  1. Need powah!

    Last night some storms blew through Fort Worth, and it rained. We had some hail, but nothing exciting. Around 4 a.m., the power went out. All my UPS (uninterrupted power supplies) chirped and beeped and bugged me, but I figured it would come on again soon. I tried to sleep through it, but then I heard the 215g slurping as it doesn't have anti-siphon holes, and the frag tank drained down about a third as well.

    Rolling out of bed, I closed the ball valves to the pumps and flipped ...

You couldn't go past safely with crutches and my pregnant friend ...
  3. Dart pumps, repaired once more

    I like the Sequence Dart pumps, but like anything they too need to be repaired as parts give out over time. I looked at the twin pumps that run 24 hours a day, and was surprised to see salt creep and crusty stuff amassing in their vicinity. Yuck!

  5. New here, just wanna say hi!

    Hello, I've been lurking for a while and finally got the courage to post a few words. My name is Neenah and I'm a reef addict LOL. I think I'm in the right place right? Well I have been in the aquarium hobby for the last 10 years but finally converted to salt in 2009. I still consider myself a noob since I still have so much to learn. I currently have a 120 gal tank with mostly softies. In March of this year I looked at my tank and decided - I NEED A BIGGER TANK. With that being said I bought ...
