights. Is it something I want in my tank...thanks for...

Thanks mud, I learned from my first go around with SW that you can flush cash down the drain without be patient. So this time I am going the extra mile. Besides everyone loves to add things to their tank, this way the anticipation lasts longer.

Thanks fishkid. anyone else have a specific name they could give me?

Oh snap, that should cover it! :) HTH- hope this helps FWIW- for what its worth my .02- my two cents TBH- to be honest Just some I saw on these boards lately
