I did it and there was no problem...it was quite easy. The 100g tank has been running for months and has been as good as 'store-bought'. Just make sure to use Aquarium Silicone (get it from a glass shop, it's cheaper) and some strips of good tape to hold it together until it cures. Cure it...

I've followed CapFusion's suggestions, mostly feeding more. I can see green and red in the sand bed and a few strands in -of all places- the lip of the powerhead's outlet. There are also some green spots on the magnet, but that's it. Early on, I was assured by I don't remember who that by 8...

I need an in sump skimmer with a foot print of about 5"by5" for a 75 gallon reef. Is there such a thing? I've got a pro clear aquatics wet/dry thats been running skimmerless for a long time, and I would like to be able to feed corals more often without worrying about my water parameters. The reason...

I am having a heck of a time keeping my Hard Corals living. My soft corals are doing great but I just had a Moon Coral die and my Brain Coral is coming off of it's skeleton. I have 10,000 watts of lighting and everyone says that is plenty..anyone have any ideas why these corals are dying?

I found a small creature ne'erbefore seen in my tank. Was hoping you might be able to help me identify. Could not get a decent photo. it is rather the shape of a tear drop and resembles a "sowbug" -- flat on the bottom, rounded on top, with antennae out the front. It moved pretty quickly along...

I want to replace my "T connector" between my Iwaki 100 pump and the two bulkheads with a "T-Valve" that is connected to a power source (110 AC, or DC if need be). I just want to alternate the flow of water returning to the tank. I have looked at the Squid type (non powered) units, but they are to...

I have a single 150 watt 10k metal halide and 2 Daylight 5.7k fluros, and 1 atinic blue fluro over a 4 foot tank, what would be the best hours per day to run these lights ? Also since the tank is a fairly new setup, would leaving them on longer then normal increase or speed up the growth of alge...

I have been doing my research on which lighting setup to buy, but I'm having trouble with which type of bulb to go with. I will be getting a 65 gallon tank (36x18x24) and plan on going with only 1 250w MH with CF actinic supplement. I am going to have only a few SPS, LPS, fish, and possibly...

I am setting up a new calcium reactor and am wondering what the bubble rate should be per minute.

I've got a bunch of the normlal guys, but here is a few special ones in my refugium. At this point, there are three big ones, that don't look like the standard pink fleshy ones. This guy is about 5" long, and was looking for some food on the...

A while ago I wanted to setup a pond outside, but after playing with reef setups and salt water I am thinking of the idea of making an outside salt water tank, but not the usualy glass type, I was thinking of making a wooden frame about 3 meters x 3 meters and about 1 meter high then sealing it...

I have started web page for my tank if anyone is interested in looking at my setup. I don't have all the sections complete, but do have some pics of tank, corals and PLC-electrical. Let me know what ya think of the setup and the page. https://home.comcast.net/~kensn/ Ken N.

I have a 215 reef, sand substr, t-5 lights (Sunlight Supply Tek T-5 Lights, 8 X 36" X 39W I LOVE THEM). Using ETSS Protein skimmer EVOLUTION 500 driven by RIO 3100 The effluent that ends up in the collections jug is pretty 'clean' and light, and the volume is low. I'm convinced the flow rate is...

This morning when I woke up, I took a look at my tank and saw my two baby Clown fish swimming within the feathers of a Hawaiian Feather Duster. It looked like Clown fish rubbing against a BTA. Is this normal?

I have a friend that is looking to buy a sal****er aquarium (fish only). He asked me questions 'cause I have a 29g fresh tank setup in my LR. Weelll, to make a long story short, I've got the reef bug again. The last time I had it I was in college. Please don't ask how long ago! When did this...

Last night, I picked up a tank raised True Percula from Gary. It was chased out of his display by some mean clowns, and was living in his sump. Very small in size, I think this is part of Andy's first brood of clownfish. I added it to my 29g late last night after lights were out, and after a...

What is the point where ammonia is really dangerous for inverts? I lost an anemone and it caused a mini cycle. My ammonia was at .25ppm. I removed the body and did a 25% water change. Ammonia is about .15ppm now. (maybe a smidge higher) Will my inverts be able to endure this mini cycle or do...
