  1. So I saw the deadline of the 31st, what are you wanting to see as far as the final photo? 1. Are you wanting a picture with all the polyps closed so you can count. 2. Opened and people stating the count.... 3. What constitutes a "polyp", I am assuming something that is able to show color and not just the nub. Just curious-Thanks
  2. I'm would assume you have "googled" for ideas, here are a few that the titles seemed to imply they are associated. Sorry I dont have time to read the info-if I was having that problem I would make the time, but........... http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-03/rhf/index.php http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f53/high-ph-76061.html http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/june2002/chem.htm http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/marine-tank-problems/2136-ph-too-high-what-might-cause.html Good luck
  3. Thanks, now I have lots to look at. I went sort of crazy here lately adding to my collection, but when a frag is only 1/4" to 3/4" its not much to post a pic of-(laugh) All in time!
  4. Not sure if I have posted this link up, and I don't know how many chalice fans there are here locally, but for you fellow junkies of the chalice, this is a must see. Nice representation from Jody/Keith (TEC) and Perry (OIAB) nice stuff guys!! I'm not responsible for overdrawn bank accounts, out of control credit card purchases or the likes. I am going to start a thread for those who have chalices that want to trade/swap/sell etc. Mine are not ready to frag but I have some real winners-IMO presently 237 pages of eye candy-(drooler) ENJOY the show!! http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/f44/chalice-show-off-thread-8978.html

  6. I believe that was a quote from the Exorcist- Maybe see if Tap plastics would do it-and accept the liability if they crack it-.
  7. Agree on the "need to recalibrate" none of the meters, probes I have got were pre calibrated. Make sure when you get the calibration solution to let the probe sit in the solution for at least 10-15 minutes before making adjustments-I have calibrated right after putting the probe in the solution to find it was not as accurate as the ones where I have let them sit for a awhile, 5 minutes at least-IMO. You may want to follow Clays thread, it seems he is having PH issues. Good Luck
  8. A lot has to do with the brand, so I have been told-I have heard that some off brands (like what I use) loose there intensity after about 3-4 months. I have been watching that with a par meter-so far 3 months old and they have only lost about 10% of the intensityor its PAR value. The 12 month rule is general-IMO Editted; I read those articles after posting this-Now having read the second, I am not surprised at what I have found in my bulbs-Great read and positive information for me-Thanks!
  9. WOW that was alot of reading-flickr or what ever it was-no offense -dont get angry quick summary for photobucket; Click button that says upload, next window click "save" brings you back to the 1st window, hold mouse pointer over image that drops down 4 choices, right click "copy" on the one that says "IMG" paste into thread done for pics of this size;
  10. Nice equipment combos there guys, had I known what I do now, things would be different but for now I havea ; 20 gallon sump but it houses; Pentair Quiet One 6000 1500 GPH return pump HSA-250 skimmer ran w/ mag 9 pump Coralife turbo twist 9 watt UV sterizer that is ran by a MJ1200 that also feeds the 2 little fishes Phosban reactor and my calcium reactor (forget the name/model) Sump also contains 400 GPH pump to feed chiller thats located in the garage. The wife loved it when I drilled 3 holes through the wall-1 for the auto top off feed, 2 for the chiller in/out-go DYI! Marine Pinpoint PH controller to run my Calcium reactor-keeps me dialed in-set it and forget it Marine pinpoint PH monitor RO/DI(located on other side of wash basin) with booster pump (I have NO water pressure) in laundry room with Dual inline TDS meter-goes through the attic into the garage 35 feet so the booster is really needed!; 35 Gallon resivour to hold RO/DI water for water changes and also gravity fed into sump that houses a float valve to keep sump at constant level and maintains SG to 1.025; 1/10 HP Chiller by Current keeps everything at 77 degrees; I think that's it. For my 1st real tank I like it, next build I do I will have subtle changes
  11. LOL at the "Green" diver down flag (top left) once you click the link- Dude you got busy w/the posts-hats off to ya!!
  12. Nice looking set up Bob- And that nano next to it looks awesome-I always wanted a nano-(laugh) Keep us posted with pics and details!!! I got some frags that I can "sell back" to you-LOL-superman, susnset, reverse sunset, pokerstar, rainbow....J/K
  13. Chalices wanted/Bali Tri color PM Sent to new school
  14. Good point about the eggcrate-I did not realize that-what a noob I am If I had saved the emails that went back and forth I would post them up-long story short after 4 emails I said "I hear you boost the contrast up so the corals looks more vibrant" The reply was "what's wrong with that-LOL". I have spoke to at least 8 people who tell me this person dose this, others have actually gave me the name before I even mentioned it. but without those emails its all hearsay-and there was no true "Ya I boost the contrast-what about it" I figured most if not everyone was against this-its just been nagging away at me. Granted I have kept nearly all the corals, as I was interested in the coral, but when its between that person and another selling the same thing, you are (or at least I am) always going to go for the "better" looking coral.-IMHO
