Awseome new additions to the tank, NG. The trumpet coral is going to be fantastic once it opens up. Love the colors on those watermelons.
Thanks DR
It's cute I like it. Something different with some color.

Ng If Home depot don't stock the clamps, see if you can find an agricultural supplier. They usually stock heaps of things like the ratchet clips. I hope that they are not to hard to get.
One option would be to flick off an email to Jason at Aqua C, and ask him where he gets his.
surfjeepzx, g'day cobber. Been down under before or know a few mad aussies? :lol: I found mine at a rural supplier. They can be used to clamp poly pipe onto the relevant fittings, instead of hose clamps. Especially if there is a chance they can rust.
Thanks!

Yeah got it last Friday. I hated the thing the first days. Reading the manual helps forget what people say haha. I got the Dx version supposedly 10MP, but well just see about that when I get the hang of it. Yes big Noob to DSLR
Say that tang is looking better now. Was it just the FW dip or did you try other things?
Awww.. sorry! You'll get used to it!
Nope, just FW dip so far. We'll see if the cycle brings back the worms.

Just catching up on the thread.
Typing - when I went to school, I took typewriting class. That's right, an actual typewriter. And it was a manual one, so you had to press each finger down hard to make the striker slam through the black ribbon to press the character onto the paper. We used erasers with brushes to 'fix' a typo. Typing on those was tough, but we were told when you get to an automatic (electric) typewriter you'll love it. Computers were so basic back then that only a few geeks used them at my school and they just did stupid stuff like make their name scroll on the screen endlessly.
Of course, things have gotten better, right?
<b>Hose clamps made of plastic</b> - Marine Depot sells these, as does your LFS. linky
<b>Microbubbles from sump</b> - you might have room for a bubble tower to stop them in the first place. Here's one out of acrylic. You could do the same thing with something from Walmart like a Rubbermaid Loaf of Bread container stood up on its end.

I've never been to AU but in my worldly travels for surf I've run into a few wild Aussies. The mates I've met have always been fun to hang and surf with.
I agree those clamps would be a good option in that they're simple and no problems with rust or corrosion.
G'day

WOW, A 50 HF in a 90? I run a 17HF in a 135 with a 30 gallon sump. It's moving a lot of water and keeps both 1.25" drains pretty full of water.
My LFS freind/owner has a 32HF in a 180 in the back office which he uses to grow out corals and that thing rips. He just mentioned he was going to downsize the pump because the turbulence was excessive for the tank.
I can only imagine a 50HF must be ridiculous using the 17 and 32 in larger tanks as comparisons. Do you have a lot of water noise from the overflow and sump too?
By the way NG, I've been following this thread since it started and you've been doing a great job. It's nice to see fresh enthusiasm in the hobby and your posts lend a nice new flavor to this site. Keep up the good work and always realize this hobby is a constant learning process no matter how many years or experience you have in it.
It's also nice that you're willing to allow others a peek at your other hobbies/passions. Many of us have more than one thing we do well besides reefing and work. Don't worry about the naysayers, Be happy, lah lah lah. :dance:

Ahh... I forgot about this. You mentioned this to me awhile ago and I was going to try it, but I forgot about it. I might try tomorrow and see if it helps. Thanks!
Typewrites huh? Wow... GrandPa Melev
LoL That's a funny animation. I can't imagine a world without the internet and computers!

Heck, I remember when we got a microwave back in the late 70s. That thing was SO heavy that we hardly could get it out of the box that christmas. And you know what? It lasted well over 10 years!
No grandpa yet, my dear. My son has been repeatedly reminded that I'm far too young for that duty.

if that is a 75G tank, it is pretty unlikely that that is 150# of rock, the 75's I have setup with 100# fill the entire back walls up. Suppose if that rock is pure cement it could weigh a lot but I think 150# is awful optimistic. I do like all the open floor area
