how about a whole new lid... http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=KL3123

i believe ive seen it at wilco farm store her in Albany in the plumbin section .....so maybe check some farm stores or anywhere that carries sprinklers/irrigation stuff

i remember this from a few years ago....talk to drock59, i believe he did one.....

this is what i did.. the air is suppose to go out the tee pointing up. but they all dont....you end up with a with small bubbles coming out...a heck of alot quieter than big air bubbles gurglin out

miles i think she said she doesnt have noise in the sump, but the drain pipes behind her tank are noisy

i would cut back on the phyto and rotifer feeding....like once or twice a week...it can foul water conditions quickly...maybe target feed ..use sparingly.......also i dont think your PH swings are the cause either or the temp swings.......ive heard phosban has been linked to sps RTN...needs to rinsed good and low flow thru it........carbon/phosban should be changed more often than u plan...once a month at a minimum...and also those carbon impregnated filter pads should be changed frequently......gunk build up sittin there is no good...one last thing maybe more light... how tall is your tank?....... it use to be said that only mature tanks could support SPS, but what it comes down too is that you gain more experience as the tank matures....now with the knowledge thats out there anybody can do it...even witha three month old tank......dont give up on the SPS just yet, just need to modify your tank husbandry a little ...youll get it soon..... IMO three things that SPS mainly need: FLOW, LIGHT, and low NUTRIENTS

it makes me wanna try out T-5 and play with chemicals

check this one out.... a guy name Ivan from switzerland has this tank that should of been TOTM...its even simpler just T-5 lighting, skimmer,tunze's for circulation,and prodibio and zeovit additives....no close loop,uv,calcium reactor,or ozone. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=700454&perpage=25&pagenumber=1

so where is the inwall tank going????

i think they covered it......

well i think your clown has Brooklynella. does it look like something is sloughin off? by the time you notice it on the fishes body...its to late........also sounds like your other fish have Cryptocaryon Irritans (ich)...i would do a 30% water change and THEN next you need to lower the salt level(hyposalinity) GRADUALLY from 1.025 to 1.009 by removing some water from tank and replacing with fresh water(dechlorinated).....any lower could be harmful to fish......lowering salt does two thing ....... kills the tomouts (ich offsping) and make it easier for the fish by not having as much salt to process in their body(conserves energy) i would do this for a minimum of 4 wks.. 6 wks. is prefered.......the water change is to lower the bad water conditions that arised from the bioload shock, which is what caused the outbreak.......... and you can do the treatment for ich in your tank being its only fish in there at the moment, other wise you would need to do it in a hospital tank .....id help with the clown but at this point it would be a waste of money, beings that you would need to have the meds on hand to administer at first sign..........FYI in the future i would add fish slowly and add only after being quarantineed first to watch fish for illnesses before puttin in and infectin others........here is more info on the exact procedure....HTH http://petsforum.com/personal/trevor-jones/hyposalinity.html

some ice melters are calcium chloride and some are magnesium chloride and sometimes a blend

maybe loan your computer to jay .....lol

i think you would go to the "Gallery" and start your own "My Tank" thread....hth

some good points R2D2.......the peladow MSDS accounts for the missing as water and the calcium chloride is a "at least" 91%.....HTH

i have some good friends that own welding shop in town here......if interested get me a sketch of what u want and i can let u know how much.......

calcium source.......i think your think of Magflake, which is magnesium choride
