    Problem with leaking pipe!!

    I've had decent luck going at things like that with reef safe plumbers putty. The ones that say they bond to pvc usually bond to acrylic and glass as well. They cure under water as well. if you can clear out the area, seal around the bulkhead, then go at the back around the nut and then where...

    Mixing Clowns?

    I've had pretty good luck as long as they can stake out a terratory that is not line of sight to the other one. I have 3 different clown types in my tank, and they were not always in the beast I have now.

    Metal Halide or T-5

    I like the t-5s as well. Little more costly in the end when you figure bulbs and the like maybe, but less energy on the electric bill and less heat. I couldn't get the coverage I have now with 3 1000K bulbs, and I'd be running a chiller most of the year.

    HELP! Cracking tank

    I actually have a 300 sitting in my shop with a custom overflow, and drilled for a closed loop. I bought it off another member here a bit ago, but if you make me an offer that covers my cost, time, and gas to get it and deliver it, I could have it at your door tommorow (if Dave comes out to...

    Anyone interested in a part time summer job?

    A chunk of the job will be reef related so I guess this is ok to post here? Basically, as most know, I'm somewhat disabled due to complications from heart surgery and I keep way overdoing things and ending up on the couch for a couple days in pain because of it. I need someone who knows at...

    Jays 75 gallon reef build

    Looks like a nice start. Nothing better than a custom built stand built to last. I can never bring myself to trust the storebought ones.

    bye bye sand bed, hello rock bed. Opinions?

    well... its about 3/4 off level thanks to the floor in the garage, but over 8 1/2 feet I can live with it. More importantly, I don't want to move the dang thing again. tommorow I suppose I should plumb it as its filling with water now.. the 300 stand is in place as well... took some...

    the new 8 year old reefer next door.

    this kid is bizarre. I can kinda relate, I was in nerd school when I was a kid as well. I killed most of my brain cells in college and the rest painting cars

    the new 8 year old reefer next door.

    little backround, the kid across the street is off the scale smart. Skipped a couple grades and is now home schooled. I have a couple degrees (that I never used) and my grandfather was an english prof. Unfortunatly I never inhered the gift of spelling to save my life. Anyway, at 8 this kid...
