Lol I know how kids can be. I remember when my son was 2 and my plumbing on my 180 was the thin pvc. He took his toy hammer to it and cracked the pvc. Of course I was at work at the time. You should have heard the wifes phone call lol. Needless to say I had to redo my plumbing and went with the...

I did something similer on my old 180 gal. I used 2 big wet dry systems that I gutted. The first one I used to hold my skimmer with a baffle then a fuge with held chetao. Then I drilled and connected the second one with a 2" bulkhead (overkill). In the second one I had culpera in a second fuge...

I agree with Sep a hydrometer can be off quite a way. I find they work ok at first but start to drift away over time. For 50 bucks you can get a nice you and I happen to know a great place to get it from. Right here on SWF.com https://www.saltwaterfish.com/Refractometer_p_135.html

They lady at the LFS I go to all the time had a huge one she raised in a 180 reef tank. I never got out of control and never really stung any of her corals. There were a couple time a coral would drop on it and then yeah of course going to go to war. But this this stood about 8-10" inches tall...

Good to see you still in the hobby seth. I have been out of the hobby for quite a while. Finally broke down and got a 75 gallon. will be ordering parts for my build next week (when my christmas bonus comes in ;) ) Nicle thread and good looking tank

Yep pretty sure it is your rock that is causing the problem not sure what is wrong with it but hey sometimes you dont have to know what the problem was just that you fixed it. Good luck hope it works out for you

No he was smart I will give him that. He put me on an recorded line after he said he whole speech on how I owe money so that he would have me taped saying I would settle and he could take the 500. I guess that would be legal in the end I would have gave him permission to do so. When reading up...

I get a call today from an indian guy that said his name was Danny Spencer (yeah). He said he was from some law center in cali and that I took a pay advance a few months ago from some Advance Cash Mutual and never paid. He is going to sue me but we could settle out of court for 500 bucks. I...

Man if you got other fish in the tank. Do you have coral and inverts? if not I would do hypo to the entire tank

What if it is online it must be true lol. No not everyone are a scam but you never know. Remember that little trick it works on sand and everything always better to be sure before it goes in to your tank :)

Do me a favor and try a little test. Take a piece of rock a break a piece off. Then get a small bowl and fill it with white distilled venegar. Take the piece of rock you broke off and smash it to powder (sand) and drop it into the bowl of venegar. See if it starts to fizz up like soda. The...

I cant agree more this things a great. I have one in my sump one om my tank and one with my skimmer. wont stop it from overflowing but nice to know it will let you know when it does happen. Oh yeah piece of advice dont take the battery out lol.

I think you are asking will a 20 gal sump keep your tank stable. The answer is no you dont need a sump to keep the tank stable. Now if your asking is a 20 gal good for a sump? yes. Also I would have to agree with bang on drilling the bottom of a tempered glass tank is never a good idea unless...

They are not needed. It is mostly for looks if you like the way the tank looks then leave it. Remember the old saying if it aint broke dont fix it. It does help with a dusk/dawn effect in your tank and the nightlights are nice and make the colors pop a little better. Also there is some debate on...

IMO A recirculating skimmer is better. The difference is that a recirculting skimmer has to be fed water via a pump or plumbed to your overflow. What that does is give you the ability to regulate the amount of water going to the skimmer without effecting the water level and amount if air being...
