Silly Jim ... and to think all this time you could have made her happy with a couple amethyst rather than this crazy tank project!!!

Aiiiiiiieeee ... Mario, so sad to hear this ....

Steve, if you're looking for a good saltwater mixing container I'll have a standard brute (thick walled, gray, larger size with lid) available very shortly. I was using it to hold the dry coral for the new build but that has been mostly taken out so I could remove the rest of the pieces if needed.

Steve ... nod off there while pushing the enter button :) !?!

Sooner or later I know I'm going to get flushed out of the underbrush regarding the new system (Jim has had the hounds out recently), but I'm doing something similar to this for my decor. However the panels are 3/4" acrylic cut and beveled to interlock and follow the rear outline of the tank...

Jim, Mona ("Mobert") is the reefer in the south bay who has the tank with all the clowns and btas in it ... there's a thread dedicated to her tank on RC. She used to breed blue eye clarkiis while I was focusing on percs and ocellaris; she got a complete clutch from me when they were quite small...

Speaking of clowns, methinks about 4 or 5 dozen ala Mona would be quite appropriate in there!

Oh Jim, you used the"D" word in an incomplete fashion ... I think you still have the honors! Besides, until the presence of a fish is verified by an independent 3rd party, we all know what Photoshop and some creative cropping can do!

... maybe this thread should be entitled "patrickb's Clam Propogation Tank"! Nice job ... the tank is looking great.

One other thing to keep in mind with the blue velvet approach is that they a essentially incompatible with powerheads or significant current of any type. They will easily get blown around (or sucked into the powerhead) and thus won't be able to remain on the substrate or tank walls where they...

Luiz, welcome and I've seen some of your contributions over at RC. Great to now have you here with us in the Bay Area!

Hey Jim, is that just the fuge that has life??? If so, I think you still have the title until something goes into the inside of the house!

Patrick, great news and that shows that they are very, very happy!!! I do have one spare hatchout tank at the moment, so if you want to try and transfer them over a day or two before hatching, we can give it a go. In all likelihood given past experience it may take a couple attempts, but it...

Jim, now you know why I'm working in silence!!! BTW, to your earlier question, the mockup frame which will hold the false acrylic backing during construction has been built, the cut acrylic lining is back from TAP, and hopefully this weekend I can mount them in the frame and maybe even start...

Gresh, let me know ... if you guys don't want it I think Richard would like it. You're first in line, though.

I still have this in case anyone can use it ... it comes with 3 magic words ... "free, free, free"! :)

Mike, the latest version of the controller that I got came with a clear acrylic tube into which the probe is placed to keep it dry. I then sealed off the top of this tube so that there would not be any water penetration. I prefer the titanium probe as this is in direct contact with the water...

Charlie, you're correct in the setup ... I guess I was thinking as the heaters being the endpoint control and the rancos being secondary in the setup. However, you do want to set the Rancos at the ideal temp and the heaters just a tad higher so that you've got double controls should one or the...

Good news ... sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Gresh, shoot me a PM if you want them ... I've got three used ones but need to keep one for the spare chiller ... I think two of them may be Aquatronic or Aquanetic branded but they are still the Ranco type.
