It's going alright. I'm also subbing in a local marine shop, selling livestock and hard goods. It's going okay. On a different note, anyone ever use Marc Weiss's Phosphate+Silicate Remover? I just put some in the Aquaclear 200 I slapped on the 10 tonight, and it says on the package to not...

Here's my new 10g tank. I had to set it up in my nephew's bedroom, but he's getting a kick out of it already, what with the animals and stuff. Here are some pics: Specs: 10g AGA tank Small Whisper HOB filter (I already had it, so I used it) Approx. 10# LS, 10# LR 28w 10K PC...

BOOYAH! Thought you'd all gotten rid of me, huh??? No way. I've just been mad busy working, so I haven't had all that much of a chance to get online and keep track of this place...fortunately, tho, I'm now finding a bit of time to check in here once in a while. Damn dialup connection...I miss...

What, everyone wonders where DJConn went, but no one is even remotely curious as to how I'M doing? I'm the original bad-idea man here! :P Anyway, as an update, I'm all moved, and settled in. Too bad I'm not online more often, tho. -Flame

Well hell, what WON'T I be doing? It's mainly the upkeep and care of customer's marine tanks. The company does mainly FO tanks with dead coral skeletons, but I have a feeling that I could persuade him to do a few LR/LS/Protein skimmer reef setups, too. I'll be making $10/hour to train, then...

Oh please...I shall carry myself with a quiet dignity in his absence...the only person peeing in tanks shall be me! And who knows...the place could turn into a hotbed of arguments in short time!.....or not. -Flame

Here's a suggestion...you could give me complete and total dictatorshi....I mean, control over the site while you're away, so that there will be no roughhousing and tomfoolery :wink: -Flame

D'OH! Didn't even see the sig that said in plain sight "I own a nano cube." That's what happens when you answer questions early in the morning :wink: -Flame

In approx. 2 weeks, I shall be moving to Cape Cod, so if anybody replies to any of my threads, sends me a PM, etc., I won't be able to reply for a little while. I'll be working down there as a marine caretaker for a company called Seascapes Aquariums. Check out the website...

You say your pump is not working? You mean a powerhead/water moving pump, or a filter? Either way, go out and get a replacement ASAP. In the meantime, place an airstone into the tank and start aerating it; that will keep the water oxygenized, and still provide some water flow. If you're...

Nice little Elegance...I'd stick it down on the sand, tho. It'll do much better down there than on the rock. -Flame

Yes, I plan on doing it as soon as I have the money...MH parts aren't cheap :( -Flame

Sure, the hood and base is nice looking, but....I can't really justify paying THAT much for something you could probably have made yourself for less than $30. I guess that's just the DIY in me. -Flame

How did you set that one up? So that it skims the surface? -Flame

Oh hardy har har.....even though urine does work rather well. Calamine lotion? It's what I've always used, personally....of course, I haven't been susceptible to poison ivy since I was a little kid. I guess if you get attacked by it enough times, you build up an immunity, cause I could...

While that would be useful if you were studying their life cycle, I should think that having that many pods in your tanka t once would be a bad thing, ie, getting sucked up into filters and powerheads and getting chopped into tasty little floating bits. Try using some airline tubing to suck...

Jeezus...I leave for a nice little vacation on Cape Cod for a few days, and my forum gets inundated with beautiful planted tanks... :shock: Oh well. They're beautiful. Hopefully you can help with any questions people are going to ask in this forum in the future :D -Flame

No, the light is about 20" wide, and the tank is about 16" wide or so, so there's only about a 2" margin on either side, and since the bulb itself isn't 20" long, it works out rather well. Right now, I'm in the process of moving, so nothing new has been added to the tank, nor do I plan on...

You know folks, feel free to post some criticism...should I keep doing this, as in translating TFH articles that I find to be useful? -Flame

I figured this might be a good thing to have in the forums, in case someone needed info on LR...and if we get a beginner's forum in the future, it can always be moved to there. It's an article written by James Fatherree for the October 2003 issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist, which defines and...
