  1. I had this issue as well (high SG). What I did was to pull 1 gallon of salt water out per day (135g DT) and replaced with RO/DI water. It took a few days, but it kept anything from getting shocked by the sudden change.
  2. Not worries about a firm count. Right now, we are looking at about 20 people.
  3. Okay everyone. I will be making a batch of queso, grilling some dogs, and getting a few cases of coke (diet and reg.). If there are any special requests let me know ASAP. I have a bouncer in the backyard for any MANAGED kids that show up. This is in addition to the swing set. I hope to see some of you here. Again, sorry for scheduling on top of MAAST. James
  4. Wow. I am starting to get the jitters over here! I never thought so many people would want to come see a young tank. I look forward to all the advise, suggestions, criticism, etc. Thanks everyone, I hope this meeting turns out great!
  5. Good suggestion! Rust never crossed my mind. Heck, even hot glue may work if you have a rough surface to attach the screen.
  6. Are you trying to keep the jumpers in the tank? Velcro might work, but I think the moisture would kill the tape over time. Are staples out of the question? I will be in SA tomorrow so I cant hep, but thought I would offer some advice. James
  7. I have never made fried pickles. Is this something you make, or buy?
  8. Please be gentile. I don't have much in the tank right now but plan on stocking before the meeting. Also note that I run VHO lighting, so anyone who brings a "gift" SPS frags will most likely suffer under my lights. Let me and/or Mike know about food preferences and we will do our best to accommodate everyone's tastes. I also want to say that families are welcome. We have a play set out back that smaller children can play on. They just need to fend off my 2yr old! I am looking forward to hosting a meeting and seeing old and new faces. Again, be gentile on me. Its not the best tank in town, just a work in progress.
  9. I know the pain. I run 4 60" VHO's and can only buy them online. Dang 6 foot tanks!
  10. Anyone use baking soda to raise the alk/ph in their tanks? Both are low in my tank and thought this would be cheaper then buying some buffer. I have read several articles by Randy, but want a "Dosing Baked Baking Soda for Dummies" version. So after I bake, dry, and blend to a fine powder what do I do? I used to add buffer to my top off water but it left a nasty deposit in my sump. Is there a trick to this? Any advise is greatly appreciated. James
  11. The more I think about it, a virtual machine may not work. If the controller has any USB connections they will not respond in a VM. Have you tried calling the software place and see if they have workarounds?
  12. PM me with specifics and I will try to help. We may be able to fix it or load a VM that will work. James
  13. Cool. Thanks for sharing that. Is it safe to say that you will enable this feature on ARC?

    I use the Aqua Lifter, but I dont think it will work on 3 1/2 feet of head. I could be wrong.
