Entropy

I am not sure. It has a logo on the top. I will look at it when I get home and see if I can get a model number off it.

Used Koralia 4 for sale. It does not have the new shroud. I couldn't squeeze a fifth one into my tank so the first $25 takes it.

bumpasaurus... OBO for the two ballasts.

sale pending

**SOLD**

Just keep feeding it. It will split on its own.

I don't think I would trust Chinese waste water, now matter how much filtration was used. Eeeeck!!!!

The dimensions are off or tank size is off. 53x23x31=164 gallons

I have four K4's and they don't move unless I mess with the cord. As for this poll, I think it depends on what you are keeping but for the average reef I think you should push as much water through your sump as your skimmer can process, unless you are using the return pump for your flow in the tank. For circulation in the tank (non filtering) I think you should have as much as you can get. I wouldn't add a pump just to add it, but if you have any dead spots adding more circulation can only help and I think you have to keep the pumps in scale with your tank. Adding 4 Koralia 4's to a 29g for instance would fit fine, but would probably just create a whirlpool. In my 135g I have a Rio2100 for the return pump (roughly 300 gph return), and four Koralia 4's for in tank circulation. I actually have 5 of the K4's, I just haven't figured out how to squeeze the fifth one in there yet. I am guessing I have about 30x turnover in the tank, maybe 35x depending on what flow numbers you believe for the Koralias.

That's what I figured. I can pay you know to hold assuming it will not be too long. It's got to be better than the Urchin I am using now.

I'll take the skimmer/pump when you are ready to part it.

What does your lighting schedule look like? I just add a T5 actinic to my tank so mine looks like this: 3:00 PM left side halide comes on 3:15 PM right side halide comes on 8:45 PM single T5 actinic (39w) centered goes on 9:00 PM left side halide goes off 9:15 PM right side halide goes off 10:15 PM T5 goes off 10:15 PM led night light goes on 12:00 AM led night light goes off I pushed my halides up an hour and added an hour of on time to each plus added the actinic for an hour. I only have a couple of zoo colonies so I am interested in see what they do. Also might start adding some more stuff so it looks less like a fish only tank.

Honestly I think they do it once or twice a week. It seems like they have different style events each week so probably several times a week. See the link below. The Jack Hanna specific one is only once or twice a year but it would be pretty awesome otherwise. I think you might have to have a kid though. It says Pre K - 8th grade, but you can always call to make sure (or borrow a kid). To be honest, most of the older kids where by themselves, but most of the little kids had parents along. They have a group event as well so we could in theory have a ARC or MAAST get together. I think they might have done that with MAAST last year or something like that. http://www.swbg-adventurecamps.com/adventu...pover/index.htm

I paid about $2000 for mine. I figured I could get one from Marine Depot for $8 or just get kidney stones and make a hospital visit. Hey at least I got a really cool drip line out of it.

I wonder if there is a safe way to rig the shop vac to the router (Flowbee style). It probably still wouldn't catch everything, but it might make clean up a bit easier. Congrats on routing your own baffles!

If you really want to get your feet wet without much financial risk go with damsels. You can can get them for $3 a piece in most cases and they are extremely hardy. They don't get along with much else or each other, but they will do well in a tank that size and if you lose a couple learning it will not break the bank. You can also mix in chromis (again $3) and clowns ($10-15).

I am thinking about a small UPS for my Koralias. Even just keeping one going would be enough for a while IMO. At 10-15 watts for 1 pump I bet a small UPS could keep it going for at least a hour. In my case I would just like to keep the pumps from clacking everytime the power blinks on and off.

And BMWaaron was in the laundry room with prefect access to the bleach. Man you should have heard my five Koralias clacking away over and over again. I think I need to get a UPS for the tank just so the little brown outs don't drive everything crazy.

Hope for the best is my plan. If a tornado hits the house the last thing I am going to be worried about is my fish tank. Hiding in the downstairs powder room aint much fun either.

T5's with the right reflectors are much better. Without them they are about even IMO.

The economy is hurting right now. First thing to go is the toys. People stop buying toys, businesses go out of business. Oh and it is really hard to run a successful LFS. There might have been specific reasons but that is my guess.

A UV sterilizer will pretty much kill anything live that goes through it at least on the simple cell level. The trick is to get all the bad stuff to go through it. I have never heard of it being used to control phosphate though.

I don't think a UV sterilizer is going to have any effect on your phosphate levels. To get rid of phosphates you need something to bond with it so you can remove it. A product like phosban or something.

I'll be there.
