Lots of good information here. But I still don't know where I can get my glass...... Anyone?

I got a Metal Halide fixture for my tank. The glass is broken. I can't find anywhere that has a piece of UV Tempered glass around here. I see that DIY kits that sell for $60 have glass with them. It can't be that hard or expensive to get a piece. Anyone have any ideas where I can get the...

I have an elbow, and don't see any bubbles going in. Today it's really bad for some reason.

Yep, I already have some. Maybe I'll stick with them if they do a good job instead of fish.

What is a good sand sifter? I need one or two for a 100 gallon reef tank and a new 40 gallon reef tank. I've had diamond gobies before and they jumped. What is a good sifter that isn't a jumper?

Ok. This is crazy. The way this sump works, I don't think you'd want to fill it to the level where all the water is the same height. But that doesn't seem to be the issue, because I filled it to the point where all the water is level and it didn't fix it. I also pulled the power to the...

I did it because I haven't done much to the tank for a few months. Other than clean the filters. It's just live rock and two snails. I did a large water change to put it to use again. I've heard of people doing large changes in reef tanks, so I figured it wouldn't be an issue.

I have a small tank. If I do a large water change, say 90% will that induce a cycle?

I have the CPR CY 192. That has the skimmer built in. http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/cyclone.html

I have the CPR 192 Sump. I'm not sure what you mean by how is it plumbed? I don't know that the bubbles come from the drain section. from there it goes into a section for skimming, then it over flows through the filtration and into the next sump section for return water. I think the bubbles...

Ok, I'm absolutely fed up. I've got a 90 gal corner unit tank. I've got a CPR sump with protein skimmer. I get micro bubbles all the time! I'm told bubbles are leaks on the suction side of the pump system. I've reapplied PVC cement around all the joints. I've retaped all the threaded...

Well thats what I would have thought as well. Especially when you look at a diagram of it's internal organs. But we're all wrong. It split across it's length. It stretched out. The center started to get thin and like a dwindling string, it got smaller and smaller. I did take a couple of...

My sea cucumber just split! It looked like it was stretching. Then the stretching area narrowed. Then it got really thin. Then about 2 days later I have two sea cucumbers....

Your more than likely not going to be able to carry it on a plane. Even if your told you can by the airline staff, their written rules probably prohibit it.

I have a nice bright yellow one. He was put into the tank, wandered over to a rock and hasn't moved in 2 weeks. Just puts out his little antenna to feed. Really not to much to say. But he's there. My family thinks I'm funny when i do my impression of a sea cucumber. I just put my arms over...

More or less. Yes. Just add it slowly and check it again with they hydrometer. In my tank, it takes much less "regular" water to lower salinity than it does to add saltwater to incease salinity.
