Mike, Nice work. Was this the standard Tru Vu design? I've always wondered how much light all the acrylic takes away. Also, does your tank have one continuous piece for the vertical front and sides? Did you measure the deflection before and after? My 40 is 36"x15"16", so you think I could...

if you can do 10% weekly, it will do wonders in exporting nutrients and also keep your system nice and even. Cheers, Josh

how old is the tank and what is your water change schedule?

Well shoot, lets go nail some surf perch some day! All you need is a 6wt and orange crab flies :) You are right, DIY in reefing doesn't always mean saving money, I usually break even on the tools and supplies when all is done. But my point was DIY extends the hobby, rather than dropping $40...

haha, you know you're in Silicon Valley if:

haha, total geekfest. The memory stored in DRAM will be dependent on the reference HD, if the original HD is not present you can't cold boot. When you power down your laptop to remove the HD (before which you should remove the battery to protect the comp) the electro-decay in the DRAM will...

I agree, there is no stored memory in the RAM, other than the BIOS on the MB, flahisg that is risky, because if its incomplete or corrupted it could be impossible to rebuild the BIOs and you end up with a POSPW.

If I run my tank at 85-90* during the cycling will it help speed up the process? I remember reading that warmer tanks for QT speed up parasite life cycles, figured it would do the same for the probiotics too? Cheers, Josh

sake bombs, sushi, ice cream, then whiskey sours bad night

do you get car sick easy? Like Mike said, if one eye is stronger or you have a left/right dominance issue your focal point will constantly bounce back and forth, causing headaches and nausea. I actually have a left/right dominance issue, so I have to make sure to train my vision straight...

I don't think that is necessarily true, I'm an avid fly fisherman and worked in a fly shop out east after the .com crash and 9/11 economic slump, fly fishing as a hobby parallels reef keeping, when people have extra money retail thrives, when it doesn't shops close down, the classic problem with...

I'm looking for good quality dry rock to cure myself, do you guys have any? Cheers, Josh EDIT: Thanks Phong!

you could scrub the shell quick with a toothbrush (clean!)

no, I love that pic, everything blurred around it, with a gorgeous male in focus! Awesome! There is a cool photo like that at the Monterey Aquarium, a big bait ball of sardines all blurry, with a few in focus in the middle, kind of a predator eye view. you shoot a D60?

you know what would be a cool idea and it looks like they have the facility to do it, DIY workshops! How much fun would that be?!?! Once a month you could have a night for modding maxijets, customs tanks, stands, reactors, frag racks, etc etc! If you could get it past insurance issue I bet...

looks like I'm going to have to visit my brother in Mt. View soon :) That is some amazing, healthy looking livestock, haven't seen a flasher wrasse with coloration like that in a long while, the onyx clown is also niiiiiiiice. what is he lighting his displays with? Cheers, Josh

TAP had fiberglass rods too, think it was around $6 for 6ft. Do you guys lightly "tack" with epoxy or is 5/8 hole with 1/2" rod snug enough that they stay put? Cheers, Josh

Back to the hardware store! Thanks! Josh

So I planning to do my aquascaping by drilling holes and using 1/2 acrylic rod, both for the base support and connections. Can I just use a standard 1/2 drill bit or will the LR dull it quickly? If I remember right they make a hard bit for concrete, but they are pretty pricey. Any pointers...

I just need a simple strip light for the refuge and it needs to be less than 24", the Nova are the only T5 I've found in the sub 24" range, all the Tek stuff seems to be primary lighting. I was thinking 9 watt (18") Freshwater 6700k SlimPaq to grow chaeto
