Mike, that's why its called a Controller!! It's not just monitors but switches off or on any equipment according to the set parameters.

The quiz box doesn't cause a server load because it doesn't 'call' the database. You can click the view new post to view... as it will be just you that 'asks' for the search function... rather than everyone who will automatically 'ask' for the search EVERYTIME they reload a page.

Those features have been removed as it is contributing to the server load. The forum is growing so fast with so much data that the two queries are causing the database server to slow down as every time a page is reloaded, a query is sent to search the entire database to search for the most recent threads and the most popular threads. That is the recommended action to take after some investigation was done. Hopefully, it won't inconvenience you guys too much but I am sure you have noticed the site is much much faster now? AT

I love Roidan's thread........ for Roidan! Kidding... I love the colours of his tank and I'm constantly amazed at how much bioload he has.

Spider's a big boy now... but still a boy. Happy birdday, dude!

Alright guys. Take a break from this. Let's not add further oil to fire until I make my announcement on this matter. AT

I can't remember who bought these two bulbs from me initially when I mistakenly sold them as 10k bulbs? Remember I took them back and refunded you your cash? Please contact me asap.

Hmmm.... a small Tunze stream will be able to give ample current throughout the whole tank but you have to be creative in hiding it and positioning your livestock so they get maximum benefits while not getting hurt by these currents. You can also use small powerheads but I very much recommend a Stream... best if its the controllable type.

Thanks dude! Good info!

Anyway... just to ask around... do you buy a chiller based on 'Cooling Capacity' or 'Compressor Size' coz I was told one thing by someone and so many others say another. I hate paying for something that is not what is supposed to be.

Good to hear frank discussions about chillers. You know what? You guys should bring this up in another thread! Make it more 'exposed' for public learning!

Good good. Looks good to me. Seems like there are chillers out there which perform a lot better than the *.***p **. Nothing we dislike more than people who don't deliver what they promise or give substandard stuff. But they shall sow what they reap. The truth is out there.

? I thought the info says you need a pressure rated pump albeit a lower capacity one to perform properly?

What an expensive LED light!

Do they have blue cabinets there?

They are certainly not the same. Two different products. Kalkwasser is sodium hydroxide. Dkh buffer is sodium bicarbonate. Do a search on these two products and you'll learn what they do.

Ervine... you need to pump water into the CR.

Not really, but I really want to know.

Don't worry... we'll bring it back down soon for good behaviour! Over here in SRC, we believe everyone can change for the better... and nobody's perfect... including me...

Danano says he has not been selected for any foreign TOTM.

Tip: Don't get parquet or laminated hardboard floorings. Always assume a flood or major spill will happen. If you can built a channel or wet area for your tank, that's best!

Going to give the monkee a look through at my place to get a better idea what's in store for a really serious... reef tank with home attached. Hopefully with more tips thrown in, it'll give him a better idea!

Yes, that is the reason why its necessary for the co-operation of EACH member to make surfing a pleasant experience for EVERYONE else. Imagine coming to the forum and EVERY single thread is off topic... what a waste of time right? We admin and mods are serving the common good... pls help make our jobs a lot easier.

I prefer the Kermit Jedi... its so you... I can't imagine you as a transformer!
