So, went to home depot today and picked up some eggcrate, one big sheet of white, another of the 'shinny' silver. It seems very 'brittle' and I was curious what the best way to cut it is?

Originally Posted by AquaKnight Just doesn't make sense. You'd have to assume that the entire ocean grew to warm for coral to grow, anywhere. Instead, the more likely scenario is that if there is a warming of the ocean (which itself is quite debatable), who's says corals and those in old...

I read this in my local paper, pretty scary! I know a lot of this is all just predictions, but still, not a good situation! Are out aquariums going to the only places to grow corals? Are we really going to have the only living reefs?! http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pb...NEWS/902060314

Is this skimmer any good? I read a couple reviews that said it was not the best, but it was not bad. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=6 Thanks!

Well, by the lack of responces by people who have used these I am going to be the Guinea Pig here and try it! I have searched the net and only see a few reviews, one said it plugs up quickly, but to me that all depends on how much floating debris is in the tank. The other said that it works...

Has anyone used any of the Pentair Aquatics In-Line filters? I was thinking of getting the 'Pentair Aquatics Lifegard Advanced Filtration Kit'. Does anyone know of any good/bad with this product?

I was curious because I can buy the filter or a filter kit that comes with the Quiet One HH pump. I was thinking I could in-line it to the Eheim if I did not get the kit, but the flow through the Eheim goes out the top, not across and I am thinking that would be an issue. (I would not use any of...

I am curious which is a better pump, and which is quieter? The Eheim 1262 Hobby Pump or the Quiet One 4000HH. The Quiet One say is it 'less than 45 decibels', but how loud is that really? I have an Eheim 1260 now and I am very happy with the noise level. Also, I know the HH stands for High...

This is a way to go, if you dont mind the chemical route.

I have about 6 deep cycle batteries that I keep on a trickle charge in the garage and a couple inverters that I can use if we lose power. I know that I will not be able to power my lighting with them, but they should run the rest of what I need. If the situation was extended I do have a...

I was looking into getting just the AF-94 Mechanical Module (single) and was wondering if anyone has anything to say about them, good/bad? (Pentair Aquatics (Rainbow Lifegard) Single Aquarium Inline Filter Module) Thank you!

I was looking to the 'Nu-Clear Aquarium/Water Canister Filter'. Model 530 - 30 sq. ft. 25 Micron Mechanical Filter "The 30 sq. ft. 25 micron cartridge has 20% more surface area than other similar filters. The cartridge traps particles larger that 25 microns and polishes the water crystal clear...

I am looking for an in-line filter (mechanical) that I can plumb into my system. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts? I have found a couple out there, but I am surprised there is not more. It would have to be rated for 1000gph. Thanks!

I measured and it is just at 1/2", maybe an 1/16" less. I also called the company and have a quick chat with a rep who pulled one out and did a couple measurements and gave me a couple tricks to get it where I need to. Thanks and I will post pics once I get them installed!

I 'might' have a 1/2", but it will be close. I will measure when I get home today. Can someone measure their magnet and let me know and exact size? Thanks!

I am looking to get a couple Hydor Koralia's (3's or 4's) but I need to know how they attach to the tank. From what I can see/read they have both a magnet & suction cup. Can I use just the suction cup or do I need to use the manget on the other side of the glass as well? Does anyone know how...

Same here! I can not figure out what is happening! Since using DI water I hardly get growth on my glass so I thought that might have been the reason for the 1st set passing. I ordered a 2nd set and the same thing is happening, even though I am making sure to leave the growth on the glass when I...

Just a shot of my Maroon Clown and Green Chromis, now that I have the new MH lights I plan to take a lot more!
