OK! Enough chat...Starting a 1000g+ Reef

Yeah but what brand and test strength of fishing line and is the green color okay or would it be better to use red or blue?

 

[sherm71tank]

Is it ok to use some from Wal-Mart or should I buy it from Big 5?

 

[cbui2]

fishing line looks braided similar to gorilla made from berkley which has that color. line seems to be install directly behind the output port. so there are only two added ports.

 

[jnarowe]

it's just regular old fishing line, not braided. looks to be about 12 lb. I don't think it really matters though. One of your nose hairs would work just fine! :lol:

 

[mrcrab]

Did you forget...I don't have any hair!

Would it be better to get it at Walmart or Big 5, like Sherman asked becuase if it's Big 5, I'm in trouble unless you can get it online from them as they don't have Big 5's here?

Oh and one more thing....how long can I pull your chain until you figure out I'm pulling your chain?

 

[cbui2]

use a toothpick and frag glue to hold it in place if you cant make it to Wal-Mart :lol:. first you have to ask if the chain is still there. second if he lost the key to the padlock then finally what gauge of steel and thickness on the chain was used

hope this helps, mrcrab :bum:

Yeah but you had that before the stroke.

 

[jnarowe]

:lol: now that's just not right...although I have heard that from more than one person.

Well, my house AC system has been failing intermittently yesterday and today. The house has been up to 80F and the tank room was at 85F when I got home last night. The display tank reached 82.2F so definitely getting up there.

I am using some stop-gap measures but there's really not much I can do about it. It has been 100F outside so we are experiencing a serious heat wave. My store was up to 84F when I realized that some idiot had manually shut down one of the heat pumps outside. Nice joke huh? I have about $10K of chocolate in the store so out goes the spy camera...can't wait to find out who it is.

Are you sure you didn't do it and then forgot?

 

[jnarowe]

well, there's always that question too...seriously, I would retire if it weren't for that whole money thing.

I feel the same way. That money thing's a b!tch.

 

[jnarowe]

yeah, people always ask me how I am doing, probably referencing my health, and I always reply that everything's fine except having to work for a living.

 

[cbui2]

yeah reef keeping is the hardest job ever?

 

[melev]

I hope you can get your a/c serviced and fixed quickly.

 

[jnarowe]

well, it ran all night last night. I had left the tank room door slightly open and allowed some air-conditioned air to get drawn in, which kept the tank below 82F yesterday, but the blowers were still going at 5:30am this morning when I left. The tank only got down to 79F which means it may start at about 1F too high today. So I will be splitting work early to check on it at about 2 hours after the lights go on today.

I think I will squeek through this heat wave OK, but I may need to start looking into a ground loop. I don't want to be that close to the "edge". ORP was below 300 most of yesterday too, so that doesn't help.

Store is 73F this morning so at least that is going well.
