I would personally do as mentioned earlier, run them both as tanks into one sump, put the macro in the sump with a cheap light, and use the 35 for a frag/grow out/study tank with a couple of fish that would be hard to keep in a main tank, like hawkfish that eat crustaceans for example or the above mentioned pipefish that don't appreciate a lot of activity and flow.

That would open up room to study things like growth rate and shape under different flow and lighting, and allow you to get in and out without disturbing the reef. All you would need for this to work is a return pump for the 35, and a light fixture for it appropriate for whatever will grow in it.

You get to increase overall volume, and create a whole other setup to study the morphology with your students with minimal increase in equipment.

If you choose to go this route i may have an extra mag pump, i think it is a 5 or 7, that you can have to help facilitate the setup.

**edit** just noticed this was for your home setup... i have no opinion on that, do what looks best to you!

To throw another option into the mix, this is the carx i am looking at for my nano

maybe we can catch up monday then.

couple pix

got a good photo tonight at the winter season ticket holder party... probably will use it for the christmas card.

and speaking of the gorilla, took this photo a couple weeks back that i was especially proud of given the ultra slow speed of my camera... that is miles he is pwning at the memphis game

anyone gonna be at the pacers game? maybe we can meet for a beer?

yeah smeggy saved a fistfull of dollars.

i totally misread ninga btw.

if i buy 5 memberships, can you guarantee r3 gets called whale for a year?

3. Clam(s)

IME these are VERY hard to frag!!!!

You should also look for GSP and some of the weed growing montiporas, caps and digis come to mind. They are easy to grow under t5, and are easily fraggable. If you get some caps, you can do the cool checkerboard pattern and let them grow into one piece, fun for students.

buy a 29 gallon tank, show them the reciept, then return the 29 for a 40, they won't know the difference.

if you go 1911 get the kimber with trace grips!!!! otherwise i would recommend the springfield xdm45

acrylic lets you do cold water, not sure if that will ever be of interest to you.

Got several pm's, thanks for your help John.

Highly recommend them.

FWIW I have hundreds of the brand new 2009 seafood watch pocket cards if someone wants to grab some for a meeting. My company triple shipped them to me. Even with 1100 students to give them out to, I have several hundred left over. PM me if interested, I can mail them to someone.

call a few dealerships and see if they offer weekly rentals, several around here do.

If it moves North, you may consider the new Foothills Park in Lake Oswego. Open kitchen, dogs ok, shade, bathrooms etc. power available, amphitheater seating, sweeping river views...close to freeway, not sure what else you are looking for, but it is on the SW side of Portland so it may help with your Salem and Eugene folks.

There isn't a specific web site for it yet, but there is ample free parking and it has very good access for everyone. If someone is interested in the park and checking it out for this or any future event, PM me and I can meet you there and walk you through the amenities. It is likely the best city park you will find amywhere if LO works.

** edit: nevermind, there is a significant rental fee for this park. Here is a link with the info, but probably way out of budget

cut it, cut it now.

drill it with a masonry bit and use nylon threaded rod and nuts to bolt it together.

Did you purchase your solana locally? if so, please pm me the shop that stocks them.

Nigripes or nothing.

thanks for the pics!

replying to pm right now.

Sorry, having connectivity issues in the new apartment.

The dimensions of the sump are 18.5X18.5X16.5(high)

There is a 3/4" bulkhead for a return pump.

The sump is divided in half, designed to have a built in refugium, but I never ran it in that capacity.

Hope that helps.
