  1. i heard he has a giant clam.

     

    Legend says that he is a clam. And that he went insane when worms bored into his mantle. Now he spits venom out and curses in Sicilian at anyone that he sees drinking Clamato juice.

  2. Should do both. According to specs it overpowers the skimmer but there are people running this on RC with great results (and we all know that RC people are SO much smarter than the average reefer, 'cause they tell ya so)!

  3. Wondering what I should prepare for in the way of power outage? Any advice? Don't want to go to a gas powered unit and like the idea of a car powered inverter.

     

    I have a 100w car inverter but I am thinking of moving up possibly to this with 400W

    I can reach my tank with 50ft of extension to my car.

     

    Thinking I can run 1 Koralia, a small air pump and a 100W heater and not even bother with the sump on a 72 gal. The heater won't keep up over a lot of hours, but I live in a suburban area that usually does not have extended outages.

  4. Got a Bubble Blaster 3000 coming in in two days to replace stock (new) pump on Vertex IN180 gen2. Here is what the stock pump performance looks like on my LR tank. It's output through outlet is minimal. I will post the BB pump change in a couple of days.

  5. Oh Franklin , Calcium reactors are sooooo last year. All the cool kids have moved on to the dosing method :). I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I always found this article very helpful:

    PS Franklin I joined your group. Clams have to stick together!

     

    I saw that movie!

     

    Why do you say so last year?

     

    I already dose Kalk and you don't like the Kalk since you sold the reactor to me, right? Why not?

     

    If I want to dose I do have the pumps. I use the Connect Four on the left to do dosing calculations. Kinda old school.

  6. Anyone have a good link on basic Calcium reactor set-up and running. When our site was down I ran across a sale thread for a calcium reactor on Reef Frontiers and bought it!

     

    I don't need to run it now but will likely have the need in the near future. That and I have been hounded by Clay (such a baby) that I should get one. Besides I like gadgets!

  7. Franklin you lost even me with that one. I must have missed Lindsay! LOL.

     

    It is a nice layout and design. I don't see it as competition really. Just another forum to peruse....

     

     

    Isacc's site has CNN news in a window with stories of rampant teabaggins' and shoplifting clams.

     

    Should be another good resource!

  8. Looks like we got a couple of inches and snowing now. Eugene and Springfield schools closed. Do not have to take the kid to school. Yay! Kid hangs out all day. Boo!
