My camera sucks, had a bit of an agae prob but it is in full retreat

[zizmans]

DIY moonlight, it's not pretty from this angle, but you can't see it anyway

[zizmans]

Again my camera sucks *ss, it looks better in real life.

[zizmans]

Did I say my camera sucked already, I can't seem to figure out if I'm able to set it for movement. It screws up the whole focus. Last shot. 3 weeks I'll post one with no algae and a BTA.

Yeah, LED. $3 at Radio Shack. Went to a new\used electronics store and got the power supply fo $3. Pulled a cord with switch off and old lamp. I couldn't find my sodering iron so I skipped the resistor (don't really need one with 4.5 volts, those LED will outlive the both of us) Used electrical tape. Oh yeah $4 for the box. Not bad, what is that 7 1/2 pounds (not weight, I dont know how to type that "L" sorta symbol.

[zizmans]

Wup, I forgot my stats

7 gal minibow
1 1/2-2" LSB
10 lbs LR
2 true black percs
3 marg. snails
2 bumble bee snails
3 red leg herms
Many small feather dusters
1 as yet unidentified orange coral
(you know the tank is small when you list those 2)

Before I mention the next 2, My LFS has a great return for credit policy
1 queen conch
1 emerald crab

JBJ 36 watt 50\50 combo easy-unit clamps right on
Visatherm heater
AquaClear 200 with a Sander's Picollo skimmer inside, took out the medium but threw in a bag of reef carbon for now
Microjet Ph
sal 1.023
78 degrees F
All levels that should be zero - zero
PH 8.2
Alk 350-400 (I actually haven't checked that in awhile)

Tropic Marin Salt IMO is the best. (Picked up a box, just going to finish off the rest of my IO)
Warner Marine Calxmax (kick ass product, 2 part liquid calcium buffer a bit $, but with the nano who cares. I'm measuring this stuff out with a baby medicine oral syringe. If you haven't do a search and check it out though, good stuff)

Lee,

Pounds, he means £ (L shaped)

James.

[zizmans]

How Do you make the symbol for pounds on a keyboard?

[5061litres]

hold down 'shift' and press the number '3' on the keyboard. or u could draw it on with a pen.... :D

[pavlo]

Hi zizmans, you need the english(united kingdom) keyboard layout to be able to get the £ symbol easily. The other way is to hold down the alt key and type 156 on the number pad.

hope this helps
