Advanced aquarium in salem have frag systems for cheep i got one from them i think i payed 55 for it

well i hope they were all having fun, i was all fricking out. and their german K9 popy dog was barking on the bags too, that's why they were all on it. good thing there was no news around. that would be something to show on tv. 9 police officer cars pulled over a dude with kalk and mag. in his car. anyway, i'm not a big fan of a cops, next time i'm getting myself a sticker , BAD COP NO DONAT, OR BEAVER KALK & MAGNISEUM ON BOARD!

Ok, don’t even know how to start this.(flame) well let me give you all a smart advice. (scratch) When you bought Pickle lime" Kalkwasser" and Magnesium keep it in your trunk when you are driving home " well at list that's where i was heading from Jason’s store today when i got pulled over buy a police officer for not having my front license plate. I had 1 bag of 7 pound pickle lime and one bag of magnesium sitting on my passenger side . when police officer walked to my driver side window, "don’t know why but i placed the bags on the floor" right in front of him, the first thing he asked was what i have there, so i told him, well let's just say I had a feeling that he didn’t believed me . Than I think entire Salem police squad showed up on 24 fitness parking lot . that was the time I start to panic. (scary) I mean how should I explain to the cop that the bag I had was not a coke and the magnesium is not something that looks like math! well at list if i was a cop i wont believed a crazy Ukrainian with 2 bags of something that looks like coke and math (enforcer) ,Anyway long story short they let me go with a warning after 2 ½ hr of bullshiting with them and their K9 unit german DOGY! about chemistry . (whistle) (scratch) (clap) (clap) oh buy the way powdertang5 next time use black bags or something (threaten)

lust chance to buy for 899 with everything listed.

yap looks good, but how about you hide those water heaters somewhere else like sump or something.

respect people with great sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dippin61 well those few are not mine actually i got them from Brian when he was working at Coral reef P.C they died on the way to the store, i thought skelet looks pretty cool, :P p.s, humm i think i will use permanent marker to give some color too it

and another advantage of this is you dont need to take off your entire hood to clean acrilic. oh and about your fency overflow box, just use 1" pvc pipe for your overflow works great .good luck.

dude no fence but the stuff looks really crapy, well at list the way you cut off your overflow box, i dont know what were you using to cut it like that but you over heated your blade, looks like it was melting acrilic not cuting it :P about the fans, ................ no words to describe it, but if i was u i would of cut openings on the sides for the fans to blow down across the bulbs just like dippin61 was suggesting. but as far as i know you have same frag system i have and didnt used fans at all and they do just fine i will post picture for you right now, just get yorself a fixture legs from" ebay" or whatever and do what i did works great. pictures are below

some of the pictures are run through photoshop to add sharpness, or to make black backgraund to really show main point of what i was taking picture off. for exp. frags on the balck backgraund origenally there are bunch of other corals and fish swimming around, no colors or depth was changed.

I join Mbeef61

Brian it's most likley to be a Lettuce Sea Slug ' or a familly of them. well if it is i it's reef safe, but will eat ornamental macroalgae.

well not really the windows were wide open 24/7 it was during summer time.

i was playing with my camera, snap some pictures to share with you guys, here is a coralline algae taken with my 80mm macro lens

Reef165 (scratch) i would get it now and than say the words like I THOUGHT YOU SAID " DOH! " well at list that's what i will do Mister Crabs that reminded me i had water spills 3 times now the lost one was pretty big, i have all the equiptmant on the second floor, one day i installed chiller and left for a day to cali. when i came back- when i opened a door i saw water dripping from the ciling, when i got upstairs " you know saying" 18th century wet rug? well it was something like that only wet carpet in my entire office. UPSSSSSSSSSSSS, what happened was one of the tubbing came out from the chiller return house so everything in my sump and 1/2 of my refugeum water was on my carpet " somewere like 50gl +" (scary) DOH! my wife got really mad than, (wife) (flame) good thing I leave not far from COral reef pet center where jayson" owner" had a water wacumer that he borowed to me for few hr. anyway long story short. spills is something i'm familior with but nothing happened with the livestock, besides my water was 81c. at that time ,but it was summer time, so everything dried really fast.

sorry to hear that brian, call me sometimes and keep in touch. i'll be looking for that blue suburu of yours. i'll see you around.

actually i am fraging some stuff right now" well i was for a while now" corals got too big for the size of the aquarium i have which is 75g " main tank" now i frag stuff an put them into my 45g frag system corals grow really fast, some of them are touching front glass now, it's hard for me to clean it allready. I am in progress in getting a bigger tank, but that would be when i move to a house. The townhouse i leave right now they only let people to keep not more than 30g aquarium, well i kind of went over that limint on few galons :P lets see 75g main tank + 45g sump+30g refug+45gl frag system total of =195gl UPSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, as long as they dont know nothing about it i'm fine RIGHT :P(whistle) (whistle)

I GOT THE SON OF THE &^*&^@^(@ THAT DID ALL THAT, I STAYED ALL NIGHT TO CATCH HIM ON BITING MY CORALS, " than it took me that much time to chatch a little bastard" i put him in my frag system for now, i'm doing barbique this week, grilled fish sounds good " jk" guilty and charged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here are the pictures of 2 stony corals that i had for a while, first picture was taken when i got the corals, and second shot i took few days ago. you can see the coral growth after 6-7 month.(plotting)

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI vs D80 Digital Camera Cannon This is an outstanding D-SLR Option for shoppers on a budget. Not only does this professional-grade shooter have an extraordinary list of features, its also very light and provides high resolution 10-megapixel sensor. Perhaps most notably, the Rebel XTi is relatively cheap. It costs $799(list) for the body only, and $899 for the camera with a kit lens, although its only an 18-to-55mm lens-not the most spectacular of Canon’s optical offerings. One interesting feature is a hardware-based automatic sensor-cleaning system that physically vibrates the Rebel XTi’s imaging sensor and literally knocks dust off it. The XTi also uses an inventive spot-detection function, which Canon calls “ Dust Delete Data,” to help remove blemishes from messy images. When I compared it with the Nikon D80, I found the Rebel XTi to have very good performance and excellent image quality. It did produce a slight color cast in my daylight tests, and I also noticed that the images had a bid more noicse than those from the Nikon D80. Overall, however, the Rebel XTi provided excellent dynamic range and contrast. Colors were vibrant and the images very sharp. I was also pleased that it’s resolution averaged 1,900 lines, which is right on target for a 10mp camera. The Rebel XTi’s 0.6-second boot-up time was lightning-fast, and its’ .8-second recycle time was almost equally impressive. Like other D-SLRs I’ve tested, it has virtually no shutter lag, which makes it ideal for shooting action scenes. The 28-to-135mm zoom lens Canon provided (which is not the kit lens, but a lens more closely comparable with the D80’s) had just a touch of pincushion distortion, along with a bit of the usual barrel distortion I tend to see in these lenses. Simply put, the Canon Rebel XTi gives you the most D-SLR bang for your buck. D80 Excellent Performance, Awesome image quality, a long zoom lens-what’s not to like about the Nikon d80 (except perhaps it’s high sticker price)? The 999$ list price covers only the camera body; dropping 1299$ nets you a very fine 18-to-135mm lens, the primary one is used in the tests. The D80’s menu structure is similar to what you’d find on other Nikon shooters suck as the D50 and the D200-decent, but not as intuitive or attractive as the new graphical interface on the Canon EOS Digital Revel XTi. Nikon, however, has taken some ideas from its’ goolpixline of cameras, including a consumer-friendly pictmotion feature that adds music and other effects to slide shows. Boasting a 10-megapixel sensor and eq1uipped with a powerful 7.5x optical zoom lens, the camera takes great pictures. My daylight and flash still life test shots produced images that had excellent accurate color. The near-instantaneous boot-up and recycle time 0.6 seconds each were also impressive and I saw no shutter lag. Resolution averaged 1900 lines, which is just right for a 10mp camera. Burst mode performance was exemplary, too. In JPEG burst mode, the D80 turned in around 80 images without stalling, at a consistent clip of 2.5 pictures per second. I was able to capture a total of 339 JPEG’s in 140 seconds on a 1GB SD memory card. This worked out to about 2.4 shots per second, quicker than the rate of the Digital Rebel XTi, which captured images at around 2 shots per second. In RAW burst mode, I was able to get 127 shots in 125 seconds on the SD card, almost exactly one picture every second ( again, slightly faster than the XTi). And I created 86 RAW+JPEG shots in 125 seconds, confirming that burst mode allows for one photo in just 1.5 seconds at this quality. Besides swift performance, the D80 offers more RAW+JEPG capture options and JPEG sizes than does the digital rebel XTi. The D80’s big 10 mp resolution, 7.5x optical zoom, strong performance, and suite of powerful features make it a sure Editor’s Choice. What’s more it lets you grow as a photographer as you acquire more lenses, accessories, and skills.
