[Need Custom Light Stand - Paid]

Yes, but I have access to a drill press, which I think is necessary for the round pipe.

[Need Custom Light Stand - Paid]

Here is one of my stands.

Bars on front and back screwed in at holes already in the lights.

 

Make sure you bend the conduit to reach half way across, to the center of the tank.

 

1" spacer blocks needed to bolt the clips to the stand.

Spray paint. I think I used Rustoleum.

[Need Custom Light Stand - Paid]

Yes

I use conduit hangers and attached bars between the lights to hang them together. 

[Snorkeling US Virgin Islands]

How did the trip go? Several years ago I camped at Cinnamon Bay on St John and the snorkelling was fantastic in several locations around the island. I am longing to go back, but I don't know if they have recovered from the hurricane yet. Please let me know what you found there!

[Freshwater too?]

There are freshwater clubs in the area:

[Tools of the Trade]

I like the Eheim plant tongs because they're plastic and won't rust. They're better than the other plastic tongs.

 

I have a Julian's Thing tool that I'll probably never use. Let me know if you're interested.

[Where to buy live black worms]

House of Tropicals

[Where to buy amphipods?]

A bag of amphipods from HoT? When did they start selling those? They always have brine shrimp and I've seen the serve yourself copipods dispenser there but never amphipods.

 

They've been selling them for a long time. In the little fridge by the checkout counter. They are just labeled as pods and I had amphipods and copepods grow from that bag.

[Where to buy amphipods?]

I got a bag from House of Tropicals in Glen Burnie.

[This months Coral Magazine]

They have digital editions, but I don't know if you can get just one.

[Same coral, same light but different color?]

Under leds? Could be a different spectrum in a diff spot.

[Weird bubbles growing on my acan]

In my experience if you resolve your excess nutrient issue the bubble algae disappears.

[Thinking about renting a hall]

I would attend if available. Are you looking at Maryland or Virginia?

[White worm culture]

I think you mean microworms or walterworms. Whiteworms are much larger.

Or the conduit can pivot outward.

[Rubber Pad for Pump Vibration?]

Also make sure the pump is not too close to the sides of the tank.

[Mounting lights]

How about replacing the cables? I've seen them at Home Depot or Lowes.

[Any Cheap LED recommendations for growing chaeto]

I use a Finnex fugeray 12" that works very well.
