  1. I was electrocuted by a pump that was in my sump. It was only about two weeks old! I was standing on a styrofoam box lid in my garage barefoot so my feet wouldn't be cold. I touched the water and didn't really notice a shock. Then as I was changing the filter sock I touched the water again while not on the box top and got lit up like a Christmas tree. The worst part is my volt meter was at work, so my way of figuring out which piece of equipment was the culprit was to unplug one thing at a time then quickly touch the water and see if I got shocked still!!! I'm a smart one

  2. Yes, We have a 5" and a 7" direct bolt on intercooler/piping kit as well as a full exhaust and intakes for the 335/135. Our sales guy has a 335 with all of our bolt-ons with an E manage that puts down around 440 whp on our dyno! Check our youtube videos for videos of the world record holding Evo X running 9's in the quarter.

  3. I'm the shop foreman at Extreme Turbo Systems. I work on anything that is turbo charged, Mainly Evos, STI, and GT-R intercoolers/manifolds. I'm not really a tech, but I'd put myself in the same group.

  4. I have a thirty inch deep tank, yeah it is a little annoying when you drop something in it, but it is very nice to to look at it without bending over at all. I love the deep dimension of my new tank and as long as you have a good magfloat youre fine. If I would have listened to woody when I was setting up my tank, then I would be running a pump that pumped about 550 gal/hr and a sump with no baffles at all on a 110 gallon tank. He swore to me that using a 1500 gal/hr. would never work. Not to mention his recommendations of a 90% water change once a month... Take everything you hear with a grain of salt and do what will make you happy.

  5. 20k bulbs seems a little too blue for my liking. My set-up is two 250 mh and two 110 watt vhos. Has anyone ever tried supplementing the 20k bulbs with 10k vho bulbs? Or would I be better off supplementing 14K mhs with actinic/454 vhos?

  6. So last night I went in to OIAB to pick up a coral that they were holding onto for me and ended up leaving with the coral and a dual 250 galaxy ballast, bulbs, and reflectors! I normally wouldn't have splurged like that but they made me a deal I couldn't refuse. I cannot believe the deals they give are even profitable sometimes. I go to every lfs I can find, and have yet to find another that even comes close in the categories of quality/selection of corals and fish, price, and customer service. Thanks guys

  7. I want to know if anyone has had experience keeping a Hawaiian cleaner wrasse? I've heard that they are extremely difficult to get to eat fish food. What are the best foods to try out when trying to get a finicky fish to eat. Live black worms? Thanks

  8. I have a sixline for sale. $10. Very healthy/friendly fish. I've had him for about a year. Today I am going to swap all my tank inhabitants to my new tank and figured now would be a good time to take out any fish that I want to.

  9. So the weekend is finally here! Time to start working on my new tank. Any suggestions on how to switch all of my stuff over from 55 to my 110? I'm thinking I will put all of my rock/coral/fish into a couple large rubermaids with half of my water, then move the tank away from the wall. Move the new tank in the old's place, then pump the other half of my water into the new tank and transfer the sand, letting the sand settle for a while. Put like 30 gallons of new water in the new tank and start moving coral/rock in. Anyone see a problem with my plan of attack?
