I am going to be building a couple of nanotanks (tank and...

    Well need some insight

    I might be concerned about algae buildup in the tubing or tunnel. We had a situation where our overflow tubing developed gunking and required regular flushing/cleaning. Only thing that seemed to work well, was being able to pull the pipe out and give it a good scrub. Perhaps consider how you are...

    Tempered Glass/Chemical Strengthening

    Funny thing. I think I did get the "go to gal". I was transfered to her from the receptionist. I suspect I would have had a better experience if I had gone into the store in person. Good news though. I talked with a friend today, and he referred me to another glass place. I'm still collecting...

    Tempered Glass/Chemical Strengthening

    I recieved frightening customer service while researching Tempered Glass and Chemical Strengthening of glass. Reached a person who had never heard of chemical strengthing, and who would not listen to my questions. I simply received canned responses, and was abruptly cut off. How would you...

    Online and PNW Sources for Tempered Glass

    I'm researching tempered glass for an article and a DIY project. I would like recommendations to both online websites and PNW distributors of tempered glass. Have you ordered online? Have you bought local? How'd it go? Which did you find was more economical?

    Aragocrete - Self Made Liverock and Tables

    GARF makes a cement that it recommends for making your own liverock. I was considering purchasing a bag, and then going down to my local plastics place and picking up some shavings. Here's an article for setting up a zero impact reef tank http://www.garf.org/aragwk/zero.html I was wondering if...

    moving shrooms

    I've never considered splitting mushrooms to be a cruel thing, it makes friends and clones for them to hang out with :D ... and then you can have a beautiful colony. We have great luck with toothpicking, and once a shroom has been sliced off a rock to be relocated the existing flesh turns into...

    Chipped Glass Causing Tank Explosions/Cracks

    :D I absolutely intend to do so. I emailed PSAS for due fees and am intending to become a member. I have friends who are members. Most of the LS shops we got to on a regular basis are sponsors of PSAS events and the forums too! I'm looking forward to meeting up and trading frags. We don't have...

    Chipped Glass Causing Tank Explosions/Cracks

    :razz: Sure! I understand. I'm actually just polling for actual tanks that have structurally failed due to a chip or ding. I've not known anyone who's experienced this personally. Thanks for the response!

    candy coral 5 polyps

    This candy coral has decided to grow like gang busters under the new actinic/metal halide lights in out 40 gallon tank. It's a small miracle. 1 year ago, the husband went to work in China for 2 months, we had an avalance, and 2 of the 3 polyps were shredded and then died. Look at it now! 5 polyps a

  16. Tube Anemone

    Tube Anemone

    I call this tube anemone the "Joker". It hasn't increased much in size since we purchased it less than a year ago. It likes to stay in the sand, but initially it was settled in a hole in the live rock. It always seems to like to hang at the front of the tank. I like to watch it feed. At ni

    Chipped Glass Causing Tank Explosions/Cracks

    I'm a long time lurker and appreciator, but first time poster. I really wish I would have started contributing a year ago... so that others could have gotten to know me by now. :oops: I've heard of the dangers of chips and dings, but I've yet to hear of a tank explosion due to a chip... the...
  18. Hammer coral

    Hammer coral

    We've had this hammer coral for a little over 1 year. It has begun to split. At first we placed it in an area with too much water circulation (twisted them up a bit) causing the tendrils to enlarge and bloat. Now it has had 6 months recovery time, and is near to normal. Likes low water circulation.
