what to use to earth my tank

Posted: May 14th, 2012, 5:59pm CDT by Furbz

hi guys,

i am trying to find out what is best to use as a probe to earth my tank.

i have heard titanium bike spokes are good, but those arent easy to come by.

what other ideas are out there?

Metal Halide and UV glass question

Posted: May 7th, 2012, 10:55pm CDT by Furbz

hi guys,

today my mother splashed water on the the glass of our lighting unit and it shattered.
loads of fun pulling bits of what looks like shatterproof type glass(broke into tiny little bits like a car window. none of them were sharp)

i have yet to turn the halide back on as i am unsure if i need to get hold of "special" glass?

do i need to get UV protected glass? or will standard glass be just fine?

is the glass there solely as a splash guard to protect against the actual globe breaking

any assistance will be great.

i am running a 150W 16000 aqua medic globe on the system
i am unsure if these globes have UV filters in them anyway?

Thanks in advance!

Cut on hand meets hammer coral help.

Posted: January 9th, 2012, 9:27am CST by Furbz

hi Guys,

as the header reads.. i was working in the garden in Saturday and put a screwdriver into my hand, not deep only around 1mm, but a fairly good puncture.

on sunday my entire setup was purchased and moved out.
due to this my hands were in the tank lots collcting rock etc. so i think the puncture wound softened and the scab fell off.

i picked up a hammer coral and it swivelled and touched the small puncture wound.
i immediately dropped the hammer as it felt exactly like a bee sting.

i rinsed my hand in fresh water and then put vinegar over it to "clean it"

over the period of the night the area has swollen lightly, is a bit red, and warm to the touch.
so my guess is its infected.
i've been advised to go see the doc and get an antibiotic.

anyone else had a similiar experience?
and is a visit really warranted?

Thanks for the help!

Mosquito pads OK for fish tanks?

Posted: October 26th, 2011, 11:41pm CDT by Furbz

Hi Guys,

having a bit of a mozzie issue at the moment....

my tank is in my room and i want to put a doom mozzie mat burner on to repel the mozzies. :whistling:

my question is this, is it safe to do so or will the tank absorb some of the toxins in the air?

Thanks

Iphone 3gs 32gig white (R3800)

Posted: July 19th, 2011, 10:08am CDT by Furbz

Hi Guys,

We have a white iphone 3gs 32gig at home that is not being used so i thought it might as well go to someone who will use it.

the phone is in immaculate condition. it spent its entire life in a cover and this shows by its condition.

i have left it as it is as it will then come with certain apps not available in SA.
crazy birds being a win of a game!

i will post pictures later today as the phone is at home and i'm at work.

UPS for reef tank

Posted: July 11th, 2011, 2:04pm CDT by Furbz

hi guys,

i have a UPS that is just sitting around.
i tried hooking it up to my setup to run the return pump only in the event on a power failure.

however when i simulate a power trip it kicks in beautifully and runs well... for 5min (exactly)
then cuts off. if i push the button it will run for a further 5min, the cut off. etc.

so clearly its been designed to run for 5min, then turn off the power??
anyway of getting around this stupid system?
