    Movie Mess Ups...LETS HEAR THEM!

    An old Arnold Swartzenegar (wow, never really tried to spell that b4) called Commando has so many errors in it that I don't know where to begin. One of my favorites is when he causes a Porsche 911 to crash onto its side. After he disposes the driver he pushes the car back over onto its wheels...

    Nano Evaporation

    ATO... stands for automatic top off. It uses a holding tank of freshwater and a pump that is hooked up to a float switch in your tank. When the water drops below a predetermined level the pump kicks in and fills your tank. I don't know how to make one, although I have seen some threads, but...

    never ending battle

    PATIENCE!! Sorry didn't mean to yell. It took about 4 months before they decided to go away in my 24NC. Try a bag of Purigen in the rear chambers. You also might want to consider more snails, especially a turbo. They love algae, yum yum! If all else fail just grab it when you do a wtaer...

    Nano Evaporation

    The evaporation isn't any worse with the surface skimmer it just seems like it. The reason this is is because all of the evap. happens in the rear chambers which is a smaller area, thus it appears to evaporate faster. I lose about 1.5 gallons a day in the winter out of my 24! The best way to...

    NC12DX light upgrade kit

    Originally Posted by gregzbobo I looked at the 70w halide upgrade, I can toss in a single 24w pc to get a total of 96 watts. The light from the halide is probably a bit more intense, but is the premium price worth it? The 4 bulb PC kit is only about 135 bucks, the 70W halide setup is quite a bit...

    zoo trouble

    I really didn't know where to put this so I decided to go in the thread with the most people I just recently added a 70MH and 36PC to my nanocube. Everyone seemed to adjust well enough to the new lights. I have slowly been increasing my MH on time so my corals can accimilate properly...
