Beautiful tanks, Christian... especially the ones with lights on them!

I am still disappointed that there are no detailed videos of setup with connection to a return line, and mostly of the diffusers operating dry.

I will be picking it up after 5pm today.

Upscales carries the 4.5 inch Red Sea filter socks, and some other sizes.

Very nice work on the trim, Jim! Everything looks great! That is an excellent selection of books. Martin A. Moe, Jr., and Bob Fenner, Mike Paletta, John Tullock, and Scott Michael are all great authors! I'm looking forward to seeing this tank soon!

We decided against providing burgers and hot dogs this year, and going with Ribs. The way our Chef, MrBret, prepared them at our March meeting left no doubts about this...

I would suggest posting some info about the BRS Group Buy, for example, the savings that those participating will get! Many here are new to all this! Some new people may not even know what BRS is. (It is one of our PNWMAS Sponsors, Bulk Reef Supply) www.bulkreefsupply.com/

I intend to visit the Clubhouse this week, possibly Monday or Tuesday, to donate some frags, including a few species of Gorgonians. If you have any frags/livestock that you would like to donate to the Clubhouse, please contact our Boys and Girls Club contact person, Jim " Gumby ". Tanks for Teachers has provided the Boys and Girls Club with a 40 Gallon tank, and accessories... including an upgraded LED fixture.

We would like to welcome the Boys and Girls Club of SW Washington - Clinton & Gloria John Clubhouse to our Tanks For Teachers Program. http://www.mybgc.org/about-us/ Our PNWMAS May 14th event will be a presentation by Richard Ross - "The Secrets of Reef Keeping" will take place at this location! http://www.pnwmas.org/topic/37304-may-meeting-richard-ross-the-secrets-of-reef-keeping/

Thanks again Sid! These tours just keep getting better! :thumbs": Also, be sure to give our thanks Dr. Tim, and the rest of the HMSC Staff for making this possible! I will also make a note of Marine Science Day in April in our Officer/BOD section, to help with event scheduling for the upcoming 2016-2017 term! We should probably start some new posts in the HMSC Thread, which is located in the Discovery and Educational section of the PNWMAS Forum! http://www.pnwmas.org/forum/33-hatfield-marine-science-center/

March 5 2016, Michael Paletta – Bending the rules has been the motto of many of us in the hobby for a long time. I, like many of my fellow hobbyists, think that the rules of the hobby do not apply to us and as a result we often bend them, go right to the edge with them, or break them completely to suit our needs. https://reefbuilders.com/2016/03/05/bending-the-rules-of-reef-aquariums/

Miles, I would like to borrow the PAR Meter after you.

I just now saw this. Refund has been sent

I would also like to be on the list. It may be time for a new LED fixture.

I noticed that there were LED Fixtures are now over the main large tanks that are holding sharks, rays, sturgeon, and rockfish. These were all previously Metal Halide fixtures. A few MH still remain, but the majority of them have been replaced with LED.
