I've been on hiatus for the last year so I thought I'd show some updated photos of my 10g that was entered in the nano buildoff. This is at the 2yr mark. The tanks done really well and remained suprisingly stable considering I dont keep up with my maintenance schedule very well. Only things...

Thats what I thought too. It was more curiosity than anything. I'm sure it could be done thru gene manipulation, but way outta my area of knowledge.

Not to show my biology ignorance too much here...but does anyone know if its possible to cross zoo colors thru manipulation during proping or some other technique. I've actually tried searching this quite a bit so I figure its not possible, or only thru sexual reproduction...so not really...

I use Maya, hands down the best for visualization. It ain't easy to learn though. They make a free version but it watermarks the images. If you need precision, dimensioning, etc. then Autocad is great, but again not easy to learn from scratch. At least not for me.

I'd be interested in knowing the business details. I have the same problem here. I think the source of our problem is simply a lack of hobbyists in the area. We have one LFS here, a nice guy, but doesn't know much about marine systems, especially reef. He's not really motivated to change...

Stand down killer...that diagram is mine. I was just trying to help the guy out. I shoulda known it would be hard to read. I posted it quick and it was never really meant for public display. Sorry about that. :) The circuit works excellent for me though.

I'd give that a try, but I'd have to use the mason jar, I haven't seen one of those toys in decades. How bout 2 cups

Here's another one. Remember these are ideas, brainstorming, so don't start dogpiling on me here. What if we said every entry had to be in a uniform container, like say a mason jar . Doesn't have to be that small, but uniform. :idea:

So its settled then...great!!!...lets move on then shall we.

I vote for a 2gal max size. It might be cool to see what people could do with a really small volume. Like Matt's brandy glass, thats cool. Plus, thanks to going a bit overboard on this last one I'm close to broke. however...I think we should resolve the 2005 contest first.

Honestly, I've only talked with the locals. They seem pretty knowledgeable. I work with them all the time at work, and they have had moments of ineptness. I'll try and talk with someone on the 800 line.

Pretty sure. They will call it overnight express, they will charge it that way but its 2 days. The zip here is 99901, if anyone can correct me on this or this or show me a loophole I'd sure appreciate it.

and thats not live rock its a meteorite. I suggest freezing your tank, that would also solve the psuedo issue too :twisted:

I live in SE alaska and getting live goods can be a problem. We have 1 LFS who is not really into saltwater or trying to track down what I'd like. The only way to get SPS frags or colonies shipped in under 24 hours is via air cargo. Specifically Alaska Airlines, which services most of the...

A diagram of how you wired and your timer model would really help. On my timers the blue wire runs to the hot line. I have leviton in wall digitals. This is how mine are wired.
