Thanks to all for the quick replies! I emptied half the water out, superglued the brace back together where it was originally, then I epoxied 1/4" plexiglass along both sides to reinforce the cross brace. I also added an additional brace back where the other one was originally broken. Probably...

I was cleaning my 150 gal tank and one of the cross braces on top snapped with a loud "crack", leaving about 3/8" of a gap where the tank appears to have "bowed out" from the released pressure. There was originally 2 cross braces and the other one was already broken so now I have no cross braces...

well its been almost a week now and still no sign of this fella opening back up. Its been in the same spot for 3 days now. Doesn't look like its decaying or anything but I'm getting concerned because all the other life in my tank is doing just fine.

I have a medium mat of green star polyps in my 150 gal reef tank. I've had them for a couple of weeks now. When I first got them they were opened up really nice but now they have been closed up for about 4 days straight. I added some live rock to the tank and moved them a little bit and then...

I'm looking for a good beginner book about corals... any sugestions?

I have a 55 gal glass aquarium that I use for my sump/fuge. It has a total of 4 .25" acrylic dividers. 3 are used as baffles and the other one is used to secton off the fuge. I used GE silicone I and have had no problems at all. I laid it on there pretty heavy on both sides of each baffle...

Whats the best method to connect live rock together, glue, nylon rods, etc??

I recently obtained a 5 gallon bucket full of dry rock that was once live rock used in a saltwater tank. There are some nice pieces which look like they will be nice once they become "live" again. What do I need to do to this rock before I put it in my DT (150 gal FOWLR). Does It need to be...

I got my sump (55 gal glass tank) for a case of diet pepsi and a 30 pack of Natty Light!

I have a 150 gal DT and for my sump I use an old 55 gal glass aquarium. If you look around you can probably find one for next to nothing. I actually got mine from a lady I work with. Only cost me a case of pop and a 30 pack of Natty Light! LOL The 55 gal works excellent. I have mine...

I have some grape caulerpa growing on one of my live rocks. I have a 150 gal DT, and 55 gal sump/fuge. Do I need to get this stuff out of there? I noticed in the last few days it seems to be growing faster than usual. Is it beneficial to have in the refugium? Thanks!

I do a 10% water change every week, I think its still just the dust from the sand.

I have a 150 gal with an aragonite sand bed and a few pieces of LR, 2 koralia #3 powerheads, and an overflow going to a 55 gal sump/fuge. No skimmer yet. The tank has been cycled now for about a week. I have a couple of fish, some snails, hermits and a shrimp. My water still has a little bit...

What are the tiny white things on the sides of my tank? There are hundreds of them, they are only about .5 mm and it looks like they have several tiny "legs" coming off of them, I also noticed many tiny bug looking creatures on the glass also, these are so small you can just barely see them but...

I have a 150 gal that is currently cycling, that is why I have everything in the QT right now. My params are: temp 77 ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate <5, sg 1.025, PH 8.2 They had been doing fine for several weeks and then suddenly they just started dieing off one by one. Everything else in...

I have a 30 gal QT. It has a cleaner shrimp, royal gramma, ocellaris clown, and a few pieces of LR. Also have 5 small hermits and I used to have 5 turbo snails but in the last few weeks the snails have all died. They seem to develop a hard shell-like casing on the bottom of their "foot", then...

I know the nitrates won't stay at zero, but shouldn't the nitrites be at zero?
