Higher Thinking

Great to have you on here. It's great that you have an interest to bring a marine environment into your classroom. Our Tank For Teachers program is currently undergoing some developments and being better refined to promote the most successful program. I will make sure you receive the introductory information and you can decide if the program is something you'd be interested in taking part in.

I am looking for the 40+ hour heat packs and/or the 24 hour heat packs. Anyone have a few I could buy?

I have some in Albany.

Quite the rant there, but many points made. Recently I have noticed a number of the things he pointed out that ring true.

 

Support Your Local Fish Store!!!

Yeah, I was going to ask your opinion on this Robert. We'll have to talk about this on Sunday.

That was a really great video. I can't believe I just invested thirty minutes of my day to one YouTube video...it was worth it though.

Emergency drain: do you run it completely dry or go with the slight trickle?

Dang, lab grade probes for thirty bucks! This certainly looks like good priced equipment. We'll have to see how it performs.

Yeah' date=' so I calculated for the dry soda ash, which is what I have and it gives 0.1 oz as an option, which is why I'm a little confused. How do I dose 0.1 oz of the dry stuff? Obviously, I need to mix it in water, but I'm not sure what ratio of water to soda ash. I'm guessing it's in the same ratio as when you mix up a whole gallon of the stuff, but I just want to make sure. Thanks for the input![/quote']

Apart from the effects on salinity, I don't think it matters how diluted you make it. Just make sure it is totally dissolved and add to sump or high flow area.

It depends on what you selected as your product. If you select solution, then yes. You can also calculate for dry dosage. You this calculator: http://reef.diesyst.com/chemcalc/chemcalc.html

There is more than just the tank involved. Because of the tank failure' date=' there is water damage to the walls, floors, and equipment loss. Marineland is liable for the tank at minimum. Possibly even the collateral damages. It depends on how it is handled by the insurance company. The homeowners insurance could pay the claim and then go after Marineland through subrogation if Marineland doesn't come through willingly.[/quote']

 

That's exactly what I said. They are already filing with the homeowners to get the room put back together. Add the tank to the list of things. Then you don't have to worry about Marineland because your insurance will deal with them.

Since you are filing with your home owner's anyway, I would just have them pay for the tank. Then your insurance will go after Marineland if there is any grounds for it.

Love the fuge area. Looks like a planted tank.

Welcome to the community. As one of vendor relations officers, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. We are excited for your local support!

I might be down depending on the day.

 

Maybe make one of your google poodle doodle thingmabobbers

That should be the real name of them. More catchy.

I don't know if others have had this problem, but my skimmer goes crazy when I put my hands in the tank. Once it's dialed in, if I put my hands in the tank for more than a couple minutes, the skimmer will immediately start wet skimming and overflowing. I was having problems getting my skimmer tuned and I finally realized it was directly correlated to my hands in the tank. Whenever I do extensive stuff in my tank I have to turn the skimmer way low and let it skim like that for a couple hours. Then I can turn it back to it's normal spot.

Anybody down for visiting and/or hosting a tank tour in the area? Please comment whether you would be willing to attend and also if you want to host. I figure we'll do a couple in Albany and a couple in Corvallis. Four tanks shouldn't be too bad time wise, but I'm up for suggestions. Let me know and then we can start working on times if there is interest.

I'm willing to host!

Tank tours!!!

Im a stones throw away on 31st and Geary. Everyone has been great :-)

We'll have to meet up and do some showing off of the tanks.

Are the clams bogo?

I in Albany

Me too! Off queen and Waverly. Badxgillen and Catfish are good dudes. Don't pass up an opportunity to do business with Gillen!

What city you located in?

Bump... offers? Would really like this out of my garage... willing to donate to tft....

You know tft is going to start using only 20 and 40b tanks...

Animal House currently has a Pistol Shrimp that is like 4 inches. It's the biggest one I've seen.

I was just re-posting this

Hey thanks for that post. I actually have a Reef Fanatic pH controller, but no probe. I don't even know if anyone sells the RF probes anymore.

I used Lamotte for 10 years or so. Switched to Hanna checker and it's about 2.5 dkh lower' date=' and matches cheapo API spot on. Now I just pull out the API every once in a while.[/quote']

 

Thanks for the insight.

What size/kind is the shrimp? Price?
