    Drilling a glass tank?

    if the tank has a tempered bottom you may not be able to drill the bottom. but the sides are often not tempered.in this case you will need a diamond tipped drill bit(hole saw) http://www.3reef.com/aquarium-page-Content-viewarticle-37.html

    Lighting for refugiums

    my understanding of calupera is to keep the light on 24/7 to help prevent it from going sexual. I run 2 -12" 18 watt pcf on my 30 g fuge. I got rid of the calupera(sort of) and keep cheato

    Glasscages..

    I looked into their tanks a few years ago.. i wasn't concerned about quality (from what I heard they had a good product) the issue with glass tanks is shipping. if they were doing a show nearby you could just pick the tank up at their show..but I didn't see any in this area.

    I had a bryopsis problem..and you do have to be very careful when removing it. out of frustration..I pickedup 2 lettuce sea slugs. one ate some then went to the fuge. the other has a big appeatite for bryopsis..it has nearly cleaned the entire tank.

    i need help aquascaping

    I found it easier to have someone with me when I was placing the rock..they can get a birdseye view of it ..it's tough to do it when you get the distortion from the top. and when you are too close. in my case ..it was my spousal unit that wanted the look so she directed while i placed.

    Neutralize erythromycin for disposal

    it won't..if you dump it , depending on your waste disposal..it either goes into a septic or gets dilluted in the sewer. you stand a better chance of developing a resistant strain in your closed systems... if you are really all that worried pour/strain it thru a bag of activated carbon.

    Can ick just happen?

    the theory is that the ich can only manifest itself(given the right habitat) for 11 months. in essence they belief is that it can only sustain it's reproductive cycle up to that 11 month period.(al least in thei one study) the ich itself cycle takes as little as 4 weeks and as much as 8...
