Not discontinued, just updated. My link

Is there a difference between 150W and 250W DE sockets?

Petland.

Ikea has very high gloss white paneling.

I usually pour the kalk into the water, not the water into the kalk. Seems to clear up faster for me that way.

My longnose goes crazy for PE Mysis.

Another option is to put a thin bead of silicone around the bulkhead. The only time I was able to successfully reverse a bulkhead I used two gaskets.

Steve, I have a fixture from Robert that is over my 30x30 cube. It is 36 LED's on 6 24" aluminum rails. Does a pretty great job of spreading the light and keeping the intensity high enough to grow SPS. Might be something to consider. Obviously it would involve taking your current fixture apart. Jim

Have you considered the Eheim 1262? Love mine.

Are you using spray paint, or painting it on with a brush?

I'm picking up a custom sump tonight. I'll post pictures when I get it, although you can tell from the couple of pictures already posted that he does quality work.

Do you happen to have any of the live sand available for sale?

Interested in the Live Rock.

I'm a little confused by the Modern Coral Reef books. I was under the impression that each volume was just an updated version of the last. Is this not the case?

David, I live in the Belleview development. I would love to see an actual running reef. Jim

I just purchased a 120 gallon (4x2x2) tank and have decided to make the jump from freshwater to salt. I anticipate eventually having a reef, but I'd like to start a FOWLR tank first. That being said, all my equipment purchases are going to be made with a future reef setup in mind. I have the tank now, plan on building the stand and canopy soon and will figure all the rest of the equipment out from there. My first purchase is going to be The Coral Reef Aquarium by Ron Shimek. Just for reference, I live about a mile south of Old Town Alexandria so if anybody wants to show off their tank at some point I'd be willing to take a look . I look forward to meeting everybody in the future. Take care, Jim
