    obama steps in it

    And it would take me the same week to teach you that economics is theory not reality! I doubt very seriously that you or other economists can agree on any one thing. Anybody can twist and spin numbers in their favor. That is a fact. I won't even make an attempt to go in any other subjects b/c...

    obama steps in it

    Senator Obama's quote is "ARAB WORLD" your avy says "TERRORISTS" is that such a jump? Besides everyone is all worked up over Rev Wright. How big is his congregation? How many people actually follow through with his words? Was there an uprising that I missed in Chicago? Yet its such a far reach...

    obama steps in it

    Here in lies YOUR problem, you confuse the entirety of the ARAB world with Terrorists. Did he solicit Hamas or any other Radical group for support? Has anyone found any evidence that he has in the past or now accepted funds from any one of these groups? So I would assume you feel that the KKK...

    Don't Do This

    Just to add... When feeding frozen foods DO NOT put the water that the food was thawed in, in the tank! Always strain off the water and just add the thawed food!

    Sump Return Pump - How Much is Too Much?

    Sounds to me like to OF's can handle the flow but maybe you're out flowing the sump. With the added flow is there enough time for the bubbles to disapate before being returned to the tank? I mean 1200 is fine for the tank but maybe not the sump. Can you adjust the flow of the pump a bit and see...

    Good alkalinity test kit?

    I use Salifert on everything but ALK. I like the Tropic Marin kit. One bottle count drops and done. Its as accurate as Salifert b/c I have that too and matches perfectly everytime. HTH Tim

    New to Sumps , need advice.

    If your thinking of a 55 I would STRONGLY suggest bumping up to a 75. Equipment is all pretty much the same but that extra 6" front to back is invaluable. Ask anybody with a 55 (me) and that is most likely the first thing they will say they wish they had was more room front to back. As Doc said...

    new to saltwater, questions...

    I had 2 electric blue hermits. (not the reg blue guys). These are the Hannibal Lecture of hermits. They wipped out all the snails and other hermits in my tank. Needless to say they found another home at the LFS!

    DENVER WATER QUALITY vs. RO Filter!!

    I think the issue with city water is consistency. You never know what or how they maintain the systems. I have to believe that variations of supply water means variations in the water being supplied to your home. Added chemicals, flushing lines, ETC ETC.......... I don't trust my well water...

    125 Reef Tank Build

    I think Ameno has a 4 way on his 125 thread I'll have to look. The dart is for the CL ro return? In either case isn't that just crazy flow for a 125? I was looking at the Wahoo or Tarpin for my 120! With that 1 pump you at almost 30x right there. Am I missing something here? Tim

    Wanderlei gets a home to come home to (mantis tank)

    Looks GREAT! Those blue spot shrooms like your tank much better than mine! You need a center piece. That white hammer I have would look mighty nice in there. Or maybe a frag of the candy I have....... I'm sure we can make a deal! You've done very well my friend! Looks very well done! Tim

    Candycane, The clams are just dandy and doing well. Still getting comfy and the mantles are fully extended over their shells and their are very responsive. Sorry I haven't taken pics yet. Been messing with the tank all morning trying to find room and I did a WC. Then my skimmer decided to go...
