I clean off the 2 viewable sides on the 180 and the 1 viewable side on the 30 when algae gets noticable (1-2 times a week) the fuge at water changes (1-2 weeks) the backs and unviewable sides only if there's a breakout of HA.

I've heard reports of them nipping at zoo's, but I haven't seen that with mine, and he's always hungry.

I use airline tubing with drip valves also. It's plumbed into my return line so I just have to pull it out of the sump when needed. I just picked up a royal last Sat. He's got so much rubble attached to him it looks like a mobile piece of liverock.

If you are near Chicago, I've got a corner one from an AGA 125 in the attic. Or you could just make your own out of acrylic.

I test for alk more than anything else. (except pH that is continuously monitored by the controller). If alk is off, then I continue on to the other tests.But if alk is good, then consistently everything else tests good.

Slow down the top off rate. Mine goes through a reactor hooked up to a pressurized tank on the r/o system. If I add too much at once the tank gets cloudy.

I'll be there Sat.

what i get out of this is that nemo moved himself to the fuge

might as well go 300 gallon:bouncer: The corner overflow really only needs to be big enough to fit plumbing, flow depends on the slot size, and on a 10 I would want a small overflow with bigger slots to take up less tank space. The hard part is going to be matching up the volume of the slots...

Re: OT: Man Laws for reef keeping unless you follow that 6 pack up with a few more and decide now would be a good time to aquascape :o I highly recommend if you decide to try this, do it at another reefers house. It's no fun trying to fix your tank with a hangover :explode:

Re: OT: Man Laws for reef keeping #19 tell the wife it's her tank. that way you're spending all that money on her.

parents can be so cruel

neat, my clowns "host" the magnet holder for a powerhead.

well, this thread has given me the creeps. sas, too funny

what's your opnion of these? local store carries them and price is decent, anyone have experience with consistency and accuracy? tried the phospate test and I get a reading of .25 where API and seachem show 0.
