Looks like a great time, unfortunately those two women no one wants around came to visit me Rona and Vid, but seems that others were able to go so awesome balls!

My wife has offered to get me a smoker for my birthday ... I dunno how many times since we've been married. My response to her has always been "I need to lose weight, not have new ways to make pounds of food".... but yeah that does look quite tasty.

What ^^^ he said, you can get yourself the best shop vac possible... but why spend that kind of money putting it into a condition which they are not in any way meant for (regardless of the "wet" description they often have)

Says something about the cost of these though, slab of aluminum and the drivers/power supply more than doubles the price?

If you got a tap plastic's near by you can always buy a piece of acrylic tubing a smidge bigger than the diameter of your lens and glue a piece of flat acrylic on the end. I did that with good success some years back, and as overpriced as Tap Plastics is, if you buy like 2 inches of tube it...

Sounds like you made your choice, keep them away from the tank.

are my eyes deceiving me? is that a rock hanging off the back (black) panel in the last photo? How'd you manage that?

Spray the inside with "Rhinoliner" or some other flexible membrane? (This is a job for FLEXseal!) :D

Went on the first (I think) one of these behind the scene tours, super duper fun and anyone on the fence about doing it totally should. Start talking about car pooling there a car full of reefers makes the trip down there a whole lot easier, and nothing says the day has to end just because the...

Worse, those mini colonies required more of your time, more water changes, more electricity, and maybe better equipment you sprung for because you feel like you're off to the races... but I guess you could argue those mini colonies may prevent you from getting new frags too, so it may all...

Yup, you (and he) are right, was trying to visualize it in my head with a cube and well needless to say I have a migraine now so that's my excuse for saying what I did and I'm sticking with it! :D

Correction if you reduce diameter by factor of 10 total surface area increases by factor of 100

That may not necessarily be the case, when using a kalk "reactor" we are creating a completely saturated solution which is clear. any cloudy water that there is undissolved powder floating in the fluid this doesn't make the fluid any "more powerful" it's just there are undissolved bits in it...

My father had a number of "5 cent feeder" fish that grew to "larger than hand" size, raccoons came first and decided that only the meat near the head was worth eating and left the rest of the body near the pond, he then planted a number of cactii around the edge of the pond (the ones with the...

https://www.amazon.com/SCWD-Wavemaker-Switching-Current-Director/dp/B001EU3QPQ Oscillating water device back when the return pump from the sump was the primary source of water movement in a tank, IIRC had some type of gearing system in it that switched the direction of the water from one...

All you need in there is a SCWD to really make it something!

Well if you just need outlets and not maximum power (i.e. low powered things like wavemakers instead of heaters) then DJ power strips (various brand names) are a good investment, I think they have 8 outlets, each outlet has their own power toggle and you plug in the back and toggle on the...

Other way around, SFWS is why the urchin population is exploding, something about one particular type of sun star being the only real predator to the purple urchin or something. Sorry if the way I worded it with ambiguous

Do LFS not take special orders anymore? Like ask them "Hey I'm looking for this fish" ?

I was reading something that the starfish decline was tied directly to purple urchin explosion in numbers which then is tied to kelp destruction. And yeah story I saw referred to them as "zombie urchins" such that they go into a deep level of hibernation (of sorts) and then can pop back to life...
