  1. it actually works too well, you trap the guys you dont want first. It has a fishing line string to the door so you can open or close it without sticking your hands in the tank. Let me know if you want to try it, its just sitting my the garage on the shelf.

  2. Howdy, we're going to take our first Snow trip to Albuquerque, NM. I wanted advice on the route to take to get there. Google maps shows two routes, one is up 35 to OK, then west via i40 to Alb.

    OR, i10 west thru Fort Stockton, El Paso and up i25 thru NM. We're driving, so I wanted to see if anyone has done this and which route would be best.

  3. I havnt had algea problems, but I was recently given 5 gallons of salt water that was purhcased at one of the local stores that everyone goes to. Monday, this 5 gallons was part of the 15 gallons I used for a water change. Now I have this algea. The person that gave me the water also had this algea problem, but couldnt figure out where the algea was coming from. He would do more water changes to try to resolve the issue and unknowingly was adding more of the problem water. What kind of algea is it and how do I get rid of it? I have a Naso tang, Powder blue and coral beauty, none of them seem interested. I threw in 4 Turbos to see if they would like a snack. I'll stick to my ro/di water from now on. What is wrong with the stores water, what caused it, bad filters?

  4. running the hoses is the Dave Petit method smile.gif , ping him and he will enlighten you. I think he finally put together an ATO system, but hoses was what he used for a while. I carry (3) 5 gallon jugs to the curb and (3) more to the tank to add back in every two weeksdoh.gif.

  5. plan out (physically) how you will actually do your water changes. Lugging 5 gallon jugs gets old, (~8lbs each gallon) and carrying 2 at a time is really heavy. Plan the whole thing out as well as you can, then get others to review your plans. Money is tight these days, but I have learned not to skimp on lighting and flow. That said, it doesnt mean you should blow your wallet either.

  6. will he play nice with a Sepent Star? if so, I'd like to have him, I can be there about 7pm-ish, I'll send you a PM with my number, just call me if someone else can come get it before me to save me a trip. I live in Gtown.
