  1. The tank is looking good, Kim. I am having a hair algae problem, too. I think I am going to try the water change and scrubbing thing.
  2. i'm alive, just slammed. can't complain about too much work. tanks are doing well, but i haven't been able to get to a store and buy anyhting to add since april/may sometime.

      You're in good company! I'm lucky if I have time to check my PMs and emails.

      I think tanks do better when we just let them go for a while and not fiddle :). Welcome back to a more active lurking :)

  3. Thank you for the ideas, I will be looking into it. Cement board is my plan at the moment. So with the silica, this would just be mounted up high under the stand and swapped out as needed? I've never heard of it and sounds very manageable. And it's an excuse to buy shoes. "But honey, we need the silica, you don't want moldy walls, do you?"
  4. looks good man. how exciting.
  5. i agree the canopy looks nice. as for the aiptasia issue, i'd add the peppermints before moving it over. in case that solve it you can try other things to take care of it before it goes into the new tank.
  6. Serious only? Party pooper. The things that I see asked often here that may benefit from video. 1. Apex programming 2. Sump build (like construction techniques, not design). 3. Rodi hookup. 4. How to frag ____.
  7. PSA: my snark says "fun", well sometimes "you're an idiot", but mostly fun. offended will get me notes from the mods. Hopefully they'd say "valid, but you can't say that". EOM

      Robb is the hook up on ale and tractors.

      That would be awesome. I can find Shiner black and irish ale out there, but that's about it.

  8. I think some of the display tanks at aquadome use them, too. But I don't think they are really set up for viewing at build my led. When I called she told me that the website is very true to what you'd see in real life. If your monitor shows colors right.
  9. Wait till you get the doors on it. Then it'd be an even awesomer fort.
  10. Cool. And so it begins. No turning back now.
  11. It happens to me sometimes using Google Chrome on android and I think it also happens using Firefox on windows 7. I just hit back button or view latest unread and it seems to be fine.
  12. Wow, that's amazing about the warranty. External overflows seem so cool. Congrats
  13. Note to self put frozen fish food back in freezer within 18 hours or there's trouble in the household.

      Has the household trouble aired out now?

      Oh yeah. We opened windows and once the odor disappeared the household was happy

  14. i didn't know him, by my condolences to all yall that did. just a thought mitch, there is the nature conservatory and rescue the reef donation on the forums page to donate to. might be appropriate. i'm willing to chip in as well, whoever you decide to donate to.
  15. thanks tim. as i'm raising it, i'll be adding quite a bit of it. i will just keep an eye on my salinity and adjust it as needed.

      i really stink at this status thing.

      If you'll notice I've never changed my status. :-D

      yeah, i should probably do that, too. but i have also changed mine while trying to comment on someone else's. i'm a winner.

  16. Will using Epsom salts for mg dosing affect my salinity? I put it in the refractometer and it was off the chart...literally...no blue.

    1. Timfish

      Timfish

      if you're testing the mixture before adding it to your tank it's going to be really concentrated. You can guestimate a rough ppt reading by figuring epsom salts to water. 1/4 cup epsom to 1 cup water shoud give a Parts Per Thousand, ppt, of something like 250 I'm guessing :-D

  17. My tip, don't tell your wife that.
  18. That's awesome. Long live the fish.
  19. i'm not sure how it would look, exactly. but for the drywall side doors you could use touch latches (push latches? not sure what everyone calls them). maybe put some trim around it to cover the gap. you can make one door for each kid and then they'd have little "framed" art places. keep your refrigerator clean for pizza coupons, take out menus, and those handy gimme magnets that tell you how to convert between teaspoons and cups. this'll be fun. you have some of the best build threads.
  20. My 15g office tank was supposed to simple upgrade from my 10g. Now it may be a several month set up/redesign. I think I have a problem.

      True - ARC is probably not the place to be talked out of a tank.

  21. Stupid iPad won't show a video (first world problems, right?). But whatever Elvis is, congratulations.

      hilariously, this is approaching my record status responses. maybe i should have nothing to say more often.
