    HELP: How can I tell if my toadstool is dead

    Sometimes a toadstool can be closed for 3-4 weeks. If it does not melt in your hand then it is still alive. Put the piece next to a powerhead to blow the brown algae off of it. You may have to do this a few times a week. It also produces a slime layer that will sloth off by waves in the...

    RO units?

    Can the waste water line have back pressure? I want to install the unit under a vanity sink and run the good water line up 3 feet to a bucket and the waste line to my tub that is 4 feet away and 2 foot rise over the tub edge, so would this cause back pressure and the water to go nowhere?

    Pics of my new tank

    I run a 400 also on my 45g reef. It is a good start. Keep it, as you add live rock and the sand becomes live that will become your main filtration and handle the nitrates. I would add more sand for a deep sandbed if you are going reef. A dsb should be at a min. of 4", do it now and not later...

    Is aquarium silicon the same as home depot silicon?

    I was just browsing the HD and specifically looked for aquarium silicone and found a box of it. It is in a squeeze tube and not like the caulking tubes. It actually states aquarium sealant.

    Center braces and MH heat?

    It is built into the retro hood. I could drill out the rivets and cut the reflector but just seems to be to much work and fiddeling.

    Center braces and MH heat?

    Let me rephrase that. The bulb will be about 5" above the center brace, however the bulb will overlap the centerbrace by 1". So 1" of bulb will be directly above the brace with the rest being over open water.

    Center braces and MH heat?

    I have a aga 45g tall and the mh setup that I have will place 1 inch of the bulb over my center brace. Will this be a problem? There will be about 5" of clearance between the brace and the bulb, and I plan on wrapping the brace with reflective tape. Also there will be a 4" fan with 35cfm...

    Lighting too strong?

    The toadstool can take up to 2 weeks to adapt, give it time, they are very hardy. As long as it is hard it is alive. It may produce a mucus slime that needs to be blown off which can be a few times before it returns to normal. I speak from experience.
