Does it have to absolutely be submersible? The cool thing about using a pump like an AquaLifter is that it pumps slowly. I just added Kalk into my ATO yesterday, and I didn't have to change anything about the setup. The AquaLifter pumps slow enough that I don't spike the tank when my ATO kicks...

I agree. My Aqualifter struggled to lift the water. It would pump about 2' up, and 2' over, and after about three days of that you can tell the diaphragm was getting beat because the flow slowed to a drip or two per second. My ATO needed to be active for over 30 minutes to top off 150ml or...

Hey Roberto!! Of course I'm interested! Are you going to mount a couple polyps to a plug?

Agreed. Also agreed.

Welcome!

Glad everything's working out after the heater deal. Onward and upward from here! Post more pics!

Yeah, kinda like the dogs that stick their heads in between stuff and can't get them out. My clown squeezed through the overflow grates and spent the night sleeping on a layer of filter floss with overflow crashing over him.

Funny thing, I was just reading @tygunn's thread! :) --- I take a peek at my tank before I leave for work every morning and noticed one of my clowns was missing! He never hides, so I knew this was unusual. Looked high and low, and finally found that he squeezed through the overflow grates...

I has Turbo and Trochus.

Try a fire shrimp. Mine eats from my hands, and usually stays in his cave. Occasionally, a crab or snail will take up temp residence in fire shrimp lair, in which case shrimps will be out and about, but he'll only stay on his rock, his side of the tank. Thankfully for me, I don't have any...

Welcome!

Roberto! It was so great meeting you and checking out your tank. Lots of personality and life..very nice setup you have! The Ricordea is very nice too..thanks so much! Due to it having sand attached to it's foot, I was able to successfully glue him onto a piece of rubble. He was so...

That is a lot of balls to take on all that nasty as a noob! Your setup looks really clean now! I can't wait to see it packed with color!

Need an electrician to help wire up some power in the garage? Lmk if you need it! Union City. ;)

My garage (dry walled, insulated) is on the bottom floor of a 3 story town home building, and I don't think the sun touches it no matter what time of day or season. Temp in the garage is about 80-85 degrees all year. Hope that helps. If I wanted a tank down there, I'd need a chiller.

I would imagine this is exactly what would happen. I performed the electrical work on an AT&T store years ago. We received shipment of lights from Grainger one morning. At lunchtime, a totally different truck came and made the exact same delivery. LOL! Grainger told me to keep the extras.

It's worth it to note that I've never read of 50w or 100w NeoTherms exploding. You'll be just fine with those. Glad they're helping you out. Keep them, and use the second one as a backup. Once you convince your lady on a controller purchase, hook them both up, and set one heater to have it's...

LOL! Looks like you need a tank upgrade. That, or buy an industrial sized RO unit to go with those and sell water. I dunno... ;) Also to go along with the above comment, you'll need guns, bullets, German Shepherd's and sandbags because if the end of the world ever comes, your whole...

Never seen that..hmmm. Looks cool! Free bump! As long as it's not one of those troublesome camel back ones.

Yes, it should be easier to talk her into it now! There's a silver lining for ya! ;-) The Apex wouldn't have prevented your heater from exploding though...well actually, although indirectly, maybe the heater was on, but not "heating". Circuits were frying on the inside of the heater but the...
