It's been a LOOOONG time since I've visited this site. This weekend I'm tearing down my tank, selling off 1/2 the live rock and cherry picking the best to put into a 20gal tank. I'm finally going nano. ha! My stand will be converted to an entertainment center. This is all happening...

I'll have to look into it. Can't be that hard, right? Famous last words!

The newly designed mini-g has the pump below the tower...which makes the unit too tall for my sump. So....I'm going to need another option or find an older model mini-g. This sucks!

It's going on my 50gallon tank. I have a nice stand, but I had drawers built into it so I've got a really restricted height in the sump, which is why I was looking at the ASM mini. However, the new mini's have the pump under the tower, instead of on the side so the new mini's won't fit. So...

Anyone use this and have good things to say? I'm currently looking to upgrade from a CPR BakPak II.

I have 2 kegs on tap, just floated 2 and I sort of have to brew up to make it through the summer. I also just bought 4 3 gallon kegs, so w/ a 5 gallon batch I'll fill 2 of 'em and then I'll be able to have a 3rd beer on! I'm always bringing it to parties in growlers and what not to get rid...

I brew beer, I just upgraded to a 2 tapper kegerator and I have 7 5gal kegs so it's a very tasty hobby! I need to get my 3rd tap operational but I'm debating on upgrading some fish hardware first. I also used to mtn bike but I blew a disk and I also used to train in Aikido 6 days a week, but...

You're using Scripps water? Isn't that a bit of a drive? There is a posting up on sdreefs as far as what the local water is lacking, but I'm sure you read up on that and made the proper adjustments. I personally mix my own, but I have used scripps water before. Most the guys out here do.

Yeah, I'm Phischy on sdreefs as well. I trade and what not via that site so I usually check it a lot more than this website. It's hard to beat local and that site does a lot of trading/selling @ discount etc... I'm doing some major overhauling of my pumps etc this weekend and cleaning the...

Congrats! I dare say brewin' beer and keepin' fish is a good combo....

I know I'm a mod, but it's a been a LONG time since I've really posted to this site. DJ Conn and I go way back. Anywho, my tank is still around and after letting it go and doing bare min maintence, this weekend I'm going to do my fish/corals a HUGE favor and clean my pumps/lines and get around...

I still win though...I'm the tank ninja!

This stuff is a weed, it's in my tanks and I wish I had never introduced it. I'd keep it isolated away from zoa's or other small LPS, it walks alot and is a real pain to exterminate.

I"ve had power outages as well and I haven't lost anything, including frogspawn. I have a battery powered bubbler to keep the water oxyginated, but other than that, it's just cross your fingers. If I"m home when it happens every 1/2 hour or so I'll take a cup, fill it with tank water, hold...

Yup in SD we can go grab SCRIPPS salt water for free: http://www.sdreefs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11201 This is a sticked workup thread on how to get it what to do etc... YOu need to let it age for 24hrs to 48hrs to allow for dieoff. You should not use the water after a rain to avoid...
