Do any LFS or sponsors in the Portland area have in stock the digital strip timer? http://www.marineandreef.com/shoppro/timers_digital.htm

I have a galaxy that has gotten to big for my small tank .I fragged a piece about the size of a golfball to keep but the rest need's to go. About 7 x 5 inches ,a really nice piece, purple with white tips and a hint of green. $30 or trade for a corallife or equall, used wavemaker.

Opps here's the pic

I stole my son's bug holder to keep some small mushroom frags I got from Nyles from blowing away. They seem to love it. Nyles as soon as I put them in they expanded and now have grabed onto the sand.Thanks for the great colors.

I didnt know that Bob Wiley (WHAT ABOUT BOB) was a member.

Adding 175 MH to my 30 gallon tank. I have VHO right now .Is it better to turn the lights on for a hour a day and graudually increase the time to were I want to be, or screen (shade) the light and leave for the full photo periodright from the start. I'm going to be supplementing with my vho in the begining anyway.

What balls!!! With those calls they Deserved to WIN !!!!!!!(rock2)

Anybody use one of these wavemakers? and with what results. http://www.currentsea.com/wavemaker.htm

I got one from Joel about a month and half ago. They look great and add some nice color to those darker areas in the tank.

I think they are available around the end of Jan. I just wanted to kow if I could keep my business local.

I want to get one of the new Hydor koralia pumps. Is there any LFS that carries the Hydor brand , that I might be able to order one at.(scratch)

I would hate to see membership fee's then!

AND NILES IS THE WINNER

looks great, love the flow!!!

Since it was donated to the club I don't feel it would be right to sell it for cash . nyles I'll pm you

Hi guys, I was a lucky winner at the christmas party of a new ViaAqua ( I think its about 21 gallons) http://www.commodityaxis.com/ProductData.aspx?id=37 . I'm still trying to master my tank so I don't need to try another tank.I would like to trade this with someone who could use it . I'm looking for some zoo's,paly's,softies all the bigger the better. The tank is a nice setup complete with pc lights.

I know the feeling ,I was scrambling last night after a couple of hours of no power. I ended up going to fred meyer and buying a cigarette plug inverter($15.99) . ran a 100 foot extention cord from the car to the tank it powered a 250 gph powerhead all night with no problems.

thanks for the input,guys and girls!

I wanted to get a fire(blood) shrimp but i read in my invert. handbook ( by scott michael) that they will eat zoo's and soft corals. Everywere I have looked that is selling them online don't mention anything but that they are reef safe.Anyone had any bad experiances with them and do they get along with reg. cleaners.

great info !!

Thanks guys, I will work on it and try to get that t on top.

Jackpot !!! It just dosen't seem to flow like it should . Like a air pocket is forming in the line & only letting so much water through unless you were to suck on it to get the air bubble out. I have even put a tee in the line down by the sump thinking that it would let the air out and flow good.

The closet one is the overflow . There is ph there but It dosen't matter I tried taking everything out so it is just a hole still wouln't start. My return is 3/4 and my overflow is 1 1/8. .JUST FLOW DAM YOU

When I start the siphon ( by closing the ball valve briefly) I can turn the pump all the way 100% open and it will flow twice as much (300gph) and it will stay with that flow as long as the pump isn't not turned off (or power goes out)and it stops the siphon . The siphon works fine thats how I have run it but the problem is that it will not start the siphon itself . when the power is turned back on the higher flow of the pump plus not having the siphon results in THE TANK OVERFLOWING not the sump. I have never had it happen but I dream of the day when the power goes out and comes back on when i'm gone. DOH!

I have a thirty gallon hex and I'm trying to advert a overflow problem with it if the power goes out(when).I have never been able to get it to flow good from the tank to the sump from the begining. I have a ball valve about a foot down and if I close it briefly and open it it starts a really good siphon.It flows at 300 gph with the siphon but if I turn the pump way down (about 50%) and just let the natural flow go with no artificial siphon it is flowing at 120 gph. Not sure if that is enough turn over for the tank.I have 1 1/8 flex tube running about 4 feet down and over slightly to the sump. There is a 90% bulkhead fitting on the tank. Any ideas ?
