    Are you getting my Email's

    Yes I am. PS - I am not sure my "yes" should count as a full post towards my induction into the 1000 post club. Please have Li give me credit for .5 of a post. Thank you.

    ECC & CCA GROUP BUY W/ DAVES RARE FISH

    Thanks anyway. Knew it was a reach. Didn't lose the 5th furcifer until after I moved them when I left your house on Monday, Sarah! Somehow it managed to disappear out of a tightly lidded 75g with very little decoration. I'm guessing it's caught in an escargot shell somewhere. :(

    ECC & CCA GROUP BUY W/ DAVES RARE FISH

    Sarah - I didn't see them on the list, but if Dave is looking ... Would you mind asking about cy. furcifer sibwesa? I can take small ones @1". Got 5 at the ECC auction and one disappeared, so I am down to 4. Thanks!

    OK, what are you bringing in JUNE

    George, I won this tank at the last auction and have no space for it, so I was going to put it back in this month's auction.

    Food for the May meeting

    Pat - I agree and appreciate all the generosity of the people who bring food. I do miss the meatballs and wings though. Weren't they in the club budget? Does the club not budget for food any more? Not a complaint; merely a question. :)

    Thank You CCA

    Kudos back at ya, Bill. I was on the fence til late Saturday night before I cleared the day and made the road trip up. I won one lot out of the first five auctioned (cyathopharynx furcifer sibwesa juvies) and didn't win another bag all day. I am so glad I made the trip Had a blast, talking...

    April meeting / what are you bringing

    /complaint on I'm not a mod and this is merely a member request, but it would be nice if this thread was kept to items people were bringing to the auction. It's become a monthly want to sell/want to buy thread and we have a separate forum area for that. /complaint off

    No more blackworms in the fridge

    Hey Lonny - My wife would love this. My 4 y.o. still tells her favorite worm story even though this happened a year ago... See, I kept the worms in our second refrigerator in the basement storage room, near the tanks. Every morning, I'd rinse the worms, divide them into several plastic cups...

    2x4 Axial Strength

    That's exactly it. The weakest point in your support is not the 2x4s, but the fasteners. If the fasteners can support the weight AND the holes you've drilled don't fracture the wood, you'll be fine. Stands have been constructed the way you've done it and held weight (a certain CCA President...

    Pressure Crack- HELP

    I agree that's your problem right there. If you put a shim under the tank frame, you are creating a gap between the frame and stand, or in this case, table. The tank may be level but if there is a gap between the frame and stand, once you add water, the weight will flex the glass and crack it...

    Whole fish room heater suggestions?

    Have you used that system or can you tell me anything about it?

    Whole fish room heater suggestions?

    Instead of a dehumidifier, I have a vent fan hooked to a humidistat so I need the separate heater. Mike and DQ, does the 1500w oscillating heater have a thermostat? (DQ, PRETEND I WROTE MY QUESTION IN CAPS.) :D

    Whole fish room heater suggestions?

    My new fish room is coming together. It's 11.5' x 12.5' with a ceiling a little under 8 feet. I'd like to heat the room rather than using tank heaters. What kind of heaters do you recommend?

    Filtering a 180 Reef-Ready

    My overflows are rated at 600 gph max and I had them going full, then dialed it back to cut down the noise. I am probably at about 600-900 gph now. There is noise from the water going down the overflows, from where it splashes into the top of the tower and where it drips through the tower...

    Filtering a 180 Reef-Ready

    3x turnover per hour (180g x 3 = 540 gph) will most likely give you adequate biofiltration if you construct a good sized bio tower with 5g of bioballs or so. I don't find the need for separate mechanical filtration (canisters or hang ons) as long as the water circulates in the tank to keep mulm...

    Petrochromis Fry

    Can you not net them while they sleep? It may take a few nights to catch them napping not in the rocks, but sooner or later they'll sleep or drift in the open. Net them, strip them and back in the tank before they're fully awake. No removal of rocks or decorations necessary.
