    Need tang/fish advice

    Alright, I have the 180 with water in it. Nothing will be moved into it yet but I need to get my fish list finalized. I am going to leave the yellow out until I get the other tang(s) ready to go in. My question is, would a yellow tang, a sailfin and a powder brown be too much for the tank? I...

    Kill it All....

    How do vermetid snails reproduce? I have a few as well but I try and bust them off when I can. I would think baking or boiling would kill anything. I can't believe they survived that long.

    Salt switching question

    I am trying out Red Sea Reef Pro. I have used Oceanic for about 2 years and on my last batch it seems as if my hair algae has taken off. When I make SW, it leave a bad residue in the bucket. The red sea is not dissolving to my liking though ...

    Cracked glass?

    Yes, I checked with All Glass. That is what really made me suspicious. They basically said it would not crack like that and they even mentioned it sounded like a "silicone runner" :)

    Cracked glass?

    LOL, but when you are getting info second hand these things can happen I guess... Turns out that it was indeed a bead of silicone. I went over and checked the glass out and once I ran the razor blade over it, the line was gone! Wow was that a mess avoided. Thanks for all the tips!

    Cracked glass?

    My friend is going to call in a glass specialist to give it a look. Thanks

    Cracked glass?

    Well, the crack is on the bottom glass so if it was tempered, it would have exploded and not cracked. This would mean that the bottom was not tempered. But according to the LFS, they are tempered. hmmm. Maybe it was not cracked? It felt like a lip with the finger nail... This is nuts.

    Cracked glass?

    Doubt warranty would play a factor. Can't really say how it happened. Seems like a defect would be the only reason to warranty it. If it did leak, would it most likely drip or explode? Are these tempered after they are drilled?

    Cracked glass?

    this is on a 125 so the mess would be bad for sure. I know it is not silicone. Could it be repaired? It is a pristine tank otherwise.

    Cracked glass?

    Hi all, Helped a friend move a tank over the weekend and noticed that there was a hairline crack in the overflow that ran from one bulkhead to another. You could feel it from the inside but not the outside. This is on a All Glass tank with the Megaflo overflow. Upon setting it backup, we...

    Need tang/fish advice

    I do QT new fish. Do you think it will be an issue that if the new fish is in QT for 6 weeks and I get the 180 set up and the Yellow is placed first in the 180. If the Yellow is there for 4-6 weeks before the new guy, I could see him going postal on the new addition. Should I keep the yellow...

    Need tang/fish advice

    That is what I fear. I love my yellow has he has been great but I want more swimmers. LFS had a nice medium size sailfin that I would love to have but he is half the size of the Yellow. I was always leary of overstocking the 75 but I should have more room now :)

    Moving from a 75 to a 180

    Thanks. I just know that I need supplement light too though. I have to keep my dusk/dawn effect. Would a 2x96 CF setup be sufficient or would I need to go 4x96?

    Moving from a 75 to a 180

    Hi all, I have a 75 gal tank with a 50 gal sump and a 33 gal frag tank all in the same system. I am finishing out my basement and will be replacing the 75 with a 180. I had planned of using my 4ft retro 2x250MH/ 2x54 T5 fixture and just adding a single 250 MH retro on the end. Do you think...

    Berlin skimmer questions, can you help?

    I use a mag7 on my Berlin and I yanked the venturi that came with it and replaced it with a different one. I can't remember the name though. I got it from Premium Aqatics for about $15. It has greatly increased the production of the skimmer. Definately not the best skimmer but I have had...
