    jrothma's 225 (re)build

    Manually removed most of the hydroids yesterday. (See photo) There were several clumps on two separate very nice rocks that I didn't want to totally kill off yet. If they come back with a vengeance, it will have to be done, I suppose. Thinking of Sarah's idea of boiling them, I'm wondering...

    Update, pump, hydroids? and algae Not much progress this week with other projects going in the new house (home theater projector and screen go in this week!) Tested the used Hammerhead pump to find it was seized. The previous owner probably never cleaned or even rinsed it when he took his...

    I hope this is the right place to post, if not, I could move to the newbie forum. Recently bought a house with a 225 tank built-in, but basically nothing but the tank left in place. I'll attach a photo I found of the tank set up in 2002 when the house was originally built. When originally...
