Mel in Elgin

Gone

I can never catch Stinky's open :-( if you really want it, give me a call...we'll work something out :-)

So, I don't want to drive from Elgin to RCA and I need RO water. If someone can pick this setup up today I will let it go for $300 bucks. The rock alone is worth almost twice that... Text for fastest response...5one2-five73-4zero3zero

I have plenty of pulsing xenia. Would be happy to give you a clump of it. Let me know of you haven't already found some.

Thanks everyone for the interest. Complete setup has officially been sold... Thanks Crayton... I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

I don't know if it would work for your seahorses, but I catch mosquito larvae and feed them to my fish. The fish go nuts over them...

So sorry everyone...I've been working crazy hours... Supposed to be off Tuesday. Will try to reply to everyone by then... Thanks for your patience.

So, I think I'm ready to part out. Can this whole thread be moved to the appropriate section or do I need to repost?

@ Timfish... Funny that you mention the hammer. I had been trying to feed a piece of airline tubing down the drain to see if that would help. It seemed like it should be so easy to do, but with the location and orientation of my tank I was having way more trouble than I should have had. I screamed, "I'm just going to bust the ******* thing with a ******* hammer!!!!!!". My husband thinks I'm losing it

I was finally able to feed the tubing down into the drain and instantly it was almost silent.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!!!! Ya'll Rock

Hi guys... Sorry for the delay in answering. I've been cleaning aquariums all day. The overflow is drilled, but it is weird. It is drilled into the back of the aquarium not the bottom. So the water goes over the edge and actually drains out the back of the aquarium down into the sump. The overflow box is very narrow so I don't think I could fit an elbow onto the bottom of a gurgle buster. I'll try to get some pics but it is in a weird position in a corner (hard to get to).

I'm wanting to build a gurgle buster for my extremely noisy overflow on my 40G Breeder. It looks easy enough to build, but my overflow drains out the backside of my tank. All of the illustrations I've found show the overflows that just go straight down from the bottom... Any ideas?????

Just got some last week from reefs2go.com They were buy one get one free. Not sure if that is still going on but it's a great deal.

That tank is awesome!

I have the 36" version of the T5 on my 40 gallon breeder and it's been great. Of course, I don't have any terribly light dependent corals in that tank. I do have a GBTA and a few heads of candy cane that are doing fine. Other than those I have xenia, chalices, acans, zoas, palys, and a big a$$ toadstool <none of which are too light demanding> .

Wow...that looks pretty neat! Can hardly wait to see the after pics

Great Story.....

I have some you can have...but are you sure you want it in your display? It has a tendency to go crazy and try to take over (at least it did in my tank) I've been pulling it out for months.

Oh wow! I didn't realize they could be cleaned and reused... Thanks.

How often do you change filter socks? mine is really brown and gross looking but it is covered with pods. I hate to lose all of them by changing it out...

Try dabbing the sting with bleach... I've never been stung {knocking on wood} but my poor husband and son have both been stung multiple times. I just recently heard to put bleach on it so the last time my son was stung on the leg I grabbed my clorox bleach pen and put a small dot on the sting. He said it "instantly went away"...

Worth a try...
