OK, problem. I got this UPS (APC 300W 500VA). My Maxijet 1200 shuts it down in a few seconds. It doesn't run down, it shuts down and beeps continuously. It only does it with the 1200, not the 900 or my icecap fan, or even my laptop. I've tried two 1200's, including a brand new one and the...

Hi Crissy, Thanks for the reply. What model? --Colin

Sorry to drag up this old thread. Can someone post specific UPS's that work for them? I'm also looking to run a Maxi-Jet 1200 (and maybe a fan). Thanks, --Colin

I have gotten the 36" at Home Depot before. Maybe they quit carrying them? --Colin

This place got busted. It was on "Dateline" or some other such show. The owner was an anonymous author of several drug cookbooks and was pushing Science Alliance as a discreet supplier of chemicals. He had a criminal record for drugs and I think he's back in jail now. --Colin

Aquaguy, Where did you get this guy? My LFS wants to know who their supplier is so they can order some. --Colin

This should clear up a little confusion: http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/brine%20shrimp%209.html#brineshrimpa41 Specifically, point #8. Has to be some sort of amphipods. --Colin

Erm, couple of questions. Aren't brine shrimp strictly filter feeders? And since they have no legs and strictly swim around, how can they scurry? Are you sure it's brine shrimp? Sounds like you may have something else going on. --Colin

Sorry, Newreefman, didn't mean to hijack your thread. Nice clam, BTW Here's a pic from the other side:

<sigh> I've been told both. The squamosa ID comes from the ridges sticking out near the bottom of the shell (not really visible in the pic). Any particular reason you guys think it's a derasa? --Colin

Here's my squamosa.

Hi Ben, Icecap recommends (on thier ballast) actinics every 12 months and daylights and 50/50's every 18-24 months. 3-6 months would be incredible expensive! --Colin

I've had your setup before. Here's what I did. Go with another actinic white for #3, and an AquaSun if you decide for #4. That's what I did and was very pleased. However, I wouldn't advise adding them both at the same time, however. --Colin

Not like Pets Warehouse didn't have a bad rep BEFORE this. I just want to reiterate that we are talking about petS Warehouse and not PET (no 'S') Warehouse. I've not had any problems in my experiences with PET Warehouse. --Colin
