150 Gallon FOWLR Marine Aquarium (02-27-09)
This is a updated video of my 150 with a few more fish. I also added 2 x 400 watt metal halides (20000k).
Dubai reaches for the sky
(CNN) -- Things are looking up in Dubai. Way, way up.
The Arab emirate's colossal, multibillion-dollar skyscraper, Burj Dubai, opened for business Monday, stretching 168 stories and 2,684 feet into the desert sky.
The "At the Top" observation deck, at the 123rd floor, isn't really at the top, but it's plenty high enough.
"No question, the tower is going to be a huge draw for people who want to get up there," said George Efstathiou, Burj Dubai's lead architect and managing partner for the Chicago, Illinois, architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
Burj Dubai boasts a towering list of superlatives:
• World's tallest building
• World's tallest free-standing structure
• World's highest occupied floor
• World's highest outdoor observation deck
• World's longest-traveling elevator (1,640 feet, traveled in two minutes)
Burj Dubai is so tall, according to SOM, that the outside air temperature at the top can be as much as 15 degrees cooler than at ground level. So, if you're uncomfortable in Dubai 's 120-degree summer heat and can't get a ticket to the emirate's famous indoor ski resort, just head up to the top of Burj Dubai, where you can cool off at a relatively chilly 105 degrees.
Sponge/foam in canister filter - Aquarium Advice - Aquarium Forum ...
I have various canister filters and the manuals for the ancient Fluvals have me put the sponge at the top. The ECCO has the sponge on the bottom. Does it really matter where they go? I have three ECCOs, two old Fluvals and two Eheim Pros. I don't think any one has an identical configuration as any other one. Does it matter? Will a certain order in media prevent premature clogging? What order of media is your favorite? Im not sure if the older fluvals are set up like the newer ones or not, but my 305 and 405 have a sponge holder that holds 4 sponges on the left side of the can where the water travels through it, then over to my media trays where my bio-rings are. Like BigJim said, you generally want to have the water flow through the course stuff first, then through the finer stuff...
