Kevin: If you take a look in the Gallery section of the website there are a number of pictures of the past club activities. There is also a pdf of a slideshow that was shown at last years christmas party. Bob

I just posted the pictures that I took to our website. If anyone else has pictures that they would also like posted please let me know. http://www.pnwmas.org/newsite/PNWMASGallery/2007Christmas.html

I actually think it was cured. The pH and had been pretty stable for about 5-6 months. If I had to guess, we were getting leaching of something, maybe phosphates, maybe some kind of metals.

What kind of lighting setup do you use on that thing. Do you use several arranged around the perimeter?

We can leave the goose limit where its at. I've recently noticed way to many DUCKS waddling around my part of the state.

I'm running a PM Bullet 3 with a genx 40. Can't think of any reason why I would change to another setup. My only recommendation would be to change out the gate valve to a standpipe for level control and to make sure you have a waste collection bottle. This skimmer/pump combination can pump many gallons of water on to your floor if not set up optimally.

We used Type II portland cement and crushed oyster shells. We cured is in buckets for about a month and a half until the PH dropped to about 8.0 and then transfered it to saltwater in our new tank last spring. After that we didn't have any PH issues, but for about the next 2-3 months the measured Ca levels were greater than 700ppm. Since about last May the Ca and PH have been maintained at reasonable levels. Since that time we have had on and off algae issues and it has been impossible to keep any SPS's alive. The LPS's that we have had either stagnated or slowly died. During this time ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, Cu have all been at unmeasurable levels using Salifert test kits. We have also had some live rock in the tank, that was supposed to seed the DIY rock. What I noticed was that there was much more algae growth on the DIY rock, essentially no coralline growth. About two weeks ago we finally gave up on the DIY rock and removed it all along with the 2" sand bed that we had. We noticed an almost immediate improvement in all of the corals in the tank. The Hammerhead that was barely extended now extends 2-3", our blastmosa has sprouted a new head etc. I'm not sure what was going on, but things are much happier without the DIY rock. Bob

I can imagine that the world would be a much safer place if we had the majority of people running around bearing arms, just as our forefather intended. Kentucky long rifles were hard to conceal and slow to reload.

I mean't sports cars on public highways.
