Nice pics. What kind of camera is it?

How big is the footprint? There isn't just a whole lot of room in my sump. The page I am seeing says it is 15 inches by 11 inches. Is that about right?

Coralife makes two timers that work very well as long as you don't get any water on them. They are available at most any pet store, even Petco or Petsmart.

I can come get it out? Are you selling it? How much?

I am stumped. Which skimmer do you think will do the best job? Is one easier to mod than another?

Still got the skimmer?

the rs 80 is sold?

I have a 72 gallon bowfront using t5's. My chiller is is $10 clip-on fan from Walmart. My evaporation during the summer is about 2 gallons/day. Right now it is less than 1/2 gallon/day. During the summer, my tank runs 78 to about 81 F.

I don't know why you think Taylor is so far away from everything and everybody. It is only 7 miles from me. We shop at the HEB there all the time. Happy Holidays!

I had a spiny box puffer that ate all my crabs and snails. I failed to do the research.

How many gallons is the RedSea skimmer rated for?

Mine perked up after I started adding Kalkwasswer and Aragonite to my top off water reservois (not together).

Has anyone seen the videos of the giant jellyfish they are seeing off the coast of Japan? Try this one. [/url]

From Mama's post, I'd guess the Blue Velvet is out for me. I have some flatworms and my 6-line wrasse is co-existing with them peacefully. I don't seem to have a lot of them but they do seem to be multiplying a bit. Do these things cause problems? If so, what kind?

Finally a contest I can win!

Is there anything left?

what size pump did it have on it?

Gallery still does saltwater, kinda pricey though. I think Kathy is one of the best information sources around. Partners is still there as well but they seem to be consolidating or reducing their SW tanks. I really don't like pet stores that sell puppies.

Milleme, what is the width of that sump?

Two issues I think need to be addressed: 1) There needs to be a way for sick people to get help other than an emergency room. Emergency rooms are for people that are dying or severely injured, not for people with the flu. However a lot of people show up there cause they no other access to medical care. This passes the costs onto the hospital and indirectly to everybody. 2) If students take government funds for medical school, then after completion, they should have to spend X number of years in government service. There are a lot of areas, particularly out west where doctors are hundreds of miles apart. Putting in government clinics staffed by doctors and nurses working off their student loans would alleviate a lot of this problem. Also, I am not sure the government should be paying for dermatologists and other specialty areas.

No problem.

Hamp, if by "carboy" you mean a 5 gallon glass water bottle, I have a couple I can let go for $20 each. They are dusty from sitting in the garage but a little bleach water will clean them up just fine. I used them for home brewing, which I don't really do anymore. Let me know.

I really think this is not an appropriate forum for this discussion. It belongs on talk radio.

Just as an aside, the US is by definition a republic. The voters select representatives who run the government for them. However, this is not strictly true. In actuality, the US is an oligarchy. We are ruled by the rich. At last count, 237 members of Congress and 100 members of the Senate are at the least millionaires. Some of them are much more wealthy than that. What does it say when the mayor of New York City spends 100 million dollars of HIS own money in his finance campaign? The Austin mayor and council members regularly spend in excess of 2 million dollars EACH to gain a seat in the Austin City Council. Our political system is flawed and skewed heavily in favor of the wealthy, but it is still the best thing going out there. With the checks and balances built into the our government, nothing is EVER permanent, except taxes. Wait a while, everything will change.

From aquahub, I bought a switching unit so that if the water gets too high in my sump, it cuts off the pump. Look at aquahub.com.
