    Killing Aiptasia with a laser?

    Man, this looks so much more effective than super glue. Just don't hit your fish. :mrgreen: Aiptasia Zap - YouTube

    Magnetic Seahorse Feeding Trough

    You guys probably already know about it, but when looking for a vortech driver holder I found this: Wet Acrylic Seahorse Feeding Trough Looks convenient because of the magnets, and it has a hitch too.

    Sump 101

    Re: what is everything i need for a sump You will need. Baffles x 4, all the same height and width. If your sump is glass, get them cut at a glass shop. Measure the inside of your sump tank, and reduce the measurement by 1/4". Transfer measurement to cardboard panel, make sure the cardboard...

    Will removing a large rock from the sand bed cause a nitrate spike?

    I have this medium rock, about 9lbs, that takes up about about a quarter of my 30g tank's footprint. It is absolutely covered in halimeda, which have grown to reach the top of the tank; it's cutting light and flow by blocking my powerhead and lights on that side, and it's catching debris in its...

    What would you say is the MOST important thing to consider in this hobby?

    I'd have to go with water. No matter how nice your tank or equipment, it all means nothing without a source of pure water. I think when a lot of us are new, we just don't realize, no matter how much we read, how much we'll actually be mixing saltwater or topping off our tanks. After everything...

    BRS 'Reef Saver', and BRS Pukani dry rock comparison..

    Yay, received my first 'new' batch of live rock today. Ordered 16lbs of BRS Pukani rock, and 10lbs of BRS Reef Saver rock. Sorry for the mess in the background. BRS Pukani Rock. That big piece is more than a foot across, and 9-10" deep, just as a size reference. The table is 30" across. BRS...

    For those of you looking for Weld On and can't find it in stores...

    The vendor TechnologyLK on Amazon has it. I was able to get Weld On 4 and some applicator bottles, and they also have Weld On 3 and 16. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it (can't be shipped by air without special processing). Just a heads up for anyone looking to bond acrylic. I thought...

    What is going on with my coralline?

    For the last several weeks, there's been a trail of missing coralline in a circle on one rock. I figured I must have scratched it off when moving it around, and that it would grow back. Upon closer examination, it's like something has eaten it away, and I've been picking off asterina stars from...

    Will silicone stick to acrylic?

    I ordered a bunch of 'cut to size' acrylic from tap plastics (for an algae scrubber), only to find out that the preferred 'Weld On 4 or 16' cement is non-shippable by air. This is the cement that melts the separate acrylic pieces into one, and I thought I could walk into any hardware store and...

    PB Blaster on RODI connection. Contamination worry?

    For the life of me I can't get the washer hose off its faucet. I have the right tools, know the righty tighty lefty loosey thing, but it's just not coming off. I've banged on it a bit, tried to squeeze as tight as I can without crushing the threads, but I feel if I give it anymore torque it's...

    Anemone, dendro?

    Sorry, this is the best pic I could get of it. It's on the back of the rock my blue zoos came on and it's only opened a few times, usually when I put food in the tank. It's much more pink than in this picture. Thoughts?

    Which plumbing setup?

    I have a 1500gph glassholes overflow, going into two 1.5" drains. Should I combine the drains, or keep them apart? If the drains are separate, they'll be draining into the same sump section, where an algae scrubber will be. I have all the pieces cut for the setup on the left, so the...

    Glass-holes is awesome!

    Awhile ago I purchased the 1500gph overflow kit from glass-holes. Being the newb I am, I installed it about an inch lower than where it should have been, and the water level was under the rim of the tank (ugly!). So I contacted glass-holes and asked them if there was a way they could make me a...

    In for new corals!

    Been doing some shopping the last couple of days. :bounce: Frogspawn Grape and Orange Montis Green Yuma Also picked up a duncan and daisy polyps, but haven't gotten a decent pic yet. Doing a tank transfer to a bigger tank soon, so they're not mounted in their appropriate places yet. :)

    Macro, coral, or something?

    Any idea what this is? He's about the size of a BB, appears rigid and doesn't sway in the current. He's more mint green then the picture shows.

    See anything else that's bothering my Zoos in this picture?

    I picked up these beautiful pink zoas from Liveaquaria, and within' a week of putting them in my tank, I lost nearly 75% of the pink colony. The few that are left are holding on, but they don't want to fully open. The green colony on the right seems happy, and I've lost none of them. The flash...

    900gph pump too much flow through a 29 gallon sump?

    Will this work? Display Tank - 75 gallons Overflow - 1500gph glassholes kit (1.5" dual) Sump - 29 gallons Layout - Skimmer/Return/Refuge Return - Eheim 1262 (900gph) Given the length of the sump tank (30") I don't have a lot of room for a fuge, maybe 7-8 gallons worth. The return pump will...

    How to raise PH of distilled water for hyposalinity?

    Using the hyposalinity treatment to cure ich. Lowered tank water from 1.025 to 1.020 with 3 gallons of distilled water (15 gallon tank) and will be doing a few more water changes over the next day or so to bring it down to 1.009. I baked some baking soda, and was wondering how I go about mixing...
