  1. Thanks to Dave and Robin! Beautiful tanks, and thanks for letting us all congregate in your living room. Good to meet everyone!
  2. I've seen several references to "aggressive" skimming. Is this running more than one skimmer? Or a skimmer larger than ordinary for a tank? Either? Should this be done as a routine practice or just on an as-needed basis?

    WTB Tank

    Scratch the acrylic (pun intended). WTB glass.
  4. Just to be sure: Wryknow and I haven't come to any agreements, so there's no "lock" on this system. First come, first serve.
  5. The 4-6" range is about what I was thinking, but it pays to get experienced opinions. thanks all!
  6. Found the option to dump the stodgy old email inspired display name and changed it to one that I used when I worked with Ubisoft.
  7. Everyone knows I'm looking for a larger tank. Once that happens I'll have to put the thing somewhere. Actually the spot is easy. The question I have regards how far from the wall it should be placed. Too far out and it looks silly. Too close and it seems like maintenance could be a real pain. Where's the sweet spot?
  8. I'm working on getting my kitchen pass from The Boss, but she has us booked for some other "delightful" social thing.
  9. The tank is 6.5 BCUs* high. (* Beer Can Units)
  10. LOL and +2! Jollyville--do you mean the Parmer/McNeil-ish area?
  11. Pretty, but kinda makes me think of lawn maintenance. I have a wife for that. (and yes, she does all the lawn stuff. She calls it "exercise" and I'm quite willing to let her indulge in that "workout." Personally I'd pay the kid two doors down to do the yard.)
  12. I read this post thinking I'd find some information on gift cards at a LFS or something, but omg that is funny!
  13. You may have an add-on that's causing the problem.
  14. FF 3.5.5 is just about all I use.

    Perodicals?

    Good info, I'll do those things. Thanks Reefman and Derry!
  16. I'm reading Fenner's book and he's really a proponent of acrylic over glass. Has anyone had experience with both?
  17. I'm reading the standard recommended books, but I'd like to get some ideas on good SW periodicals, especially any that may be good for us noobs. Ben
  18. Searching for a tank. PM me if you have one to sell!

  19. Thanks for the PM. Wow, that is HUGE! It's probably deeper than I was thinking since my arms aren't 29" long Ben

    WTB Tank

    Anyone have any large tanks? Acrylic and scratch-free preferred.
