yeah, maybe it wouldn't hurt to try to do a full water change in the sump and try to get everything cleaned up? dunno if there is any issues with pods, etc. or if you even worry about that. i normally pretty much drain entirely and refill my sump each time i do a water change (comes out to...

yeah mike, i hear you about tank being on autopilot lately.. and interestingly enough my false percs decided to start spawning too, so i am getting egg clutches every two weeks. no fry to be seen though, but figure they are all tank food anyway. wierd, as my discus pair who also lay eggs...

yeah, makes sense eileen. once you get that 'debris' stuff out most pumps shouldn't have much of a problem with the regular denitrus build-up (unless you continually have debris 'created' in your sump). the 'gravel vacs' should work fine too, except they use gravity siphoning normally, and...

i think i read a thread on rc where this same question was asked and a bunch of people responded that they regularly wet/dry vac'ed their sumps monthly (or even weekly!). like mike, i've also used wet/dry for mishap cleanup before, though not for regular cleanings, though that seems fine to me...

I'm sorry Gresham and kinetic, that did come across too strong. I guess I was just so disappointed that, after all the work we did to bring a conference out West, that it fell flat. For example, We found that the hotel was offering rooms to the general public for about half what they were...

Well bookfish, you can go to Chicago. Just read the next post about a deal on IMAC. I think this thread is dead. Dennis

Hey, you guys are missing out on a fantastic deal at IMAC. Maybe you didn’t know that members of reef clubs could get full registrations at the International Marine Aquarium Conference for a lot less than the general public. Until the end of July it was only $80. Now, until the end of...

we do have a family membership for good reason :). See you at the next one !!! :D

Have fun everyone. We are going to have to sit this one out (most of you know why :)). We'll have to catch you on the next go 'round (too bad too as we have some corals that need trimming :().

I've got some Ricordia, both Yuma and Florida that I'll bring. I'll also have some blue Cespitularia. All of my SPS is still too small to frag aside from digitata. I wish that Setosa I got from Norm (thanks again Norm) would hurry up and get growing! -K

Thanks.. I'm just sort of getting out of the frantic mode and back into "normal life".. whatever that means. ;-) I'm hell bent on getting my tank looking better also.. I so didn't plan the flow right.. for the amount of LR I have. I am thinking about picking up one more pump.. a tunze...

I am still around and kicking.. although I wasn't the most active participant when I did come here fairly often about a year ago or so... but I am still in the hobby and want to devote more time to it now that my wedding and reception and other huge consuming "things" are now in the rearview...

I'm interested in the hydno. Pick up at the next meeting should work for me.

Hi GreshamH; I'm sorry if my tone did not sound like a good marketing tool; it may have been desperation, or perhaps disappointment. For years West Coast hobbyists have been bugging us to have an IMAC closer to them, and when we do nobody comes. In the last few months IMAC Las Vegas was a...

Hi All; When I made my post about IMAC Las Vegas possibly being cancelled it was intended to get some of you off the fence and register so we would be able to have the conference. Apparently, it had the opposite effect. Oh, some of you signed up quickly. But most of you did not. I received...

Hi Everybody; I’m sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings but it appears that IMAC Las Vegas will be cancelled. There have been so few sign ups that it will not be fair to the vendors, the hotel or us. It is very disappointing to us since we thought Las Vegas would be a very popular...

Well; IMAC Chicago is over and it was a huge success. All the booths were sold out months ahead of time and everyone seemed to have a great time. Now it is time to really get working on IMAC Las Vegas on August 10, 11 and 12. You West Coast people have not had a major aquarium conference out...

Hey Kinetic, I'll take a piece. Do you still want some purple rim cap? I lost your number dude.

ghetto!.. i like! :D

the cs 6-1 (equivalent to ER's RS100 model, except for potentially older sp2 pump) should be fine for a 60-90 gallon tank in terms of size and ER are known for good skimmers.. though people seem to like to 'overskim' and get much larger capacity skimmers for their tanks. this will most likely...
