google for articles by Randy Holmes-Farley on water chemistry, and Eric Borneman articles for corals. Tons of free info on the net.

Originally Posted by sonicboom1 so your not actually drilling, your basically cutting the circle outline as it sounds like? Yes, that is basically it. after getting the core out, I just smoothed out the circle. It isn't perfect, but it works. I had the dremel, and the bits were only about 3.00.

I used a 1" pvc connector, a modified sink gasket (carefully trimmed the extra thickness off) and a pvc elecrical connector. You would have to go to the home improv store and fit a few items together. you can also use o-rings, rubber drain gaskets, or even silicon sealer. just don't overtighten...

Nobody noticed the diy bulkhead fitting?? The bits are above the dremel in pic 2, and the bulkhead fitting is below it. I'll post dimensions later on the skilter fix. It works. my skilter is actually collecting foam and the water surface is clear now.

I actually engraved the circle first with a bit that is pointed on the end and then is straight. Then worked the dremel up and down around the perimeter to cut it out. You want the water flow slightly more than a trickle. Get yourself comfortable so you are not shaky. Do not attempt to drill...

Just got done drilling a tank and thanks to all the people here and the advice I read to others it was easy. Only took about 20 minutes and done!! Got the bits at Harbor and used a dremel and real slow water flow. Also made a surface skimmer for a skilter and see if that makes it work better (it...

P.s. Bang_guy, got a pair of clarkii's the other day, can't wait for them to grow up!!! They are so cool. Really enjoy seeing what you write on clowns.

Just started using Reef Complete yesterday and today our corals look much better and have seen the first signs of coralline algae in the tank today. This stuff has magnesium in it and I have been trying to slowly bring up my Ca level so I can start up my Ca reactor to maintain it. You might want...

How about a compact flourescent 100w at 6000k for $3.33?

??Then Just put a tee and a valve in the return line to feed the fuge??

Just got the xenia on thurs. Lighting is 40w of '03 actinic (14 hrs/day)+80w of 6500k,+40w 12,000k, 40w 10,000k, 80w 5000k (12 hrs/day) all fluorescent. It stinks to high heaven too. Won't this meltdown cause more chem problems in the tank??

Also, to add to grogs, there is probably a nailstrip under the carpet up against the wall. Cut your sheet of plywood to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch larger than the base of the stand, and set the stand about 3 to 4 inches minimum from the wall. This will usually insure that you are not on top of that...

If so, could you please check out this thread: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/202958/xenia-disease Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for ou help oreo12, where in so In are you located? It is in a 6 gal bucket with about 3 gal of tank water (That's all I had mixed up to replace) and looking worse by the hour. One section looks okay and I was thinking of pulling? or cutting? it off the rock and trying to get it to attach...

DId get the water tested at LFS, they came up with a reading of 15 using the doc **fish kit. More confusion sets in????

Not 100%, but probably not. Did see, last night, a cleaner shrimp do a little cleaning work on it for a few minutes, but he improved its look. Got it on a bucket now with a ph and filter, and it seems to be melting away slowly. Could it be doing this to propagate? I don't know. I am going to...
