Of the two that I got from you at December's meeting, the first one has sprouted new roots and has a couple tiny leaves starting to grow out the top. The second one is in the same area but hasn't had any growth, but then hasn't really decayed either. They are sitting on a small piece of...

If you look at the map of the campus on the college website, I believe building 2300 is where the meetings are held.

I just picked up one of the Illuminata tanks that Robert had in stock. I was looking at the other 57 gallon one, but the 5 year warranty on this tank and the size of the overflow was too good to pass up. The current 20 gallon nano I have is getting too overgrown from the pieces I got from Garvin...

I'd love to try my hand at one - I'll be at the meeting. Thanks!

Just for clarity, which room is the "usual" room and how would I find it? I only made it to Paul Whitby's talk in October and that is the only room I know.

I'll bring some cake/pie for dessert. Definitely looking forward to it. Who is contributing to plates and utensils?

Not sure how large the cover for the Viper is, but I was able to get glass tempered that was 4.5" by 9" for my Coralife clamp-on. I ordered it at a glass shop in SF who had ordered it from one of the places over in the East Bay. Yes, they had to call them to make sure they could make a piece...

Sorry to chip in so late, but most glass places can cut you a small piece of glass and have it tempered. The turnaround is typically two days. Ideally, you would like it tempered to avoid it shattering due to the sudden local change in temperature and expansion when water gets on the glass...

Top of the tendrils have definitely colored up now - actively feeding but no obvious new buds yet. Maybe there is one, but that is it for now. I expected that they would propagate a little faster. They are currently a few inches from the top of the water and only another 9 inches away from...

Tonggao, I had strainers over all my powerhead intakes and that sea hare never really had any issues. Though the strongest powerhead in the fuge was a Maxijet 1200. He pretty much finished off the algae in my fuge and I was trying to feed it some nori for a few days before I passed him back...

As xcaret says, you have to consider if you really need a watertight seal or if you just want the baffle to stay in place. I've used silicone as well, but haven't really tried to forcefully move the baffle around. In the sump, I figure that as long as most of the water is directed in the...

I got a good look at them after I got home for the Academy of Sciences on Sunday. The color is a darker green than the Nuclear Greens that I have under the Radium 20K 150W bulb. They are closer to a dark tropical green with a few lighter, yellowish speckles. Mine don't have the green on the...

Picked up a frag at the meeting - already opened up briefly before the lights went out this evening.

Glad you got it working. Playing around with my set up this morning, I've found that the overflow setup has a bigger effect on noise and microbubbles than the drain. The drain design helps, but fiddling with the overflow (adding a hose to let air escape, adding an elbow to the overflow...

John - yes, my durso-T in the sump is 3/4" flex PVC to 3/4" barb-MPT elbow to 3/4" T with 3/4" hard PVC tubes going up and down. If anything, the barb-MPT elbow that I'm using is causing some water to back up, but it was the most space efficient. Pictures don't work so well since...

I'm going at full capacity for my system, which is pretty low - a Maxijet 1200 pumping up 5ft of head and draining via two 3/4" PVC hoses. Mine is an elbow into a T-durso with PVC pipe going up above the water line with a cap with a hole, and then a PVC pipe going down to near the bottom of...

I built something similar to the sump Durso T - though I didn't think of making it flow into a larger pipe after the elbow. It is silent for my set up with minimal microbubbles, but I only have minimal flow through it on the order of 100 gph coming down a 3/4" PVC tube into the sump...

I've used a (clean) pipe wrench with a towel around the nut to successfully tighten mine. Also, maybe the strap tool for removing oil filters also works in a pinch. I should have both, and am in the Outer Sunset if you want to borrow either one to try to see if it will squeeze between the...

Thanks to Garvin, I've got the Sea Hare now and keeping it fed. I have a feeling that he will be through the algae I have pretty quick, so let me know if anyone is interested in this mean algae removing machine. 1. must be a BAR member. 2. must be able to pick up from my place in the...

I'm in the Outer Sunset and should have those bits as well. I know I have drilled both 1" and 3/4" bulkheads in my tank. Let me know.
