mg1197, I am a plastics engineer. There are a few things to think about acrylic scratches. One is how were they formed? If the scratches were formed by a rock scratch or scrubbing pad, you are in luck (sort of). If they were caused by chemical attack like using a ammonia bassed cleaner, they...

Hello, Looking for frags for sale near Erie, PA. Bill

My tank recenty began to grow new white specs. As they grew it was easy to see that they had a q-tip head and two small fan like projections. They also have an open end where the small projections came out. After some investigation, I found posts with photo's that showed the new growts to be...

I agree with saltyrich that live rock is prefered. His insight is warranted. I purchase my tulfa rock in large slabs from a landcaping company for $15 each slab. It was very cheap. The "dead pocket" is suspected to fuel the rapid growth of beneficial bacteria. The problem is that you ony...

I am not sure about all the information that saltyrich spoke about. I can only tell of my experiences. As a geeky engineer I am always trying things. After alot of reading I determined to convert a fish only tank to reef. I moved my non-reef safe fish to another tank and then began the...

fishfreak, Thanks for the reply. I have been a little nervious today, because I really want this to be a success. At the LFS the coral was only refered to as a crown leather. I have searched on the internet, and It does seem to look very similar to a toadstool. I can only say that the polyps...
