[coffeetwitch]

lol, lucky you.

 

[carey]

im thinking of changing my signature. any ideas? sorry, this is off topic.

I like it! Why the need for change unless you have something else in mind...

 

[carey]

THat's good! Are you going to put another SW tank there? LOL, You could fit another rimless or BioCube.

I'm moving my rimless coral tank over to the spot so I can hanf LED's. Thats the plan. Just waiting on someone to buy it. It's a really neat tank, all happy neons and tetras and cories. But I don't spend enough time with it like I had hoped I would.

Can you raise the water level in the sump at all

Hmmm why? It's always possible just not sure where this question came from LOL. I ramble on sometimes so dont mind me if I get confused. hehe

carey...talk to the bo about drilling a small hole through the grow room wall and adding a 20 gallon can. tell him it will raise the humidity in that room which will be good for his plants!

I say u talk him into doing a freshwater planted aquarium in his growing room. And then u can have another tank. And he can work on it. Cus he will be growing 

 

[carey]

For the ATO? Would I keep the ato controlelr and stuff still under my stand?

I tried the "hey, I could use some of this wall" thing yesterday on him and he wasn't amused. But if it will help his garden then he might change his tune. lol Always worth a try. Better i wait til the 90g is up though, as I think I have finally found his last nerve as far as my fish tanks are concerned.

i also mentioned having an electrician come and add a dedicated line for the tank and he wasn't happy about the expense. :-( I'm tired of having extension cords running through my house. lol

Actaully, I tried twice to get a FW planted tank going, failed both times. I currently am selling one of my FW setups, the one that I have had no success in growing any plants in. I can't keep a cactus happy so I'm not surprised I failed at the fw plant thing.

good idea though!

 

[Sleeperr34]

Eh. Sorry. I tried.

 

[kurtyboh]

well if the plant is surrounded by water...

 

[mr_X]

yes, the ato would be under the stand. only a small hose will come through the wall and will be connected to a small pump inside the can (a mj1200 or so will work well for this).
so there will be a can/barrel full of water, with a small hose going into it and a single cord coming out, and plugging in somewhere.

[coffeetwitch]

[coffeetwitch]

[carey]

I love tomatoes too I think I'll go enough some right now. LOL woot!

 

[coffeetwitch]

[Sleeperr34]

Yea. I stopped eating tomatoes about 5 yrs ago. But I do miss the good one back In the day.
