Mike,

Your run time calcs look right on, so the other thing you need to know is if your pump will run on the output waveform of the APC's inverter. The APC puts out a stepped (modified) sine...

Hey Mike, is Kingfish open and working on Saturdays (like today?) I got a hankerin' to come down to Austin this afternoon. May be the push I need to be able to stop by the shop.

My tank is a year and a half old now. I've also gone through a few...

Hmmm, I've been battling a rash of red cyano on the sand in the front part of my display for a couple of months, also. Don't know what started it, as I don't think I changed anything. I also don't...

Even with some paint on those wood slats they might swell just a little in that humid atmosphere. I think I would leave just a little bit of tolerance (aka "slop" :) ) in between those slats of wood...

I don't have a Durso setup myself, but for what it's worth, I have read that you should let them run noisy for a couple of weeks with the normal salt water before you try to "tune" them. The reason...

I would also like a little elaboration on the Loc-Line, as I was planning to use it. What problems have you had with it? Any others things besides salt creep? It seems such a popular product, and...

Re: Re: Checkin' In

Gee, thanks! It's really great to get a compliment on my tank in Dudester's thread. :D

Actually, there wasn't much thought given to aquascaping in that tank. I'm more of a systems integration...

I think the MJ 1200 would blow things around a bit too much. I have a 20L with a modded AC110 on the back as a refugium. I get a pretty nice flow just from it. But I originally put a MJ600 on each...
