  1. Heard it's the same as BRS but cheaper. Never used it myself though.
  2. I don't know if I meet the minimum height requirement!! [emoji17] Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! You guys are like my second family... my fish family!
  3. I'm running the SCA 301 right now with my fish tub and its doing a great job of pulling out stuff in there. I've never used the Tunze so I can't add much. I will say that for the long run, I have my bets on that Tunze pump lasting a whole lot longer than that Atman pump down the line.
  4. How big are they? They almost look like acro crabs but I would imagine these are a lot bigger.
  5. Shut it down sir. I'd sell off the fish and call it a day.
  6. The post was pulled on craigslist it seems already but it's kind of frowned upon to post craigslist ads on ARC... Just FYI. I know you were just trying to be helpful.
  7. These weren't as exciting for some reason. [emoji12]
  8. I'll believe that if it rolls over and can shake too.
  9. I just see dead sand. He couldn't even keep that alive!
  10. I definitely would not just silicone over the old silicone. New silicone doesn't stick to old silicone. Especially if you see an active leak... means the internal seal between the glass panes have been compromised so you would have to remove the pane of glass entirely, scrape all the old silicone off, and then reseal the entire pane of glass. To do that though, you would have to remove the trim which is just as labor intensive of a project... at least it was for me personally. Then you would need to replace the trim or get a custom one made. I ended up getting a custom stainless steel trim made for my tank with two cross braces. IMO, for 240 gals, unless you trust your ability to reseal glass or someone else's ability to do that, I would look for a new tank and pass that project along to someone else that has resealed tanks before or doesn't mind the risk of 240 gals spilling out in their living room. I say that as a person that resealed the front panel of his 215-gallon tank. It was very labor intensive, very nerve-racking the entire time, and then when I finished it, I had to get a custom stainless steel trim installed on top as I started to see the panel lean out from my seal job from the pressure of the water. The new trim did it and kept it nice and tight but I still wonder sometimes how long it will hold up in the long run. Do I have 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? 1 more year? It's been sitting pretty for 2 years now.
  11. Only if there aren't any plastic shovels or rakes for him to lose... Then maybe.
  12. I wouldn't let that guy watch a 5-gallon bucket with plastic fish in there! [emoji13]
  13. I'm down to help. Now that you have a definite ship date, perhaps more people would jump on board. What day/time are you thinking of picking it up?
  14. Saw this on a different forum. Just too fun!
  15. Where are our teaser pics Jake? [emoji4] You know I'm visually motivated!
  16. That why I only buy used cars. I'll let someone else eat the largest part of the depreciation for me!
  17. Sweet!!! What's your gameplan? Grab it that day or wait until the weekend? Where's the terminal located?
  18. Well it isn't me or Juiceman, so I can strike two off my list of Apex-loving CaRX owners.
  19. I already have the suspect list narrowed down. There's only so many that even have an Apex and know their way around a CaRX. .
  20. Who is this Apex trained, CaRX-knowledgeable, testing guru, and dosing expert you've found? Are you going to run them through some emergency drills and record how they respond?
