Do or do not, Ty. There is no try. DADDY NEEDS A HAWKINS.

Whenever you want that 2x cable, i want some of that hawkins or efflo or whatever that blue spike is. Wowza!

Guys, I'd like you to all bow your heads. This is a very sad day. From A.J. himself, "I had to abandon it, when my fiancee that I shared the house with and I split. Can't have a 440 gallon reef tank in a third floor apartment, for some strange reason. ~sigh~" Women. Can't reef with em, can't reef without em.

looks great Ty! very smooth camera motions

I Pledge Allegiance, To the tank, Which may or may not actually exist, And to the dropoff, Which we all want to see, One tank, two halves, indivisible, With Skimmers and SPS for all. Amen.

SO GLAD THIS GOT BUMPED. TODAY IS THE DAY GUYS. MY PALM READER TOLD ME THAT A "DROPOFF" WAS COMING IN MY LIFE@!!! SO EXCITED!

youll be OK for a day or two. stuff won't be happy, but it's not gonna die on you. KimP used to have AIs, so you might see who she sold them to. I think RichardL also has them. Post in the WTB section and offer them a free cat for their trouble.

Your best bet is probably going to be finding someone else with an AI in town who you can borrow a power supply from. Swap it in, see if it works and move from there.

holy moly! Biggest colony I've ever seen!

So to add to your discussion of ammonia in tap, the way that chloramine is introduced into treated water is that a mixture of chlorine and ammonia gasses are mixed with the water. If they don't get that ratio correct, you can end up with excess ammonia. Depending on a few variables (how far from the water treatment plant, which water treatment plant, etc) you could very well get different ammonia concentrations depending on that mixture on any given day.

Yeah, I used RO for years before I made that connection. Assuming a RO/DI is useing a TFC membrane (CFC is before the carbon instead of after, less common configuration) supply water goes through the sediment filter which pulls stuff out then goes through the carbon filter which pulls more stuff out so when it goes to the RO membrane a lot of stuff has been removed, chlorine being one example (but note ammonia is not removed even by the RO membrane and DI resin). You say the bit about ammonia quite a bit, and unless there is something I am misunderstanding, ammonia has a net negative charge which makes it amenable to be removed by DI resin. "The extent of removal by the RO membrane depends on pH. At pH 7.5 or lower, reverse osmosis will remove ammonia from 1.4 ppm-Cl monochloramine to less than 0.1 ppm ammonia. The DI resin then removes any residual ammonia to levels unimportant to an aquarist." http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-11/rhf/feature/

RIP c67stang. i am a ghost.

lately i've been doing frequent water changes and making 20-25 gal per week. but more of the problem is getting to the store. sure, going to the store and looking at fish is fun, but the hours on the LFS leave it hard for me to get the consistently. so, it is not good to be dependant on being able to drive to get water, bi weekly or so. i have been working at least 10 - 10+, 6 days a week with my one "day off" i am volunteering during LFS time. so, yeah, buying LFS water, much less water that is 45 min away (each way) to save $0.10 - $0.20 is a bit on the silly side. PS: i'm actually more of the put popcorn in the microwave, wander off, and come back 3 hours later with "why am i hungry, i made popcorn". Youre gonna need an autoshutoff valve...

Yes.
