Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I used the screwdriver to break the vacuum seal, and the container opened easily! And I learned some interesting considerations from salt mixing as a result of this thread.

I bought a new, large bucket of Salinity salt several months ago, and stored the half-full bucket of another salt above it. Now, it's time to use the Salinity salt. But I can't get the lid open! I follow the instructions, push in the red tab, and try twisting the lid. No luck. Have any of...

That is great! A few years ago, Bob showed our reef club in San Diego lots of amazing slides that he had taken over the years.

That's great!

Wow, Robert, that tank looks amazing! Like the way you mounted the lights--very sleek. Is there a hidden Vortech somewhere near the wall (see the controller)?

Welcome, Yih-Woei. Look forward to seeing your tank's progress.

Roberto, sorry you are dealing with the frustration of non-working MH lights. I have a spare Bluewave ballast that you're welcome to try out, but I live & work pretty far from you. Christina

I missed it; a friend saw it and said it was truly amazing. Thanks for the link, Richard.

Welcome... look forward to seeing photos of your tank as it progresses!

Oh no. So sorry to hear that, Mario. That happened to me when I used to live in S.F. I had to open all the obvious containers (glove compartment, ash tray, center console) to show the stupid thieves there was absolutely nothing of value in the car.

Gusty, you're probably right. The manufacturer also recommends not placing the tank in a location where it is exposed to sunlight, so Current didn't envision our wavy green background.

Thanks Erick. It's good to know I'm not the only one who has trouble getting the algae off the plastic surface. Wish they used a different material.

In our 25 gallon Solana rimless glass tank, the back wall is made of black textured plastic. This looks cool when it is new, but it's really hard to get algae (coralline and green hair) off of the back wall. For anyone who has ever had a Solana tank, what's the best way to clean the back wall...

Mario, sorry to hear the news. Your tanks have been beautiful.

Sergio, the new tank looks great! How long did the plumbing take? Looks clean & well-planned.

Given the earthquake centered here in the east bay last week (on earthquake preparedness day), I'm wondering whether my tanks will survive a big quake. Just discovered this video simulating a 7.2 quake on a 60 gallon tank (at the UCSD engineering lab)...

Yahoo! What a beautiful first fish for your tank. The cleaner shrimp looks healthy also.

Looks great, Boun. Who needs more SPS with such beautiful LPS colonies?

Scott, thanks for coming to pick up the RBTA today. I hope it thrives in your tank.

Sendo, PM sent.
