moved.. was........ Fish Tanks / Custom Frag Tank Update of 1/5/13 I built the riser and cut the egg crate grates. The stands holding the grates are the "chairs" used to hold re-bar for doing concrete work. How do we test for if a plastic causes PO4 problems? These "chairs" (that really is...

Does anyone know a place that does custom frag tank sizes...? I want one of acrylic that is 11" wide X 36" long X 12" deep. It needs to set on an acrylic base mostly open at the back that is 8" tall and about 30" long. This would sit on the front of my desk and have water about 8" deep with...

Who has good coral life under RapidLED DIY kits? .. what colors of LEDs did you install? ...how high do you turned them up? ...what corals are thriving under them? Please, this is for people who actually have coral under RapidLED kits. After reading this link I realize we have no real way to...

I am exchanging e-mails with John Maloney at reef cleaners and am thinking to flip the switch. I'm looking for feed back as to how well your shipment went, how many you lost, how well the mix worked out, how well they were packed.... you get the drift. I am thinking about the "custom mix" for...

OK, redirect me to a thread or let's chat about personal mixes you like and how to freeze them in what. Also, let's kick around some good "ice trays" or similar for freezing 1/3 cube sized feedings. (that is 1/3 the size of the frozen fish food cubes at the LFSs.) Feel free to move this...

Problem Evidence: Have never been able to keep a snail alive for more that 24-48 hours. Currently, I went without snails for a month. Zoa’s don’t thrive and generally algae up or wither. Most recently thought things must be ok as all water test seem to be ok (posted below) so I tried a...

I assume they add to the bio load like fish? I'm not so clear on this one..

I know I must wait a few weeks, but want to be ready with a choice so I can do the research. I need suggestions of a fish that I can add that will work with fit the following data: 95 gal fish: ...two 1.5" "think they own the tank" yellow tail damsels.. they don't bother any of the...

OK gang, what are the squiggly things hanging out of this mushroom? A peppermint shrimp lives in the darkness of this photo.

I am getting the idea mushrooms like me and zoras don't nearly as much.. So, do some others do mushrooms best? Or am I strange? ... no skip that question...LOL.

So. .. who's the pro on these guys.. how do I see to it he is a happy camper?

Now that I think I have my lighting right.. I have soo much to learn.. OK, I have some new eagle eyes in the bottom of my tank.. because I thik I've learned from reading that is what I should do. They are peeking out but not fully extending yet.. I'm getting mixed messages. Is this normal...

and mine is 35 ppt, how big of a problem is that?

Ok.. confession time: A few weeks ago I was killing snails as fast as I purchased them.. at the time I hadn't purchased a refractometer yet and I was convinced my salinity was ok. Now, I'm gun shy to buy snails. Looking back, my salinity was about 30ppt, at my best guess, during the "snail...

I thought this would be a good place to thank all those who have been so much help. I will not go into names, but "thank"s have been sent. I have learned so much. YOU have taken me from a stark beginner to a fairly decent novice. I have made many mistakes (more than I have told about)...

Clearly the best way to better discipline yourself to do timely water changes is to make it as painless as possible. I just did my first water change after rigging myself a "bucket-less" system. ooooooh.. geeeezze.. this is way better. I did the whole change in about 10 minutes, surfed the...

So is there a calculator, chart, or something that will help determine how much salt to add to raise the reading on the refractometer one ppt, based on X gallons? OK... yeah... no salt is zero and about 1/2 cup is 35 ppt... I get that.. I'm just lazy today and am looking for one already done.

So... after playing around I discovered that if you wet your glove (I used a finger of an old glove so I can remove it and use it over and over) and place a glob of Loctite Super Glue Ultra Gel Control on the finger tip then rub the LR spot you want to attach a coral to until it wants to hold...

I’m not sure who does this, but here is how I control my testing. I label each test tube or bottle so even though I wash them thoroughly in hot tap water then RODI water I never use any test tube but for one kind of test. Also, being the caps are not glass I am careful to place them in order...

I have a pair... can't find them in any images or books.
