    180 gallon modification

    I have a custom 180 gallon tank (6L*2W*2H) that I would like to have converted down to to a 90 gallon (6L*2W*1H). The tank has a single overflow on the right side that is 13"L*6"W. How feasable would that be if even possible or would it be more cost effective to just have a new tank built...

    Aptasia in zoanthids

    Removing aptasia One trick that I use that works well (If you can easily remove the colony/frag) is to take a razor blade and gently scrape at the aptasia, then dab at it with a dry paper towel. It wicks them up surprisingly well and doesn't hurt the zoa at all. You have to be careful to get...

    Sea Slugs???

    Yea, they are great. Strictly algae eaters and get no longer than about an inch. They will even reproduce in your tank.

    Sea Slugs???

    Stomatella snails? Do they look like slugs with little oval shells on top of them? If they do, then most likely they are Stomatella snails. see this post http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40339&highlight=stom%2A

    Purple Hornets Zoas

    zoas Lionhead - It's definately crazy what some of these zoos are going for. I was on another forum where someone said they saw one go on Ebay for over $300:eek: I actually bought these as part of a pack with some Purple Deaths, Nuclear Greens and others, so I don't have a price on them...

    Purple Hornets Zoas

    I bought these unnamed zoos as part of a pack a few months ago. Today while doing some random zoa admiring online, I came across some zoos called Purple Hornets. The first picture is my frag taken under 250 10K halides, so they have browned out a little since I got them. The second picture is...

    clicking in my tank!

    I have a mantis shrimp and I can tell you that mine does alot of clicking, mostly when it is doing rock excavation. If you know for sure which rock the clicking is coming from and you don't want a mantis, I would isolate the rock until you can spot the source. After some time, you can try to...

    Tang maybe sick?

    Lowering Salinity http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30998 By any chance are you replacing the evaporated water with salt water? You should be using fresh water if you are. You could either do a small water change with a lower salinity mix or just replace some of your salt...

    Seeking ID.

    I have seen the red ones at times and was under the impression that they were pods. If they're not, I'd be interested to find out what they really are.

    Flat worm?

    I have flatworms, but they are the algae eating variety and stick to mostly to my rocks. Some of them hang out on my plugs and keep them pretty clean so I just let them be.

    Homicidal Hermit crabs?

    Up until recently, I had tons of small feather dusters. That was until my Majestic Angel ate them all. I have the large Tongan Nassarius as well as red and blue leg hermits and have not seen them prey on the feather dusters. I'd say it was the fish that are doing it. Most likely the damsel.

    Majestic Angelfish

    Sorry to hear about your Majestic dying:(. Hopefully this incident doesn't keep you from getting another Majestic. I have the other Majestic from SharkReef. When I first got him, it took a few days until he would eat anything because he spent most of the time hiding. After the third day, he...

    Seams splitting on sump?

    Jason, Thanks for answering my questions. I had to leave in the middle of replying to Don's post so I didn't know that you had already chimed in. I think that I will take you up on your offer to repair the sump. Like I said earlier, I don't want to have to worry about it in the future.

    Seams splitting on sump?

    I tried squirting some alcohol on both the inside and outside of the seam just to be sure and it didn't take any of it in. I don't know diddly about doing acrylic repair, but if it's possible, I would like to repair/reseal the seam. I was thinking of drilling a small hole into the seam and...

    Installing Schedule 80 bulkheads

    For the 1" bulkheads, I'll have to take off another 1/8" and for the 1 1/2" bulkheads 1/4". I don't have a router, but the idea with the holesaw sounds like it should do the trick. Thanks Guys

    Seams splitting on sump?

    Scooterman, It holds water fine, I just wanted to know what people think about this holding up in the long term. The split is in the back corner of my sump, so if for instance it sprung a small leak, it might take some time before I figure out it's even there. Since Clear Fabrications is about...

    Installing Schedule 80 bulkheads

    I recently bought a 180 gallon acrylic tank which had all the plumbing underneath hacked off, so I would like to replace the old schedule 40 bulkheads with schedule 80's. The tank has one overflow with 5 bulkheads (3-1" and 2-1 1/2") installed. To install the new bulkheads, I am going to have...
