Any chance on getting the Sequence pump I mentioned earlier added to the chart? Mickey

First of all I just want to say thank you. The pump selection guide and also the spreadsheet have been invaluable to me in planning my new tank upgrade. Now a request, is it possible to update the Sequence pumps to their current models in the spreadsheet, or at least add the one I'm planning...

Thanks for getting back to me. I am still trying to figure out how to make this work -- plumbing is not my forte. Anyway, tank will be plumbed to a sump in the basement and I was originally going to include a closed loop until this came up. So at minimum there will be a pump in the basement...

I am planning a new tank around 225 gallons and I think the manifold that Tony Calfo described in the Short Takes column in the September issue of Advanced Aquarist may be a good idea for me. Tank I'm thinking about is 72 long x 30 wide by 24 deep. I was thinking about closed loops as I prefer...

Randy - As you suggest I'll move this to the main forum. the only reason I posted it here is because this is where the link at the end of the article brought me. I thought it seemed strange, but then what do I know. Mickey

I logged on Wednesday 4/9 but no one was on and I waited until 10:00 EST. Was there a class after 4//2???? I guess I missed the end and didn't even know it. Lost the opportunity to tell everyone how much I enjoyed the class so I'll say it now. Bye all, it was fun. Mickey

Isn't this supposed to be our last week? I logged on late but no one is there. Mickey

Eric: In the readings for week 10 I seem to be missing pages 190 and 191. I even downloaded them again to see if there was just a problem the first time. I also want to clarify the readings you mention in the lecture. I assume you mean Chapter 7 and not chapter 17, and page 340 in Chapter 8...

Why are parrotfishes considered herbivores when they eat mostly coral polyps and take chunks out of the skeleton? They have the ability to dissolve the Calcium Carbonate internally. Do they just take bites out of corals in an effort to get the algae and the coral tissue is just coincidental...

Eric: FYI - I have never had problems downloading any of the stuff you upload before, but I couldn't download the week 6 .jpg files either. Luckily I have the original ones. Just wanted you to know it wasn't just Mitch (Carpentersreef). Mickey

Manderbe: Last I knew, Sunday chats were at 11:00 EST which would be 10:00 CST. So, if you logged in at 11:00 CST you missed it. But, then again, what do I know -- I though Wednesday chats were at 8:00 EST. :>) I thought I was catching up on the reading and now I'm a whole week behind. Oh...

I am only halfway through the reading for week 6. If the chat on Wednesday this week will be on week 7 (which I assume it is) then I will stop reading 6 and start reading 7. If there is a possibility we will do week 6 becaue we got the materials midweek last week, then I'll stick with week 6...

I pulled them up in Powerpoint today with no problems. So far at least, but I only have the first two parts. Mickey

Craig: I don't know if this will help or not. But last Wednesday they did have some trouble with the Java client. I was on mIRC but did not have a problem. Sometimes I do have trouble getting on mIRC but it is usually because I don't type the join command correctly. I believe that Bill...
