    Hey guys...I'm back.

    It's been a while, just thought I'd hop in and say hi! I am considering getting back into it with a custom build. Maybe a plywood if I can figure out a good way to keep it from leaking. Does anyone here have a functioning plywood setup maybe in the 200-300 gallon range? :helm2:

    Berghia nudibranch?

    I'm looking for some way to naturally control my aiptasia issue. I've decided against a butterfly due to their notorious difficulty in care. I have 4 peps but they only go after the small ones. Joe's juice and all the homemade tonics have failed repeatedly. I ran across a page about the...

    How do you test for stray voltage?

    Can i use a standard voltage meter? I have a very good meter and it's very sensitive, would that work? I'm assuming the source of stray voltage would be from say a pump or something like that? Thanks

    Nasty filmy crap on the surface.

    I modded my overflow by drilling small holes in it to increase water flow and to provide multi-directional pull from the water column. The problem i'm running into now is that it isn't pulling the crap off of the surface. My return line from my sump is pushing it into one corner so I can...

    I'm looking to have a 180g built...

    Hey gang, I'm starting to look into a new tank. I want either a 180g with corner overflows and starphire or a 225g same setup. I saw an awesome site but now I can't find it. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.:mrgreen:

    Cyano?

    Does cyano ever grow to the point where it resembles hair algae? I have an algae that is tall and dark black/purple and my critters aren't eating it. In the past my emeralds and turbos have just mowed the hair algae down but not this time. Anyone have any thoughts on what it might be? Thanks

    What the @$!% is up with my perameters?

    So last night I did a 15% water change. Nitrates before the water change were 10ppm. Nitrates after the water change were 20ppm. I double checked. Anyone know why? I'm confused.

    Finnex Titanium Digital Heater

    I've had this 500 watt heater for about two weeks and it's awesome, easy to set and incredibly accurate. I've been checking the temp with a digital thermometer and they match spot on every time. The thermostat probe is seperate from the heating element so you can place it far away from the...

    Watts per gal. for anemones question.

    I've checked around some different sites including this one and I can't find a clear answer. I'm looking into getting an Anemone soon and I was wondering if 4.32 watts per gallon would cover it. I do want to try and get it to get comfortable in a cartain spot in my tank which happens to be the...

    A death in my fish family. :(

    So after losing a gorgeous Lemonpeel angel I'm left nervous and a little light in the wallet. I know that even thought the puffer and the Lemonpeel SHOULD have gotten along just fine, nothing is certain. I want to be sure of my livestock choices. I want ultimately to have a Lemonpeel and an...

    Emergency--sick fish, help!

    Last night I purchased a new Lemonpeel..... She looked fine at the LFS, no Ich or anything...we drip acclimated her for 45 minutes once we got home and she was pretty active. This morning I found her hiding behind a rock close to the bottom of the tank and it looks like she is breathing really...

    Quiet One 3000 return pump

    The Quiet One 3000 return pump lives up to it's name I can't hear it running at 750gph at all. I got it for $60 which I thought was reasonable too.:mrgreen:

    Python No Spill system question.

    I just got a Python No Spill system but it's just barely too short to reach to my sink I think. Does anyone know if you can buy extra lengths of hose to add to it? I don't wanna open it if i can't so I can return it and get the longer one. Thanks in advance.

    Aiptasia control pt. 2

    So I've got a syringe and I was planning on using lemon juice to kill them. I've read that that will raise the pH in my tank but by how much? Also, how much lemon juice will each anemone take to kill it? Thanks.

    Corals in my Fowlr?

    I know this renders the term Fish only with live rock useless but are there any types of corals that would survive in my semi-aggressive FOWLR? I have a puffer which would get nippy but they co-exist in nature so I was just wondering. Thanks in advance.

    UV sterilizer question...

    My next investment is gonna be a UV sterilizer but I need some advice. I'd rather have a stand alone type as opposed to an in-line one. I was thinking of putting it in my sump until I realized the model I was looking at has a powerhead built into it. I really don't want that much turbulance...
