I was looking for some free coffee.............oh well

The above post wasnt alot of work...........just kidding....why is alot of work?

Thats true.....only thing i heard is that distilled is sometimes run thru copper pipes..... that being said......i figured for .69 cents a gallon at wally world....and only having a minute @2 tds reading we could get this guy going in the hobby.......we all know maKING your own RO water is dandy.....i make mine with the simple tap water purifier......but then again i only have the two small tanks...not nothing fancy like most here......do i see myself buying a fancy unit anytime soon...no...maybe when i upgrade my tank size....yes.

Wal-mart sells drinking water thats ro'd and i tested it @2 on the tds meter.....pretty goood if ya ask me. safeways purified water gave a 15 on the tds meter.

that algae looks like corals

Alrighty......i thought i read he was only coral.....my mistake....

Where is ashburn? Is that where that local NFL team practices when they have a coach?

http://www.customaquatic.net/customaquatic...ge.asp?CatID=lt prices seem good......on some sample items i checked out.

Can someone shoot me address for this place and when does mr. coral expect to start dealing in fishies?

Whats burbon

I thought the EDIT was something the dog must have to get into the show ?....edit-ticket??sumpin down that line!

Well i was really torn between either roozens or SCALES.......going to be in the D.C. area..... never been to scales is it hard to get to?

Going to be in the general area monday....wondering how they been looking lately?

I took the easy way out when i had cyano...and used red slime remover.....but my tank was only a FOWLR at the time.... Its weird in this hobby.....first its brown....then its red.....then its green.....alll nuisance algae stages we go thru.......now its purple corraline thats a nuisance...

Any thoughts? Bryan

I am wondering if this, http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/218636/product.web ,, on some plexi would seal off the vent holes?

So..............are you putting him in your sump or flushing him down the toilet?

Guys, how can i plug the holes in the first chamber to get better overflow action.......the holes meaning the extra 4 vent looking holes on the fist area of the filter chamber?????????????? nice pics tracy! Bryan

Tracy, i do recognize the holes other than the surface skimmer.....with water in there already...i guess plgging them would be hard now......??? right now i am still cycling/breaking in.....got my sand like i want it....added a small rock from other tank to seed the sand even more than the arag-alive has..... i would be interested in seeing pix of your fuge setup! Bryan

lets just make more beer.............yeungling sounds great!

Hi, as we go thru the cycling process i have noticed a few things on the system..... The overflow "skimming" effect isnt really pronounced like i thought....i have the pump running full steam... also....i have noticed my temperature range is @76 ish at night and @80ish during the day...wondering what type and where i should put a heater? One thing that really bugs me is that you can see the top of the water level i guess since the top trim strip isnt wide enough...like on my 20 high tank the water top is hidden by the trim piece of the tank. any thoughts? Bryan

I cant even catch my overgrown overbullyin' scarlet cleaner shrimp ...i could just imagine catching a fish maybe

Bob, i know you know i was just making a "funny"...... Yep....Dave doesnt like when things get off-topic...he will have to come here and "REIN" things in a bit

I like the old saying "you got to spend money to make money" this is so true in whatever you retail to a customer base! going to wally's soon....hope it's bettter than super petz!
