    Hydor Smart Level Control - When does it turn on the pump?

    You sure put a lot of thought into microbubbles ;-) In my case, what I meant is when I'm sleeping the water level in the return area of the sump would get down to where the top of the pumps are exposed. Also when I try to be like all the rest of you and don't check my skimmer for a whole day and...

    Hydor Smart Level Control - When does it turn on the pump?

    BTW I figured out why mY water looks clearer. Its because with the water level constant I'm not getting microbubbles in the tank.

    Last video - tank complete

    Thanks! The Golden Butterfly gets those piss chills right after trying to eat the green carpet. He's like a masochist, he seems to enjoy the pain :cool:

    That was in Houston, 35 years ago. Sorry, I thought you meant is this one only my second Flame. I've had many disasters before finally getting the tank to where it is now. You'd think at 60 I'd have learned patience by now.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......*gasp*....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh man, that was a good one. One flame angel. This is actually Flame Angel #4. I've had 5 Emperors, 4 Blue Faces, 3 Naso Tangs. Please, don't even get me started. :rolleyes:

    Sweet! Wish I could have corals but my lunatics even try to eat my green carpet anemone! Here's probably my last video of the tank for a long time. It's pretty much done so unless they come up with a song and dance routine, there's no point in shooting more video.

    Make your tank live wallpaper on your android phone

    There's a free app for Android (probably for iPhones too) that let's you shoot footage of anything (in our cases, our tanks) and turn the video into live wallpaper. It's called LWP Maker (for Live Wall Paper). Just thought some of you would like to know.

    Hydor Smart Level Control - When does it turn on the pump?

    Agreed! With my back acting up lately its been a godsend. I love watching the level lights go off and then come back on as the water level rises. Almost as much fun as watching my skimmer working. Fish? What fish?:D

    Hydor Smart Level Control - When does it turn on the pump?

    I don't know why, but since I installed the ATO, my water is clearer than ever. Maybe keeping the level constant is a help. I do know my skimmer has never worked better.

    Shouldn't fish be scared to death of approaching a green carpet anemone?

    I've already got a percula who shows no interest in any of the nems. I know it would fight with another clown and I've had enough aggression in the tank. All is peaceful now. The green carpet has survived for almost 3 months now so...maybe he's a masochist. :eek:

    Shouldn't fish be scared to death of approaching a green carpet anemone?

    Well, now, things are getting even more interesting regarding my "favorite" LFS. They sold me, neigh, they PUSHED me to get the Golden butterfly, knowing I have mushrooms and anemones in my tank. They sold me the nems knowing I had the Blue Face, and just this past Sunday, I went to buy a LTA...

    Just get my order

    Yes. Try to avoid hitting testicle and go for the nutsack. Remember, it's testicle, not tentacle.

    Shouldn't fish be scared to death of approaching a green carpet anemone?

    Well, today I diverted the fish with a chunk of shrimp, then lowered another chunk into the nem. This time he took it and immediately closed up around it. The Golden Butterfly and Blue Face still tried to get in and grab the shrimp. These guys really are crazy. It appears they are eating the...

    Hydor Smart Level Control - When does it turn on the pump?

    Just picked up a Hydor Smart Level Control, used, from my good ol' pals at my favorite LFS. If this thing is no good and they refuse to give me my money back it will be a dark day in the aquarium biz. OK, with that out of the way, when does this thing turn on the pump to top off my sump? When...

    red fire shrimp

    I don't put anything into my tank other than trace elements and PH and Calcium replenishments, which I've been doing for months. No iodine.
