Hey Everyone: I am new to BAReefers, so this is my first and somewhat simple post. I will be moving up to Castro Valley/94546 from San Diego in about two months. What are the best LFS in or around Castro Valley (Hayward, Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, San Lorenzo/Leandro, Union City, Fremont...

On the RPS-1000 there is a plastic support sandwiched and laminated right between the elbow and first union on the valve. If you cut it there is no pipe left to glue a fitting to, so these convertion kits won't work. The only way to switch to a gate valve on this model is to get a double union...

Does anyone know where to get a gate valve replacement for an Octopus RPS-1000? It comes with a ball valve that is a pain to adjust. I have looking for about a week with no success. It has a weird metric thread. I can't use a retrofit kit, without destroying the skimmer, because of the way the...

I got a piece from Lordhelmet over a year ago, but, as described above, it met it's fate prematurely.

Yeah - I was thinking this is not a good idea for my safety, but I couldn't pry myself away from the tank.. oy!

yeah, it was very powerful even in the north bay (tiburon). The leading tip of it got us in a "WTF" state.. cats included, then the big momma rolled in and we started scattering... I went right for the tank.. the water sloshed a lot and I could see the GPS waving heavily in the sloshing...

hey! they're doing great.. they get HUGE when halides kick on.. I'll try and take a pic this weekend.. (again)

Thanks! We drove all the way around the main island of Viti Levu We slept wherever we stopped, didn't make any reservations and simply consulted the guide book or asked the (very friendly) locals where we should stay. Night #1 was Uprising, #2 South Seas Hotel, #3 Volivoli Beach Resort, #4...

Those aren't brown! I have some flash pics later that show how badly my little digicam washes out the color, and some of that diving was pretty deep too, that doesn't help. Also, looking at what has loaded so far the best pics aren't there yet. They best part of each dive was coming up at the...

Thought you guys might like to see them: http://flickr.com/photos/gustygs/ They are currently still loading, but I'm going to work in about an hour so I'll post this now. They are in a set called "Fiji" but sets don't show until it's fully loaded. There are some neat ones up there already...

Northbay (Tom right?), I know you're the asian guy with the wife (was at the April meeting) but I'm not sure if I can pick you out at the meeting. My memory's crap, first to go and all that. Alan

Seeing an actual reef tank back in 89, one of those caulerpa filled setups. Man, that was so cutting edge. I was like 12 and it was the baddest fish tank I ever saw.

Alright, will do. I gotta clean up the place a bit anyhows.
