My socks need to be washed. They are looking a bit crusty. *Removed comment. I like clams, don't get me wrong** Edit: Your eel has only one eye. My tank is full of angels. I'm leaking.

That's awesome. I didn't even know you win a frag for POTM. Congratulations!

Welcome! Glad you could join the forum. The events are awesome, you'll love them. The next one is in April at the Hatfield Marine Science Center. http://www.pnwmas.org/topic/37143-april-meeting-oregon-coast-aquariumhatfield-behind-the-scenes-tours/ Hope to see you there!

Go Scott! It is awesome that you helped them get their tank setup. Bet the kids appreciate it.

Welcome, I am glad to hear you joined the PNWMAS forum. You'll like the people here. I hope we can make you feel at home.

Thanks Darice for having us! It was a good spot to have a monthly meeting. Keep it up! Also, thank you to all the people who cooked food. It tasted great.

You rock Matty! Your heart is full of kindness.

I think this is deserved: Thanks JMan!

PM sent.

These are stunning. You should submit for March picture of the month. Edit: You did. Haha.

http://www.marinedepot.com/Eheim_Feed_Air_Automatic_Feeder_Automatic_Fish_Feeder-Eheim-EH3581-FIFDFEAF-vi.html Really easy to program. Can feed up to four times a day and you can alter the amount of food per feed. It works for me when I tend to disappear and go on an adventure.

These are the three I am bringing. Idaho Grape (Purple Montipora): Green-ish Birds Nest: Xooanthid:

Around here the brand Rust-oleam is the most common and has the most variety of colors. I did a light blue coat, probably 3 times and it looks great. As others have said, tape around the tank very well and use a razor-blade as needed. I also like to use a light source to see where light shines through to the thinner parts.

I went and bought some corals from Gil&Fin today and was very impressed. Her tanks looked immaculate, the deals were killer, and the person...well...Holly is simply awesome. Happy to do business with you any day of the week. Thank you. Also, did I say her tanks look amazing? :P

@Nanoreefer What on your sand is fluorescing? Also, that is an awesome printed canvas.

I'll grab that from you. I'll send a PM now.

Sounds like a good meet. Hope to see you all there.

Alright. Thanks for the help everyone! I am going to make this happen and it seems easier than I made it out to be. Appreciate all the advice and wish me luck.

I don't believe this. 200 years for a bag of Oreo's? I can eat one of those in under 5 minutes. Ok. How about we venture out to Zone 6 on the 26th? It sounds like you have experience with going there.

That's a deal.

Huh. Didn't know that. I did read that thinner glass is easier to cut when the RPM's are high, compared to thicker glass. If that is the case, I guess I'll order a 1 1/8" bit and a 1 3/4" bit for both the overflow and return. Any other opinions?

Hello everyone! I have some aquariums that I want to drill for overflows and link together. I have never drilled an aquarium and I know that there is a chance of the glass cracking. So, I am looking for a reef calculator for the thickness of glass needed for the size overflow hole. I imagine there are specific rules for the thickness of glass that can be drilled and what the size hole should be. Just can't find it. With calipers, glass thickness is: 0.225 inches = ~1/4 inch 0.145 inches = ~1/7 inch I have checked for tempering of the glass with a polarizing filter, and very few are tempered. Any other tips people have? I want to figure this out before I order a circular bit for drilling.

Could you use the one that is together and working as a guide? I would also go and look up a schematic of the model you have. Although, it might be hard to find. A voltmeter is always handy for wiring or soldering of anything.

I can honestly say...in my time on this forum. I have never seen such an amazing series of pictures. You do an outstanding job.

This event was amazing! Here are some of the highlights. As we entered the room, people were already bustling to get the corals they wanted. I had never been to a frag swap, but after this one I know I will go again. The event had pretty much anything you wanted. Vendors from all over Washington came to join. Look it is Marc Levenson from Melev's Reef. He gave a great talk about how to setup a fish room. I would have to say even after the long car ride. It was sooooo worth it. I would advise it to anyone. Plus, I snagged some pretty awesome corals from the raffle.
