No, you would just declare bankruptcy. If you can't afford insurance (presumably the only reason you'd not have it), you probably can't afford to defend a lawsuit either. Your credit would suck for...

I was going to recommend a porcelain crab as a somewhat cool-looking and very reef-safe option as well.

Personally, I would shim the stand to level the tank. I wouldn't want to worry about it. Plus, I have dual overflows, so an uneven tank would be a pain.

The italicized part is wrong. Taking carbon from the air and putting it into the ground should help global warming. Trees are not carbon in the air.

You ask for the impossible and no-one provides an answer? Shocking. Your best bet is looking at local classifieds (reef clubs, craigslist, etc.)

Yep. Also, a powerhead will typically be tons more efficient (electrically-wise) than a return pump, so electric costs can be lower.

Before any livestock, and DIYing/buying used everything I could, my 100g is running about $2500. So, depending on how crazy I get with the corals, I'm looking at an absolute minimum of ~$3500, and...

If you want to go cheaper than the Helfrichi, the normal Purple firefish is pretty good-looking as well.

I was thinking of switching to the Ocean Runner 2700 - it's a ton cheaper than an Eheim needle wheel pump, and a lot more efficient than the Sedra. I'm not sure if the venturi is compatible, however.

Where does the water level end up on an overflow like that? I.e., how far up the elbow?

I have a fuge I need to ghetto-rig as well.

From the Sanjay tests, the Lumenarc will likely be marginally better, but the RO III is very good. Keep in mind that the Mini is for mogul (SE) sockets, and the ROIII is for DE sockets. The ROI is,...

I don't think any but the kookiest argue that it's not getting hotter. I think the argument is over the cause of the heat. Then again, it's hard to tell with such charged issues.

It of course depends on the fish. For instance, anthias should be fed several times a day.

Re: ROIII vs PFO mini

The RO III reflector, IIRC, did much better in Sanjay's reviews than the PFO mini.

Just to be clear, shim the sides of the stand, not the sides of the tank.

EDIT: Actually, it would probably be the front of the tank, wouldn't it.

Re: What Anthias to Choose?

As far as I know, this is going to be a big problem with Anthias.

I'm in the same boat as you, so I hope some people will chime in otherwise.
