DAMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it falls through I am all over it.

Interested in the tank package. I will call tomorrow.

This site is pretty good at figuring things like that out. http://home.comcast.net/~jdieck1/chemcalc.html

Pretty slick! I bet you could sell a kalk reactor or two . . .

You just need to add water and it works the same. I found that adding all of the baking soda I need to the top off keeps my Alk pretty stable. Every time the auto top off kicks on, the tank is being dosed for alk. Way eaiser for me then remembering to dose the bottle stuff everyday. I don't have a reactor or kalk dripper either, but this way is still pretty easy. Be prepared to start adding calcium though as the increased alk seems to speed up the need for calcium and magnesium IME. HTH

I have to use a heater on my tanks, even to keep the tank at 65F, I need a heater much of the year. I like my house on the cool side, I also like fresh air, if it's snowing my window is still open. To ward off disasters with heaters getting stuck on instead of using one heater to heat the tank, I use two small ones. It would take quite a bit longer for the small heater to cook my tank like that, if it is even possible, and hopefully by that point I would have noticed. I have never had a heater get stuck on, I have been shocked by one once, but I have had the same ebo jaeger for 8+ years now. JME

I have extra pumps. Let me know if you need to borrow one for awhile. They are my back ups so no worries if you need one for awhile (I have a couple ) LMK

My deal is that I already have three pieces just like that. I was kinda curious to see what it would go for so I could price mine accordingly. Maybe it is just a more popular piece.

Only question is when can I pick up the pH controller?

On the reef tank the heater is set at 76F, on my planted tank it is set at 68F. Things are doing well.

If your not going to use it for something else a back up drain could be cool. You could even use it to run a redirculating skimmer, or phosphate reactor. One of my homies has his lower so he can use it as an easy water change hose, just cap the end with a ball valve, no need to start a syphon. If you put a good strainer on the main drain there is little chance of it getting clogged, although I did have a drain get clogged with bubble algae . . . glad I had a back up JMO

What are you looking for in trade, and what kind of pump would one need to invest in to get it going? Thanks

This might be of interest to you. http://liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=420+1805

PVC primer works really well IME. It is purple, but will blend in with the rock and coraline better IME.

I think it is dope, what is it for?

His wife told him he had to try and sell the tank. Now he can tell her no one is interested.

Come with a stand?

I have a nice piece or 3 I would trade for a frag.

I'll take you up on that, if I can't care for the little dude. I have been having flatworm issues for about a year. They get crazy I use flat worm exit, wait two week use it again. Wait a few months. I decided to break the cycle. I let the tank go flat worm crazy for 4 months now, and I have a million of them. I just adjusted teh flow to blow them off the front surface of the aquarium. It's cool to watch the guy mow through them. But if you look at a rock he was on 3 minutes ago, it is already recovering with the flatworms. I have read they are voracious eaters. If I run out of the worms we'll pass homie around.

The hot pink ones with good care turn into nice rose colored ones. It's not to hard to care for them so far IME.

The rain just cleared my evening up! I can come! Woo Hooo! Sorry a little excited. So frags, anyone want to swap some stuff. I can bring a few different zoa's, some tyree long polyp green leather frags, an acan frag with a few heads on it. I could break off a piece of candy cane coral (not the super green the other one), a head or two frogspawn. I have these mushrooms that have been in my sump for like a year, I just stopped liking them. I always have the macro algae, red grape, halmedia, ochotodes, halymenia, short codium, sargassum. The macro algae has been in a system with flatworms, but I have some flat worm exit so I could put a few drops in the bag. Any takers?

Thanks for the tip Randy. I called Travis and he set it aside for me, picked him up today. Also had to pick up a leopard wrasse and a crazy zoo colony. The nudi is definitely fun to watch. If it keeps being this entertaining I might just have to start a nudist colony. I've been looking to do something different. . .

Isn't that list fairly old, and from a post on RC where many people disagreed with him and pointed out things that were wrong? I hope the list is not new, as he would have not made any of the updates. IMO the list is to black and white. I do agree with much of it, but find the term expert is also being used to loosely. Peter is a good guy and does mean well and help a lot of people. I don't mean to say anything bad about him. JMO

Doh! I almost went there on Saturday. I'll call over tomorrow.

Thread title sums it up. Looking for a Blue Velvet Nudibranch (Chelidonura varians). I am aware of there care requirements and believe I can meet them. I have been looking locally for some time, I have not seen them. If you see one around town, or if you can get one for me, please let me know. Thanks, Kevin
