  1. SD arrives!

    It was HighRPM's Q that I did not understand! As for how hard it was, marginal....Being at the right place at the right time, and the right person. In this case it was the Lawn and Garden mngr. HD has a set protocal for using certain vendors, it starts with a SKU # being activated in their...

  6. Diving in Aruba?!

    Most hotels and resorts offer a cert. that will get you in the water. It will not enable you to rent equip., But this may be a good start. If you can find the time get your PADI or NAUI card. I would check the websites for class info....Do all you class work and pool work this winter then Do...
  7. Replacing VHO's?

    Trust me on this change your bulbs! If you want to grow a hair algae farm don't change! Once the color spectrum changes(as in older bulbs) it promotes the growth of problem algae. You might look at the archives on this subject. I'm sure there is plenty on poor light and the growth of algae. Rhodes
  8. All VHO users must read this

    The follow-up article to 1999 appears in a 2001 FAMA. I can’t remember what issue......But he continues to have excellent growth. I currently pay right at 100/year for 4 URI bulbs. I could change every 90 days and still spend 20 bucks less a year… Rhodes
  9. wrapped tank in blanket

    Tyson, Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I read something about someone “wrapping their tank for 72 hrs” The scenario that I seem to get is in the late mornings after my lights have been off overnight the tank is full of dying dinos. Which is a good thing! My concern is with the dying of...

  11. Mint Green "SOMETHING" ???/??

Well, this morning I decided to do a "night dive" I grabbed the MagLite and tooka look see....I found two crabs eating a mint green worm looking thing. So does anybody have a clue. My dig cam was not handy and I had...

  13. Lights off 24/7?

    I have decided to leave my lights off on my tank.I have followed all other algae control protocals and I still have problems. I still continue to fight(wet foam)my AquaC even with the pump change(sen900.)I noticed that all the small pieces of LR in my sump no longer have hair algae. In turning...
  14. Wet Foam

    I added a SEN900 to my AquaC at the beginning of the week. I continue to get very wet foam. I added a ball valve to throttle back the pump, but I have yet to find the” sweet spot" Does it make a difference on the size of ball valve? I could not buy a ¾ valve at Home Depot, so I bought the 1 inch...
  15. LR DYING? Take 2

    Can LR die? I mean of course it can but how hard is it to kill. My tank has had this hair and Dino problem for so long is it possible to "choke" the life out of the LR? Thanks Tate
