Maybe with several manufacturers making similar tanks the competition will keep prices down some. Between this tank and the Red Sea I don't know which one to wish for (I probably won't buy either but its fun to wish). :mrgreen:

Happy Birthday, Have a great day and I wish you many more to come.

Do you have plans for this tank already or are you playing as things come?

Looks pretty good, I love the ricordia BTW.

Are you trying to make a surface skimmer?

Ideally you should have a set of basic test kits so you can follow the progress of your new tanks cycle so you know when it has completely cycled and is safe for you to start adding livestock. Without test kits I would wait 30 days and then add things very slowly.

I am glad things have worked out without too much of a headache for you.

That looks like a very interesting program.

I also agree that it is a sponge, I used to have hundreds of the same sponges growing in my overflow.

I have painted tanks both blue and black, the main drawback I found with the blue is that it showed algaes, diatoms, etc. way better than the black. In fact the black kinda hides that kind of stuff growing on the tank.

You mentioned that ammonia was now reading zero, how about nitrites and nitrates? pH, salinity, and temp readings would also help answer your question.

A powerhewad pointed towards the surface enough to create turbulence will help keep the scum broken up. You may aslso be able to add asurface skimmer on the pump for the refugium. Check out surface skimmers designed for some of the hang on protien skimmers like the AquaC or the CPR BakPak.

I am not familiar with this light, could you post some links please.

Pretty neat idea.

Radio Shack sell some small plastic "project boxes" that should be perfect to place on of these in to dress it up and make it safe to prevent electrocution.

As far as I know there is no way to distinguish them apart from looking at them. The LFS I deal with will tell me where something they order comes from, thats the way I tell them apart. I wouldn't say why I was asking though if you don't entirely trust a store because they may tell you...

The peppermints from the caribbean are the ones that eat them, there are also some peppies from some other area that are pretty common in the hobby that don't touch them.

:welcome to the board.

Try this out, here is a link to the kit you need: http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info. ... ucts_id=75

Hopefully that will take care of the problem, especially since you are getting the bulb under warranty. Good luck.
