Do you normally top off your ponds with water straight from the tap? If so the RO/DI waste water is not going to make a difference IMO. How much water are you talking about by the way? Ro/DI waste water is really not much worse that the input water in the grand scheme of things. Most RO/DO units have a 5 to 1 rejection rate (or similar) so 5 gallons of RO/DI waste water has the same impurities as 6 gallons of tap water. Then again my 700 gallon pond is green like Kermit the frog right now, so I may not be the best source for advice.

I am in for the 19th. I am not looking to order much though (probably $10).

Honestly I don't know what kind of 20k bulb I have right now. I picked it up for free at the end of it's useful life cycle. Six months later I think it is time for a new one. I am not growing anything so it is not a huge deal, but I would like to start some softies. What I have now is very white with a lot of blue, closer to a 14k bulb I think. Similar to the Iwasaki 15k (175w). I run it unsupplemented so color is more important than par.

Looks like I have a taker (in under 3 minutes). Don't you people have anything better to do than troll the fish forums? I will let you know if they back out.

I have both of these guys in my sump (been there a while). The cardinal got the crap beat out of it by my red stripe angel, and the spotted goby got hammered by my yellow watchman (30x30 is not big enough for us all to get along?). Anyway they both seemed to have recovered their fins since the assault, and are living pretty happily in my sump, but it seems silly to have an extra bioload from fish I don't get to see. Free to a good home. Keep in mind these are $5 fish, so driving from Nebraska to get them doesn't make much sense.

Does it have a stand?

I don't suppose you are letting the sand go? I have been toying with putting sand in my tank.

That room is going to look so much better with a nice dinner table...

Remember that a 90g is a relatively small tank when you start talking 400w bulbs. A dual 400w setup will cook the average 90g setup. I ran dual 175's and 2x110w VHo actinics over my original tank (90g) and it grew everything just fine (SPS, LPS, softies). I think 250w probably has the most options bulb wise, but the Iwasaki 15k 175w bulb beats many of the 250's and compares really well to the rest. I think with 400's you will need a chiller (or a massive sump).

It is still Friday Chris... Is the Magnum complete?

I think you will find that there is way too many variables to make it useful. Even identical items vary from batch to batch. It is very frustrating sometimes.

In my old tank I used to just go after it with a knife and give it away in ziploc bags. I gave away tons of it, but it got to the point where no one in my club wanted anymore. I was super careful at first and then I realised I couldn't kill this stuff anyway so I just used the paring knife and did my best to scrape off the leftovers.
-
Did you ever sell the 180g?

My sixline spent a month in the overflow before I figured out it was in there. I had to take the Durso apart and fish it out with a small net. This is one of the reasons I don't glue my durso together. My current tank is viewable from the side, so it is a lot easier to see fish in the overflow. Over course with a 2 inch drain, it is a lot easier for them to end up in the sump as well which is why I has to put a strainer on the drain opening.

I just use 2 liter bottles full of RO. Fill them about 80%, freeze them, drop them into the water (I used to use them in my sump in my old house), and then return them to the freezer before bed. I only have about 100g of water in my current set up so I just leave my three 5g jugs inside the house the night before.

I will take the following if they are still available.

I have a 58g 30x30x15(Tall) Glass Cages cube (Rimless). I can't see you trading a 180g for it, but just thought I would throw that out there.

You could always plug your lights into a non GFCI outlet. Honestly I don't worry about the lights as much as stuff actually in the tank (heaters/pumps/etc.). You can always turn off the lights if you are working in the tank to avoid any risk. IMO a GFCI is not going to save the tank if the lighting falls in.

All gone....

All that is left: Aquarium Systems Natural Wave Wavemaker This is basically a six outlet power strip with three of them on a wavemaker. You can see the specs on Marine Depot. 39w T5 Actinic bulb Giesemann This is a 36 inch bulb (33 inch actual I think). I used it for about six months.
-
What all do you want out of list? There is one person ahead of you, but I don't know what they want either. I guess it is only Wed, so the garbage man doesn't come until the day after tomorrow.

Aquarium Systems Natural Wave Wavemaker This is basically a six outlet power strip with three of them on a wavemaker. You can see the specs on Marine Depot. CoralVue 250w Metal Halide Eballast. Not pretty, but works great. Has a mogul socket, but no reflector. Does NOT have a power cord. VHO sockets prewired (two sets of two). These were left over from a 4x110w VHO setup so they can stretch to four foot bulbs (probably longer) or any of the shorter bulbs. 39w T5 Actinic bulb Giesemann This is a 36 inch bulb (33 inch actual I think). I used it for about six months. Garbage man picks up tomorrow.

My stupid clown keep trying to eat the smaller ones. They seem to be alright after being spit out, but the clown has been doing it for two days now. I only lost a couple of the Florida Ceriths. They rest are going fine. Maybe mine were packed correctly.

On a side note, I think black looks better (at least on the vertical seams). I don't think it is that much more expensive to get black, but like mentioned above make sure it is 100% silicone with no additives.
