  1. Well it looks like I made it to 20 years in the hobby but tomorrow it ends. It's been a ride.

      Sad to hear. Hopefully you'll get back into it down the line somewhere.

  2. 16 years in and thinking about getting out

      Don't do it! I have been in and out of the hobby, and it would have been easier just to stay in.

      I agree with James. Plus we would really hate to see you go.

  3. You need to match the bulb wattage to the ballast
  4. I am out in San Diego area and had a chance to see Aqua SD. Great looking live stock. I will have to order some things soon.
  5. i have a full one that I bought from Chad and Belinda a while back. It is not the prettiest thing but works.
  6. I am going to build one in on my next house. I say go with as big a room as you can. Let me know if you want any help or info on the building process. I am a home builder and have a very good architect that I have worked very close with for several years.
  7. Thanks for all the help. My tank is still sitting with the pipe clamp on it and I am still deciding the best way to take care this. I think I just need to remove about half of my water and clean and replace. After I get the brace back in I can put most of the water back in and get my closed loop running for circulation.
  8. I put a clamp on the tank for the night. I will get some silicone in the morning and see if I can lower the water level enough to glue it back tomorrow. The problem is leaving the water level down for 24hrs for the silicone to cure.
  9. I was cooking dinner and my wife tells me there is something wrong with the tank. The center brace fell into the tank. It really only hurt my pink echinata. I can see small bow to the front piece of glass. I am scared of the sides coming apart. The tank is oceanic and is made of 5/8"glass. Any thoughts on how to repair this with out completely draining the tank?
  10. I run my actinic 12hrs, mh 9hrs, moon lights opposite of the actinic and my fuge runs for 16hrs, all night and part of the morning
  11. I am going out there in a few months and will have to go by the store. Everything looks great.
  12. Looks like it could be cyanobacteria, but it seems like a strange location for it. Are there any other places that it is located? and don't worry about asking questions everyone here need info sometimes.
  13. If the water smells that bad do a water change, 50% or so. That seems real fast for it to smell. Where did the rock come from?
  14. A nine volt battery will turn the fans if they are good. Just touch each wire to a terminal on the battery. You might have to clip the wires, but you would prbably have to do that to replace the transformer anyway.
  15. I have mine out of the sump. I have only had it running for a few weeks so don't have any pros or cons yet. I feed mine with an aqualifter. I wanted to use a maxijet 1200 but the feed line was 1/4"
  16. The curent science has been edited. The base line numbers for the US originally had 4500 weather stations being read. There are only 1500 being used to show global warming. A majority of those omited were in colder regions of the US. Russia, Austrailia, japan and others have reported the same discrepancies it the current data. NASA came out last year and filed a report that stated the recent warming trend was due to sun spot activity that has ceased. The original scientist that came up with the global warming theory died before he could retract the theory as not based of facts but just a paid for paper written as only one posibility. His retraction was found on his computer after his death. Science should look at all the facts not use only the ones that keep their funding. Do we need to conserve and preserve our enviroment? Yes. Do we need to destroy our way of life to make the politically conected rich? No. All of the Co2 and global warming "science" is tied together. Z, this is where I was coming from and what I based my statements. Nothing ment to be personal.
  17. It was probably just looking for some sun block, afraid of scale cancer.
  18. How much money have I spent on this hobby in 15 years?

  19. Take the rocks out of the tank and scrub them with a tooth brush, rinse the rocks off and the return to the tank. I wouldn't try to clean the rocks in your tank they will just spread.
  20. As long as it has enough food that it doesn't have to work for it shouldn't bother anything else.
  21. Just give it a few days. If they were paired they should find each other.
  22. True and clear will get algae growth so you might want something like spa tubing that is white fairly stiff but some what flexable and you can glue it like PVC
