Whoops didn't say what I did to the outside of the tank... A thin panel would help, air is a great insulator but doing that would be pretty difficult I'd have to imagine. On the outside of the garage tanks I put a layer of insulation like this...

During the winter I put a clear plexiglass cover over the tank instead of just a net. My house heater is at about ~64 and the one heater I have ( 150 or 200) doesn't have enough juice to keep it from dipping. I keep my tank pretty cold to begin with though, 75-76.8 year round. When I had garage...

I agree, two Kessil's are needed for a 36" width. I have two 360WE's over a 40" width. I also felt my numbers were a tad lower than I expected. I forgot about the % for LED's though... and I thought it was only 5%... so if it's 15-20% that is a substantial increase... although still not close...

Edit, my reading comprehension is bad... Sounds like it'll be tons of fun!

While I agree with Mike about the stainless steel screws threading it would probably be the "easiest" solution. Not sure what LED's you are talking about but RapidLED ( http://www.rapidled.com ) (Local in Burlingame and they allow you to pick up items) has a 48"x 1.4" heat sink. They offer...

Welcome!

Hey Geneva, Clam is doing very good, still opening the mantle fully and everything. I still have the bucket but he's now on top of the bucket. I don't know if the sand was bothering him or not, but whatever it is it he seems to be doing fine. The only nassarius snail I had (the attacker) has...

The sand could certainlly be bothering it. I have never been able to get him to stick to a rock, I tried to get him wedged at one point but he was having none of that! Kept squirting water and falling down. He hasn't attached to anything the whole time I've had him, where as the smaller one that...

So I've had two maxima clams now for a bit 4-7 months. One was small 2" while the other was roughly 5". Both had good amounts of growth rings and seemed happy. About two months ago in the morning before the lights came on I found my nas snail inside my small clam. The snail ate most of it and...

Oh I agree Rid Ich+ isn't that great. I was "hopeful" that maybe it killed the ich or injured them enough for them to fall off his body which would allow me to transfer him into a "clean" system where there was no ich to get back on him. I just got Cupramine in yesterday from Marine Depot (along...

Hey Everyone, So I picked up two fish the other week (Coral Beauty & Christmas Wrasse) and have had them in QT since I got them. About a week ago I noticed the angel to start getting Ich, so I treated with Rid Ich+ (was available at the LFS). Directions say keep treating until you haven't...

New impeller certainly solved the problem. Thanks again guys.

Well I bought a new impeller and it will be here tomorrow. I'm hopeful it works... I'll be sure to keep the needle wheel though.

Def would not want it stuck, so yeah probably better that it won't. start.

Not sure how old it is, I bought it off a person on CL, and have been running it for 6 months. It's pretty old I'm sure. I'm in Milpitas, but honestly no worries as I have family in town and can't get anywhere further than a few cities until next weekend anyways... will probably just order one...

The impeller does come out, it's not "that" lumpy though. I can't find any cracks on it, although it is rough.

Hey everyone, So I have an older Euroreef Skimmer and it does what I'd consider a good job... while I do admit my NAC7 on the other tank is nicer, it wasn't nice enough for me to replace this one. Anyways lately the pump has had a hard time starting up... as in there is no water flow. I was...

I would move it inside somewhere, preferably close enough to a vent/window to get fresh air in. Even maybe an air bubbler on the outside of the house with the hose running in? If you do need to move out outside, I have had good luck with this stuff: http://www.homedepot.com/b/Reflectix/N-5yc1vZ19n

Welcome to the club!

Actually went through Marine Depot, although it's listed as "Easy Blade" but I am pretty sure (at least hoping) it's the same thing. Was hoping they'd have it on drfostersandsmith so I could do the $49 free shipping, but alas that didn't happen. I purchased enough stuff to make it worth buying...
