    refugium substrate

    ooookkkk, now i get it, the water is coming up through the sand. So how would I preforate the pvc, just get the drill out and go nuts? I'm assuming the CC is used because of the larger grain size so it doesn't block up the holes, but I always thought that over time, smaller sized grains move to...

    refugium substrate

    CC? I thought crushed coral was suposed to be bad? So do you have a layer of CC on the bottom over the pvc pipe, then aragonite over that? or is it all CC? And if your suctioning out the waste wouldn't that also suction out the benneficial critters in the sand and disturb the refugium? I think...

Here are the details on my tank oI restarted my 125g reef this spring, ordering my chiller next week, no summer melt down this year! Anyways, I always planned on...

    starting over, 125g

    thanks, yeah, I figured I'd do the fuge as an afterthought. Once the skimmer is set up and everything is running, then worry about how to set that up. I was thinking of just using a small pump and an overflow to circulate the fuge from and back to the sump. I was thinking, I have a HOT magnum...

    OK guys, I doubt if many of you would remeber me. My 125g reef which was doing wonderfully had a melt down in the 112 degree summer this year and I am finnaly ready to move on and re-start my tank. Since everything died but the live rock, I took the tank apart and put the live rock in a big...

    stingrays

    Thank you so much for the help AC. I am however a bit confused, is the 125 to small for a california or not? I wouldn't want to put a stingray in it if it wouldn't be happy.

    stingrays

    OK, I used to frequent this board all the time when I had my reef tank, but a massive heat wave and no air conditioning for a week destroyed my tank. I decided I just don't have the time to go back to reef so I am gonna go aggresive. I have seen some pics of other members stingrays and I gotta...

    Ouwld like to trade some stuff towards a chiller

    I bought the fixture last june when I first set up the 68g, a LFS in fresno told me it was "All I need" for corals..... riiiiiiiiiight. So by the end of that month I had halides, so I figured I'd use the fixture as a backup, put it in the attic, never used it again. Fired it up last week, works...

    computer fans

    You know, I think 70% of the people who post here must be in the computer industry, having seen just about everyone say they're an IT guy or a computer guy, I wonder if we should ask them to start a computer discusion section on the board

    OT: war in Iraq

    Personally, I say kick his A%^. But, I think we are doing it all wrong. First of all, we put a teriff on all chinese goods and tell them to take care of north korea and we'll remove it..boom, that threat is gone. Then, we go to war with iraq, yes I know... war is bad, but if you remember our...

    computer fans

    Ok, I have a ton of old computer fans I'd like to wire together for air flow. Their rated voltage is 12v, rated current is 13amps, and rated input power is 1.6 w. My question is, how do I figure what ac adapter to buy and how do I wire them all together

    Ouwld like to trade some stuff towards a chiller

    Ok, I need a chiller, summers in fresno hit 110. However, a 700 buck tag is a little much for me so if anyone has a used chiller they are looking to get rid of that will work for a 125g tank, I have some stuff I would gladly trade towards or for it. I have: - 68 gallon glass aquarium w/ stand -...

    BTW I'm not really excited about shipping it, so someone close to Fresno, CA is prefered, however, if you want to pay for shipping and the check clears first, then I'll do it. I will also consider trades for stuff for my 125, I need a third halide, looking for 250 - 400 watts, must be name...
