omg...my mom said, "I just ran out of vinegar...". I dunno like this coincidence.. I went and used a pc of lemon and scrubbed on the glass, let it stand for a min, wiped it off...didn't work. I will go get vinegar tomorrow. I thought lemon is as strong as vinegar...hmm.

let me go try it and I'll let you all know if they come off. I am afraid it's more of a film than just deposit. Oh, also, if say a tank that has water in it and the stain shows, how do you clean them? I don't think vinegar would work in this case, right?

thank you very very much both. I just bought the tank and it is 140g...yes, it is so big. and it's got this deposit and I am so frustrated. I hope vinegar will help solving my frustration. I would die if they don't come off. The tank is empty. and I did use glass cleaner just to test it out at...

hi Sawty, did you drill the holes by yourself? if you did, could you share your technique with us? and could you show me where I can get the bits to drill holes please? I don't think the forum allows any websites to be posted. So can you pm me the site. Thank you very much. I have a few holes...

I got a fish tank what the glass seems to have some sort of deposit, you know like calcium deposit sort of. I can't scrap it off cuz there's nothing there to scrape off. I used glass cleaner spray bottle and worked it, but the stain didn't come off. Looks like it appear on the entire inside of...

well, hair algae is not fun to deal with. No matter how much time you spend on scrubbing them, they still come back. However, I wouldn't suggest you to boil the rock. I wouldn't again,boil mine cuz what I did was basically killing everything on that rock. Just take the rock and leave it in a...

at least I got the very important concept down, "live rock is rock, they won't grow bigger"....lol...haha.. but what is "base rock"? can base rock turn into display rock when they have coralline algae on them? I have big piece of "live" rock that I had boiled it like you boil a giant...

Me.....yay

thank you, a friend of mine bought a sw tank from someone else about a year or so ago and he had no clue whatsoever about sw world and he never bother asked me how to care for the tank. He bought the whole setup basically cuz he thought the whole thing was cheap... But anyway, my point is my...

from what I heard, spray paint at any hardware stores should do the job. just be sure to tape all corners and trims before spray it.

I have one for 2 years now, also. never had a problem, except it gives out lots of heat. Sounds like you got a bad one. Return the whole light and ask them to send you another one.

thanks lion for your comments. Well his tank sure was dirty. Not only the rock turned black, the gravel did too. When I brought the rock home, I took some of his tank's water home with me, so the rock are still "live" I suppose. But I could smell a kinda funny smell coming out from the water...

I just bought some liverock from a guy who ended the hobby. The rocks have alot of purple coralline algae on them, but because he didn't take good care of the tank, those areas without the purple algae turned into deep green, almost black. I used a tooth brush but it didn't come out. Is it...

frogspawn is a tough coral specie. They can tolerate bad water. It is true that your SG is way up. Use refratometer to measure, not hydrometer.

hi acrylic51, thanks for your comments. The other question was about the actual size of the hole I need to drill through the glass. For example, if the bulkhead diameter is 1" exact, then the hole through glass is supposed to be 1-1/4" or something like that. I have never seen a bulkhead in...

hi all, Is 1" overflow bulkhead too big for a 40g tank? If not, what would you recommend? And If a 1" bulkhead is ok, how much room do I need to leave around the hole thru glass for a 1" fitting to fit in (like do I have to drill it 1.25"dia hole, or 1"exact is all good? Also, do you drill the...

don't worry, get that skimmer to run full speed. It will run normal in about 3 hrs. The first time I used Chemiclean, I got freaked out when I changed the 20% of water and turned the skimmer on. The tank was all bubbled up badly with microbubbles. But I learned that after afew hrs, the bubbles...

Originally Posted by jeanheckle How quickly did you drop your SG, you said it went from 1.028 to 1.024, that is a drastic drop and could have led to fish dying if it happened too quickly. +1. it sure is a major issue to go from 1.028 to 1.024 in a day. I don't think the prob. came from the...

If your pump is broke, and you still have the skimmer tube and the collecting cup, please let me know. We can work the deal out. Thank you.

I have my coralife 125 hanging just right on the side of my DT. I did some mods. to the return water to get rid of the micro bubbles. The skimmer ended up backing up the water and spilled water all over the place. I caught a couple time right on time, but there was one time I was at work and you...
