Posting one more time if anyone wants it before I put it on Craigslist for free. Thanks

It’s yours if you want it. I am just over in San Ramon. Let me know. Thanks

I am still running the natural gas heating system on my 600g tank that I documented on RC. I could not image what my PG&E bill would be if it was not on gas. I think the system is 15 years old at this point…. The only thing I had to replace is one of the two ranco thermostats and I suspect...

Years ago I was going to try building a cooling loop in my yard under the lawn to cool my big tank. I later figured out the tank is big enough and does not need any cooling especially since the metal halides were converted over to LED many years ago as well. Anyways I have a 3 ton rated...

I don't have time to mix salt with how crazy life is between family and work travel :(.

I have always had salinity mix up cloudy. No mater how fast or slow I add it. I mix it up in 900 gallon batches and it just never seems to clear up even if I leave it for a week. I think I am up for trying something different. Anyone know a place to get a good price on 24-36 buckets? Thanks.

Hey guys what are you using now a days for salt. I just finished up the 1-1/2 pallet order I did a few years ago of aquavitro salinity. It's a decent salt but a pain to mix up. I used to buy from a guy out of south San Francisco but it looks like he is no longer around. Where can I find a deal...

Thanks for the info guys. I ended up just ordering http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150951144068&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1120 as they were stainless steel based off of JAR's comment about rusting. Not as nice and simple as the push to adjust but I could not find anything like...

Anyone want to go in with me on an order from Griplock Systems? They make the adjustable aircraft cable hooks. I am looking at picking up these for my new LED build for my 600g tank. They have a $100 minimum order and the ones I want are only $4.18 each and I only need 16 of them. Let me...

I just got mail bombed with about with about 30 thread subscription email notifications and all of the latest posts seem to be from mid June. Is the site running so slow things got plugged up?

Thats nothing. Try a pissed off 12" Clown Trigger. Yours is just a flesh wound. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra_cUTmQykc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3JoudOagk&feature=related

I use Profilux stand alone dosers and while its not the same as their controllers they have been rock solid and their support has been great. So +1 on them as a company. Thanks

We went in October and stayed at the Drury Inn in Flagstaff. It was real reasonable in price and they have a nice hot breakfast in the morning. Great for kids. We stayed two nights there. One day we did Sedona which is about an hour from Flagstaff and the next day we did the South Rim of the...

While that is another option I highly prefer the simplicity and reliability of an industrial grade thermostat like the ranco vs a more complex multi purpose device like a reef keeper.
