Impressive!

Does anyone know what it is or causes it? Is it full of water or tissue? Could you maybe cut it off with a razor and start a frag? Very interesting all around.

Glass vs acrylic is the great debate right now. I think it might have to be acrylic in earthquake country, needs a little flex for medium earthquakes. Nothing can prevent catastrophic failure in a big earthquake. Jim, I think you are right. There are alternatives that are cheaper and nearly...

If I recall correctly, we are running a 100A to a sub panel and may break it down further. If that's not enough, not really sure what I am going to do. I off the cuff estimated 6000 watts at peak for the entire system, what do you guys think? WAF? Wife acceptance factor? If so, thank god...

That looks very clean.

JAR: I will tell the electrician about the sub panel, I think that is what Jim did also and is a great idea to shut down portion of the system for maintenance. I am currently running a car battery with trickle charger for 2 of the vortechs and the return, would it be better to have them each on...

It's a matter of getting down there these days, very busy with work. It's a nice program, be great if you could bring in other types. Chaeto is about as hardy & useful as it gets though. Probably better I haven't been down basis the pics Neptune has been posting, never could get a enough...

I keep chopstick with all of my reef gear and everyone asks if I eat my fish! Nope, but if a crab thinks it is secure in a little hole with legs firmly attached, being impaled with a chopstick changes their mind. And when you drop it, just floats to the top for the fish to pick at! Win win all...

Jim, I got the idea when you ordered yours from them and checked out their site. I forgot where, but someone went through all the different part of the ocean and what we use for mechanical filtration as a replacement (skimmers=foam fraction on beaches). I want to replicate that, which means you...

I think we are going to have the top 5" or so of the tank covered by the canopy so we can think about throwing tunzes in there. I am debating a way to create a dry box for my MP40's, I have too many of them to not use them but the tank thickness would be a no go. I love Vortechs, and may end up...

I really like the I beam approach for a stand, one on either side.

I forgot about the stand! Need recommendations... Erin: I am off Edgewood in Redwood City, bought a house in a short sale for a great deal. If things go well enough, should be able to be part of a tank tour in about a year.

I just recently closed on a house, and there is a 900+ sqft living room just dying for a large tank. My initial thoughts are in the 14x5x3 or 8x8x3 dimensions for the size of the tank that will be viewable on three sides. There is an extra room roughly 18x18 to use as a fish room next to the...

And now we are back in middle school.

Wow how? That doesn't seem like a very useful comment.

Not so much finding them, but if I stopped reefing for a few years and came back and Joe at Ultimate had closed shop, I would want to know he is closed vs him having moved and/or change names.

It might help people coming back into the hobby that are looking for their old favorite stores.

Because no one else has said it...why do you need such intense light racks for a FOWLR?

That was great!

I would be interested in the mantis when you take it out.
