Yes, it is. I remember plotting mine out on an Excel spreadsheet with charts for everyone to see. Yes, I'm still addicted. LOL

Hey Jim not a bad idea. I should do that. So far the data is on a wall calendar.

Well I just finished my modding of a Acqua Clear 500 mech filter to a HOB fuge. Nothing fancy just using the parts that came with it & sealing the impeller side with silicone glue. I did this so that when I add LS & LR rubble into the main compartment it will not go into the impeller & jam it. I also trimmed of the impeller blades, so that it will not push a hard stream of water into the main compartment. I know there is a flow adjustment, but it still flows pretty strong for a fuge. I also used the basket that is meant for the carbon & foam as a grill infront of the output that flows back into the tank. I just glued it on to trap any large material like my macro algae that I will be adding. Here are some pics...





kinda crooked :-)
