used, still in great shape. comes with pre-filter box for maxijet 1200 but it needs a maxijet 1200, ($20 new), since i robbed it for my wavemaker on the 75 :D 100 bucks plus shipping, or local pickup in the hampton roads area....

anybody know the average grain size of yardright play sand?

could it just be a coincidence that the past 4 times we've had a "random" urinalysis at work i've been on the list, or have i been flagged for my recent purchases under the assumption that i'm running a hydroponics lab? (water pumps, metal halides, etc.) or am i just being paranoid??? :D for...

my skunk cleaner shrimp steal food while i spot feed, does anyone know if the fire shrimp do this as well? i'm contemplating getting rid of the skunks because even though i enjoy their presence they don't serve any purposes besides stealing food from my corals.

i've been using a mag 7 for a while now, and even though i clean the impeller etc. it still has problems starting back up if there's a loss of power. in order to get it to work i have to pull it out of the water for a second and drop it back in, then it starts back up. i've got 2 that both do...

anyone know where i can find a bulkhead for the internal overflow i'm building for my 75? i'm gonna have it drilled and i haven't had much luck finding them online. or should i just build one? if so, what should i use to make it out of?

i've got 2 175's that i'm going to run over my 75 once i move everything over from my 55, just wondering if anyone else is running 175's over their 75 gallon tanks and if so what types of corals they keep/which ones do well in their systems.
