Does anyone have a recipe to remove ink from the surface of lacquer. My 15 month old son made some not so nice art work on my coffee table. Pledge didn't work. Thanks

Hi, I am preparing to get an under-sink RO system with pressurized storage tank for both drinking and aquarium use, and have a question about the auto shut-off (ASO) valves included in most systems. When the ASO valve is activated it shuts down the input to the RO cartridge and causes the...

Please could somebody tell me what is the best salinity level at 75f for these corals. many thanks Jon Machon

SEBAE ANEMONE for $2,750? Shipped frozen? Thaw in a microwave? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2381949519 Or maybe just some ww.nano-reef.com advertising? :-)))

I added some live rock recently (bought it from someone local) and I'm now hearing a snapping or popping sound from inside the tank. I was adding four peppermint shrimp as an attempt at aiptasia control and then heard the noise about 20 mins later- it was evening and I had only the actinics on. I...

Can you mix a school of Antheas and Chromis together in the one tank? ... What would be regarded as the smallest school of each for them to be happy . Ive got a 7 X 2 X 2 ...i'd like about 3-4 of each in the tank.

I am looking at rearanging my tank, I want to try and get that cliff edge look, at the moment it just looks like rocks on rocks. Some base rock, and some live rock and some with living corals on them. Anyhow, there is a bit of a mix of soft corals and hard or stoney type corals. If I arrange...

Just a quick observation and question... On my 135 (72x18x24h), I have 3x175MH 10000K and 2x160 03 actinics. Actinics are on for about 11 hours, MHs for about 9.5 hours daily. I have found that upon placing a rock with coralline algae covering it into the tank, the coralline on the top of the rock...

I wish I could get better pics to really show how big this thing is, the spot it resides in my tank wedged underneath a piece of live rock makes it hard. http://www.digitalrage.org/tank/MVC024S2.JPG http://www.digitalrage.org/tank/MVC026S2.JPG http://www.digitalrage.org/tank/MVC033S.JPG

I'm have a passing familiarity working with epoxy & fiberglass. (West System Epoxy, to be exact.) A buddy wants me to help build some pseudo reefs out of the stuff. We're both wondering if there are bad leaching effects if we use epoxy & fiberglass. Can anyone help? Regards, Kevin Kinney

Hi I'm planing to build custom lighting for my new aquarium. I'm going to put 2 * 250W doubleended MH bulbs. Is it necessary to put UV shielding/filtering glass between bulb and surface of aquarium? If it is necessary, would 4mm thick plain glass be good? Thanks Mislav

Does anyone know how to get a Mag 5 to run quieter? I've padded it, set it on a cushion base and it still sounds like a rattle. I checked for cavitation, modulated the outfeed to no avail. It still makes the sound when disconnected from the plumbing. It doesn't sound terminal,...

Does anyone know the reason all floursent ballasts use solid wire? My two atinics are mounted to stands that sit on the top of my tank so I can easily move them but the constant moving causes the soid wire to fatigue and break. Does anyone know if the same awg stranded wire can be used for the last...

I am starting a new reef set-up and was wondering can I add 50 lbs cured LR to tank without using MH lighting, also is this enough for a 30 Gallon tank 48x18x12 Thanks, J C.

I have a 48 * 13 * 20 55 gal tank. I currently have 130 watts from a customsealife smartlite. I am interested but not locked in to the idea of getting an anemone. Anyone know about what types would be appropriate with this amount of light, or how much more light I might need?
