Separate names with a comma.
Kind of an unusual question - at least it seems odd since I did quite a bit of googling to no avail. A lot of medications/treatments call for...
For the most part, yes. However, you can still experience some drift away from balanced Ca/Alk/Mg parameters. Odds are your tank's uptake won't...
Dang.. I would have totally jumped on Reeftopia's $8.25 royal gramma deal if I had seen this in time.
Rather than cutting teeth into the acrylic to try to strain out chaeto and other things from the refugium I've rigged up a screening mechanism...
The tank I'm using for the sump was a reef ready tank. I managed to get the overflows cut out (that was a lot of fun) and cleaned the silicone...
Finally out of QT and in the DT.
I'm wondering if I should go with 1/4" glass with 1/4" or 1/8" acrylic siliconed on top of it to patch the holes. It may sound kind of funny but...
No way to tie it into a bigger system? That made my life a lot easier back in my frag tank days. Less maintenance and no concerns about moving...
Wow that's really crazy. I've had my primary feeder going for probably 6 years and never ran into anything like this. I have an additional one...
Thanks! Any recommendations on a local glass shop? I'll just need a couple 1/4" pieces roughly 6" x 4" to cover the drilled holes on the bottom.
Should the glass and acrylic be cleaned with something before applying silicone? Denatured alcohol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol?
I've never experienced HLLE before and always run BRS carbon. I've heard of this theory before though and have heard others say that it's...
Thanks everyone! I'm picking up Momentive RTV from Grainger today. I was aware of the acrylic expansion.. didn't realize it took 16 weeks...
I know acrylic baffles in a glass sump aren't the ideal solution due to the bond (or lack thereof) between silicone and acrylic. However, I'm...
Thanks everyone! I stained a couple pieces of scrap wood the color of the cabinets and stuck them on the wall temporarily. It looked...
To clarify, the wood paneling we were looking at for the wall would be more of a lighter gray so it wouldn't look so heavy. The walls are a light...
Thanks... my challenge is going to be convincing my wife. She wants the trim to be painted a lighter color. I may try to grab some cheap trim...
So it's been nearly 6 months and I still haven't done anything regarding the trim around the tank. My wife and I keep going back and forth on...
Hehe, thanks. I'll probably get an update posted at some point. I ended up having marine velvet completely wipe out my tank so that set me back...
Welcome back to the hobby! Sounds like you're off to a good start.. any pics of the tank?
