    HOW DO YOU GIVE UP A 2 NOTHING LEAD in SOCCER????

    Ya, Howard did a great job. The announcers kept mentioning he'd have to have a great game if the US wanted to win. I thought he did, and two goals so early seemed very promising. But after watching the Spain v South Africa game I knew half-time was way too early to declare victory.

    Is a metal halide alone enough?

    Will a reef tank thrive on a metal halide bulb alone, or does it need T5's to supplement? My tank is 50 gallons and about 20 inches high. It came (it's a used tank) with a hood that just has one 150 HQI bulb and two moonlights. Do I need to upgrade to a hood that will support PC's or T5's if I...

    AWI Dual Home Reef RO/DI

    Well, scratch the whole "it worked" thing. After getting maybe 1/4 cup to come out last night, I figured everything was good. I let it run overnight and this morning I got the same piddly amount. Suggestions?

    AWI Dual Home Reef RO/DI

    Thank you. I couldn't for the life of me figure it out so I made the brilliant decision to look for installation instructions for a different RO filter. What do you know, figured it out. Got the membrane installed, hopefully I'll have some results in the next few hours.

    AWI Dual Home Reef RO/DI

    Another dilemma is that water does not seem to be flowing into the RO/DI for very long. When I loosen the supply valve, I can hear water dribbling into the RO/DI, but seconds later I hear nothing. It's like I completely lose pressure for some reason. It's connected to the kitchen sink's cold...

    AWI Dual Home Reef RO/DI

    I bought the Dual Home Reef New Style and installed it this weekend, along with a new sink, faucet, and disposal. As stated above, the directions are horrible. I have leftover parts, and three hours after turning things on, I still have no water. I really wish I'd checked here first; I could...

    Lighting for a 55g? New to the hobby.

    Thanks for the info in this thread. Good, clear language that's easy to understand. I bought before doing enough research (can you ever do enough?) and am stuck with a set of power compact lights for now. I've got two 65W 10Ks and two 65W UltraActinic, along with moon lights. It's a 60gal, about...
