^^ Kris that is good advice. I have certainly been guilty of messing with things just because I wanted to, not because I have needed to and a lot of times all hell has broken loose. Saltyjay, You think you have plenty of rock to handle your bio-load, but what you are seeing doesn't support that...

The one we have is just a carbon filter.

I have one more question for anyone out there. Is there any special way I need to change from cc to sand, or can I just take the cc out and put the sand in all at once. I don't want to make any major mistakes. <hr></blockquote> SCUBANUT - To play it safe I would keep some of that CC around...

^^^ I heard the same thing about 10 gal. -- Ameriglas has good prices on bits. I did recently ask my old boss how we used to do this. He said we used a diamond core bit and went slow. We used to use a glass dam to help keep the bit cool. If you can't find those, substitutes work like using...

Maybe if you had the sump in the garage! Of course there are other things you could have a big pump on... :D

I don't think that is too much. Some people with stonies even go up towards 10w/gal. You did the right thing by moving it higher. I had a 30 long with a 150w mh. I kept mine high. You can see it in my sig. Keep the mh. :)

he's using that pump to run water through a PC chip cooling device.<hr></blockquote> That's whack. I am surprised I don't see a Tesla coil running in the background. :D Hey teog, If you could elaborate on why they were [hr] that would be cool. Did they break? Like I said in my first...

This mad scientist seems to like his a lot: <a href="http://www.procooling.com/reviews/html/waterblock_roundup_part1-page2.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.procooling.com/reviews/html/waterblock_roundup_part1-page2.shtml</a> ~what the heck is that guy up to anyway? <img...

This is from a 1993 thread: I have had two of the QVs on my 220 gal for many years. They seem to last about 3 years at 400 gph at 6' head. They need to be oiled every 6 months. They accumulated dust should be blown out at that time to aid cooling. I recently replaced one with an energy efficient...

They do still make those: customaquatics has them. so does the doctor site. Whoa! Let me know how it works

Hey Wolf, I haven't heard the hydro come up in a long time. I almost bought one eight years ago or so, but I heard somewhere that they have quality control issues with them. So I didn't bite. I was always attracted to them b/c of that speed dial. I thought that was a great idea. Recently, I...

Uel, I think it may be your massive water changes that are throwing everything out of whack leading to the stress that causes something to die everytime you do a water change. Just a guess.

nice broomer. :D

Did you just edit your post broomer? Or was that a clone that survived?! :D

No you are not. But I wouldn't know a petri dish if it hit me in the face. Anyway, I would prefer farm-raised to clones. Clones seem kinda 'fake' to me. Like I might as well buy the bubbling plastic fish aquarium from Walgreens or something. But Wamp is on to something with Godzilla. <img...

No problem. Good thread.

I think that those eclipse hoods can retrofitted by custom sea life.<hr></blockquote> Thanks for that nugget madd catt! I have a 6 gallon eclipse plant tank that needs better lighting. Those kits look great! :)

This is Monty. He is quite a character. Somebody I work with was giving him away, so I took him. Make a beach for him in a 37 gallon tank out of egg-crate and window screening. The pump and heater are inside the beach. (Anyone know what kind of turtle he is? I have a hard time matching him with...

Is a 30 gallon too small for reef?<hr></blockquote> No. My last one was a 30 long. In a country like mine-Asia Pacific (all summer) would all round 80F temp in the tankl too hot for reef?<hr></blockquote> Is that with aquarium lights on? Either way, it is pushing it, I would look at DIY...

I'm sorry, I do not follow you. Are you saying that there are synthetic (salt water) salts that have iodine and all that engineered in them?<hr></blockquote> Yes, that is what I am saying. ~ Sorry for the late reply, I crashed out last night. These links were given to me a while ago by broomer5...
