KEWL!!!! :jumping: I have an exacto knife that should work. I've had my tank up and running for a couple years but, I still really have no idea what i'm doing. I just, about 3 months ago, started keeping some softies, zoos and LPS. Also gotta a 90 in the works. Thanks again

Thank you very much for this. A freind gave me a little blue mushroom and now its about the size of a half dollar. I always thought it would spread on its own. But your method makes alot of sense as I have tried numerous time to glue the little bugger to a piece of rock only to find it...

I buy mine at the grocery store. It is usually placed with the canning supplies. But here in the sticks, everybody cans everthing.

Squid, Thanks again. I had just gotten to that part of the thread when my lack of sleep started to fail. Is it ok if I call on you again. Sometimes I tend to overthink things.

Hmmm--seems I missed the 101 thread. I'm gonna print that out. Just read a small potion and I bet most of my questions are answered in there somewhere. Seems the pics and drawings are not coming up.

oops guess ya really need to know that both drain holes are for a 1" bulkhead and rated at 600gpm. Thanks again

Squid, I know you are really busy, but looking over all the posts, you are the goto guy for this. I have read the Annanymous thread and got some great ideas. What I have is a AGA 90RR. What I want to do is use both overflows for water exit. 1 for the sump fuge and the other for a closed loop...

I patronize a very good reef LFS and they had the coolest looking lime green mantis. They were auctioning it off and the proceeds went to a local charity.. It was up to $200 last time I went.

I just have 2 pieces of glass cut at the local hardware store. Place them on a table top or something else flat that you don't mind not being able to use for about 24 hours. When you place them leave about a 1/16" gap between them. Tape them into position. Then put a small bead of silicone in...

Thanks ReefNut for your help!!! well I tested the RO I get from Wal-Mart and phosphates are 0. so now what? What should my levels be? On the card that came with the test I have these numbers 0ppm 0.5 1.0 2.0. etc. I got the phosphate sponge today. Rather than tear apart my HOB filter I...

nope--i'm using RO from wall mart I live in the middle of nowhere. It's 55 miles to the nearest RO source. I had a unit on my house but the sand from my well just tears things up terrible. I do have a sand filter on there but some does get by. I'm not quite at the ends of the Earth, but you...

Since the hair algae was so bad I had to do something and it was probably wrong. I put my fish (only 4) and snails and etc. in a spare 15 gal tank. I replaced all the CC with Live sand my LFS supplied from one of their tanks for a $1.00 a lb. (gret deal I thought). Then I literally scrubed...

Also... I have seen power heads that move back and forth. Are they worth the investment?

which is better? 2 or 3 small power heads to equal the water turn over or 1 big one?

Gati-- I'm sure that it is just dumb luck that the mandarine is doing so well. But the tank has been up for about 3 years and I'm still really new to this. I'm scared to death about adding new fish or changing anything. Thats why I only have 5 fish. Just before I got him I turned the...

I thinking of changing my CC for the Fuji Pink live sand. My concern is my Mandarin. If I take all the CC out, will the LR be enough for him. I have seen where I can buy live pods online or in an LFS. Will these tide him over till the new sand gets established? I do feed some BBS about every...

I've had him for about 5 or 6 months maybe a little longer. When I got him he was about 1 1/2" now he's about 3". Very friendly dude too. When I come close to the tank he come out and follows my finger.

i'm sorry by reg sand I meant argonite. thanks for the reply tho

I have CC in my 37gal with about 35lbs of LR. I want to take out the CC and put in live sand. I asked on another thread and I as advised to just remove all the CC,which makes sense. My question is can I buy the Arag-live sand and mix it with reg sand? If so will my tank recycle? Or would I...
