i think you going to be sweeping up saltillo tiles in a year or 2. We never use them in commercial installs, and there is a reason for that

blackjack I had/have a setup similar to what your describing, just a little bigger. I started with a 55g fowlr. Then I built a new stand for it with a 20 gallon long under the 55. The 20 gal was to be a refugium only setup. I had just a maxijet 1200 feeding up to the 55 display and overflow...

Hey BT, if your going with Laticrete brand thinset, I would recommend pretty much only their "platinum" type, which i don't think they have at lowes. I personally don't have a lowes too close to me so I'm not positive. To my recollection, I think they only carry Laticrete gold or Laticrete...

Hi BT I'm a union NYC tile setter. it sounds like you should be fine, but a lot depends on the materials your installing. What size is the tile your setting. What sort of "industrial" tile is it, as in ceramic, porcelain, or a stone. What type of thinset are you using, home depot versabond...

I just picked up a used 90 gallon tank at garage sale this weekend, and am finally taking steps towards a bigger tank than my 55 gallon. A couple of months ago an electrician was kind enough to give me a metal halide fixture that they were using as temporary lighting on a very large...

I might get flamed for this but the only thing that got rid of my cyano outbreak was Seachem's phosguard. I did everything to get rid of it: lowered the amount of time the lighting was on, made a 20g long into a refugium loaded with chaetomorpha, and tossed my seaclone 150 and replaced it with...

Had a Domino damsel doing the same thing. Don't wait to long too get him like I did though. Son of a [hr] ate most of the food during feeding and got huge quick. He killed a clown, and then I had to take the whole tank apart removing all the live rock and swindling a lfs to taking him for...

I upped my lighting some months ago for the chance to get an anemone. Now everything has been going well and I'm ready to take the plunge. I'm running 390 watts of pc over a 55. Now what should I go with : a BTA or LTA. I've heard good things about each, but I really need a breakdown. a)...

I have had the 48" 260 watt power compact fixture for about 3-4 months and am completely happy it

thanks bang

I bought a tiny rock of red zoos about 2 months ago and just recently moved it. Underneath was this funky colony of green strands. I'm not to worried about it, but.... here you go any help is appreciated

I got the Jebo Odyssea 4*65 watt PC fixture 4 months ago. Built a canopy for it and my original 130 watt coralife. The jebo fixture has not given me 1 problem, if anything the opposite. Built pretty sturdy.

where you located ?

I kept it around $65 dollars.
