Thanks, Tony. I ordered one!

Okay here's a photo of the tank: Most of the corals are doing pretty well (and they're mostly from BAR. Thanks guys!) but the few acros I had took a beating when I let water parameters get too far out of range during the closet rebuild. Lighting is a 250W Radium, T5 actinics, and a...

Oh yeah, good point. I had thought of doing that, but then kind of forgot. Any suggestions for how to strap it?

John, I didn't finish or trim the hole in any way. Since it's comes out under the sump I didn't worry about it. You could put a flange on it to cover the drywall edge: http://www.trimbydesign.com/categorydisplay.asp?CatName=Traps

Nice. I'm looking at switching to an Illuminata soon too.

Thanks everyone. Mike, I don't have a before picture unfortunately. I ripped into it before I thought about doing that.

Mmm. Fruity pebbles and potato chips: Breakfast of Champions!

Oh, what it plumbs to? Not nearly so pretty. ;-) Regardless, I'll try to take a photo soon and post for posterity. John, going through this wall was tough. It's 8" thick solid masonry. I drilled it with a rotary hammer then just ran the pipe though. After the pipe goes through the wall, it...

Oh, PS. The shelves are wire shelving, cut with an angle grinder to fit. So far they work great but I'd probably have done stainless steel if I didn't have these lying around already.

I have a coat closet right behind my aquarium, which is awesome because I can put all sorts of gear in there. Up until recently, however, it's been an disaster waiting to happen. I had a rusty DJ power strip clamped to an old board, with a tank right above it. Lighting was with a crappy...

Possibly corn flakes would be more accurate. Wouldn't spectrum pellets be something like Kix? Or maybe meatballs? (not a cereal, I realize)

I was just sitting here enjoying a nice bowl of fruity pebbles, when it dawned on me: this is flake food for humans. Your thoughts?

I changed this thread to a forum topic.

I really hate the themed tanks on Tanked. They're so kitschy and ugly! I can't say I care much for the brightly colored fake coral either, but at least it's somewhat better. On FTK I do appreciate the fish guy's dedication, but I have to admit that when he's in an uproar about the fake...

I changed it back into a forum topic. Did that fix it for everyone?

I don't think anything changed with those permissions, so it's probably always been like that. Maybe we should consider changing it, though!

Is it possible that the MPT adapter doesn't have tapered threads? Does it bottom out rather than getting tighter as it goes in?

Welcome! I'm a diver too. I just got back from a trip to Fiji where we did a bunch of diving. Anyway, what sort of engineering do you do?

Thanks for the advice, guys!

I had another heater bite the dust. What do you guys like these days for heaters. Any that have a particularly good reliability record?
