Why aren't you destroying this group like you did all the others Roy Tristan
Hauer? What makes this group immune to your personal attacks on just about
every poster on the pond and aquarium groups? Is it because you consider
this your home group or because no one questions you here and causes you to
go into one of your psychotic episodes? Do you feel like a hero for
destroying the other groups?


What Kurt said...

Parasites on LR should not be a real problem. Is the LR dry now or
what. If its in the tank its should be just fine. About all that
affects liverock is algae or aipstasia, and they are easy to deal
with....Look at the seems or edges where panels are joned. They should
be translucent, with no discoloration or air bubbles. That alone is
pretty good indication of a leakfree tank, but only real way to tell
is fill it up with water and look.......If the tank is already filed
and has the live rock init, then a leak would be reaily apparent and
easily seen. Why not use the stand its on now if its available?
Biggest problem with a lot of acrylic tanks is size. Lots of places
sell and build them so they may or may not ne a standard size......but
a stand is not hard to make or find one that is close and modify to
fit....
