U235a4, What are the dimensions of your sump and the skimmer itself? I'm wondering if it will fit in my cabinet..

From what I've read, and seen, These guys are supposed to be reefsafe.... Is this right?

Back on the copper debate... Can I just put new silicone OVER the old silicone in the tank to essentially seal the old silicone? Or does it have to be pulled out first?

What kind of wood are you using for bracing and walls of the canopy? 1x1's for bracing and 1/2" ply for walls?

Broomer, When you say that you'd do some things differently, What things are you talking about? Maybe we could all learn from your experience.

Broomer.. Wonderful site, excellent craftsmanship on that hood... Question: Do the fans push in to the canopy, or pull air out of the canopy?

:) Someone else agrees... NaCl-H2O, question for you... What size is your QT, and how much LS and LR do you have in there?? My QT is a 29gal, I'm going to put about 10# of LR in there, and 1-2" sandbed. Just wondering what you have, to use as comparison...

Well, my decision to put LR and LS in a QT is well founded. EVERY SINGLE fish that I've put in my bare bottomed QT with PVC pipes... EVERY FISH, has died. 3 ocelarus clowns, and a midas blennie. Yet, I have an established 90 gal tank with tangs and other inhabitants which have NO TRACE of...

DO you guys mean that I may have to replace my Emperor 400, heater, etc???? There must be a way to neutralize copper... Otherwise it's like saying that all my equipment is now garbage????

What's the best way to clean copper out of a tank once it's been torn down? I medicated my QT with a copper based product, and have since torn down and drained the tank. I rinsed it out, but am now wondering if that was enough to get the copper out? I've heard that it can stay in the silicone...

That's what I thought as well... replacing them just to be on the safe side..

I treated the QT tank with copper... I'm draining the tank, and cleaning it out. I'm getting new filter cartridges for the Emperor 400 filter... But what do I do about the Bio-Wheels? Do I get new ones? Can they still be used even though the tank had been treated with copper? Please let me...

Terry, Beth, Anyone... Is Formalin available over the counter in pharmacies, or is it right on a shelf somewhere??

Terry, your thoughts?

Beth, Thanks for the reply... I knew that I shouldn't put the old filter pads into my display.. But good reminder nonetheless. As for my QT. I tried the Coppersafe treatment in it. So there's copper in there. What should I do? 1) Drain the tank, rinse, put new water? or 2) Let the filter run for...

I'm wondering what is the proper way to handle this? I just had a clown die due to brookynella in my QT. From what I've read, the tank should be torn down, cleaned/disinfected and put back up. What steps should be taken exactly for the tank AND mechanical filters? And by cleaning out the tank...

Terry, What would've been a good antibiotic? You never mentioned....

Nevermind, he`s dead. :( Further to more reading here and in books, I too concluded it to be due to Brookynella.

SG is on it's way down to 1.009 for hypo. That is not the problem.

The clown that is currently in my QT is sick. He's been there since November 24th. 9 days. Symptoms: - He stopped eating 3 days ago. - Yesterday I noticed that he had what looked like mucous hanging from the gills and that he was breathing harder than normal. So I immediately treated the tank...
