    How far from the wall

    I do not think stainless steel would be ok. Stainless ONLY means it will Stain Less, it will still rust just takes alot longer. The main difference in stainless steel and steel is the higher Nickle content in stainless. Now im not sure about something made of solid nickle it may be ok to use...

    Just an Idea

    just to add to the idea.......u could make it out of 1/2 pvc and attach a few sprinkler head spray nozzles that would spray the water in different directions. You could even place them at different levels in the tank to provide water flow in different areas....... not sure if it would work. I...

    Sand dollar ????

    well I dont know how fast those things move but to get to 40-50 feet of water they would need to travel about 30-50 miles off shore. The gulf floor drops about foot per mile around here (Tampa Bay area). I have been 100+ miles off shore fishing and only been in 110 feet of water. Maybe they...

    Sand dollar ????

    I can pick up live sand dollars all day long on the beach where I live. The water temp here gets into the mid 80's in the summer. Sometimes there are so many that you can feel them crushing under your feet as you walk thru the surf. I have seen them as small as a quarter and as large as 7in across.

    New PC Bulb questions

    so i would not be removing anything beneficial my corals need by replacing my 6700k with a 10000 and replacing my actinic 03 with a 7100 blue. Just want to make sure before I go get them tonight. Is there a benefit to my tank by doing this or is it just preference of color? thanks
