  1. return pump for 75G recommendations?

    we ended up with a Dolphin 900, since it can be internal or external mount, and fits (the short way) into a 10g tank. Thanks again!
  2. return pump for 75G recommendations?

    Hi all! I've got a 75G w/ integral overflow box w / 2 1.5" PVC bulkheads thru the side of the tank. This is a home-built internal box w/ teeth, and the thru-fittings are near the about halfway to the bottom of the 8" tall box. The question is... about how much will this return flow? And...
  3. My semi-random rant for the month...

    i disagree... there didn't seem to be a whole lot of flaming (just a bit, in the beginning), but there has been some gratuitous theological content which might be more appropriate for the sump.... thing is, the thread is/was *here*, so... anyhow, i found the whole thing interesting, and...
  4. My semi-random rant for the month...

    esmithiii: Pull! (if i'm ever headed that way, we'll put a few up!) Carpentersreef: "the evolution of Reefs.org" Now *that* is why i like this place. it evolves. i've tried some of the other boards, but here seems to be where the majority of the thinking (if sometimes brusque) people...
  5. My semi-random rant for the month...

    Dewman: Well said! As the "outer" of the theological aspects of this debate (they seemed obvious to me), i'll say that i'm pretty firmly in the Non-God camp, at least in the traditional guy-with-a-beard-in-a-robe sense. On the other hand, i'm also one of the most right-wing people i know. i...
  6. My semi-random rant for the month...

    "holy crap!" Somehow, i suspect that this viewpoint (the one esposed by icantTHINKofONE) is centered around that "dominion over all the animals" trite in the bible (depending on which of it's many versions (though all are the "word of god" in a literal sense) you prefer). Personally, i find...
  7. LFS Owners/Manager: Book loan/rental program

    flameangel: Well, people are funny... they often feel that 'free advice' is worth what they paid for it, no matter the source or the value. Besides, the good books (Fenner's Conscientous...) are a lot more fun to read than a help sheet. Of course some of your books never came back, but the...
  8. LFS Owners/Manager: Book loan/rental program

    Whilst reading this excellent thread: http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=16492 flameangel's comment struck a chord with me. Those of us that happen to be 'car guys' as well as 'fish guys' (gals included in both) will probably be familiar with this concept, as many local car-parts stores...
  9. How do I kill or remove Coralline algae?

    you could always add an urchin or two... i have a couple that came in on the LR that make short work of any coralline in my 29
  10. PVC Primer

    i've actually used it to 'paint' the white PVC..... coralline grows a lot faster on dark surfaces, for some reason. i dried it for a few days on top of the furnace, one day after there was no detectable solvent odor. no problems.
  11. low volume - hi press pump for water topoff?

    thanks SPC.. i'll check one out. i like(d) the Rios because the nice small nylon line (the stuff at HD for icemakers) fits very nicely into the outlet of the Rio, all i needed to do was melt the end of the nylon and stick it in. very tight and secure. i'm sure i cold pull it out if i wanted...
  12. low volume - hi press pump for water topoff?

    ^^^ i can't believe noone has any experience with pumps! come one... who's got some hints for me? thanks!
  13. low volume - hi press pump for water topoff?

    So.. i've got my float valve all wired up (super easy, go to http://grainger.com and search on item # 2A554 for the valve. ) It works just great, but i'm not happy with the pump i've got it hooked to. It's a Rio 800 (i know, but it was laying around..) that doesn't seem able to generate...
  14. in-tank urchin reproduction?

    So... This small black urchin, about 1/3" across arrived on some cultured FL LR. Since then, it's grown to about 1.25", in about 4 months. Cruises around the tank (29, about 40# LR, FL and Fiji) eating stuff, leaving 'pretty' white stripes all over the rock. Being one who appreciates...
  15. TWP recharge: dry resin OK?

    So, i've got a bunch of TWP resin (thanks man!), and the necessary chemicals to do the recharge. i've read all the different instructions i've read around the 'net about it, and i think i'm ready (got goggles). One last question.... i've got some (a fraction of the total) resin that's been...
