    Also when a friend showed me how to drill glass we used the dripping water from a hose thing and we set the clutch on it so if it caught the glass it would rip it/ try to rotate the tank. nice and slow. he also have thing plastic thing with holes in it. we used it to keep the bit from wandering...

    300ZXNA's 30 gal nanoreef

    I'm sure a ph controller would be best. also the CO2 regulators might not be cheap. i was thinking about trying to get some from a paint ball setup. if not there then from a welding place like Ox-arc... I have a ph meter but it need a new probe... i was thinking about guessing. Of course i...

    I'm thinking about starting a mushroom tank

    Blue with green stripe or green with blue stripe? I know this is a little off topic, but I found the site of the people who made one of the tanks i'm selling and they had this pic. http://www.windsor-aquatics.co.uk/images/iotm/valleyboy.jpg My question is, "Do people in this country have nice...

    300ZXNA's 30 gal nanoreef

    I have one kind of like the first one, but i think that is different The 2nd I do not have I don't think i have the 3rd either. i know i have one pink on somewhere, but it was small when i got it, so i don't know what the center looks like. If they are big enough for you to frag, i'd be glad to...

    I'm thinking about starting a mushroom tank

    RofS, you going to the bright side of the force? MH for you?!?! Delmi, I'll have to look again, I thought i was minus a shroom from chend2, but I was so tried and my tank is a little big, so it is easy to lose things... I found the clove and the blue one I think. what colour was the other...

    That looks good! Let me know when it is time to frag you zoa... I have some torch coral if you are still looking for some. I agree with them... you have a lot of stuff absorbing Ca unless you dose with more than Kalk it'll be hard to keep your Ca up. (don't forget Mg) Have you thought about...

    I'm thinking about starting a mushroom tank

    I might try that... I have a small plastic tank that I put my frags in until i glue them. Some of the mushrooms are so small that they come out easy... I think it'd work if i used a 2nd small plastic tank for the ones that i'm going to glue... krisfal, How is it where you are? I thought the...

    I'm thinking about starting a mushroom tank

    The blue one is. I also got a rock from a local guy who is shutting down is tank for cheap when i got loads of his LPS. it is covered in small light red mushrooms and caluerpa (can't spell today) I got about a half dozen off of it, but i think only one or two stayed glued... I have at least 3...

    I'm thinking about starting a mushroom tank

    It has been hit or miss (with loads of misses) when i glue mushrooms to rock/rubble, so i was thinking about make'n a mushroom tank. I would connect it to other tanks, and I would use rubble or gavel for the bottom. once it is attached to something small i would glue the rubble/gravel to a piece...

    300 gallon aquascaping

    OH, an i would plumb the out put of pumps (internal and external) different places in your tank... like have a pump in the back send water into a pipe and have the pipe go under the sand and come out near the front glass...

    300 gallon aquascaping

    Bare bottom, inch or two, or DSB? I would get some reef safe two part epoxy like aquascape from DD or milliput to "glue" rock to rock or rock to glass If your going to use sand i like the idea i some somewhere where they stuck acrylic rods to a sheet of acrylic so that it lifted the rock off the...

    First marine/reef set up

    If I had a budget like that i would get an LED light system. I saw one the other day had ALL of the bells and wistles and as much light as a 400W MH, it is modular so one can replace "banks" of LEDs it was $4700 for a six-footer. they say the LEDS last 10+ years make very little heat. You'll...

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    quibrzif has a point there. AND not only is it bullet proof, but it is lighter and lets more light through than glass. I only downsides I can think of are price, (but you might be able to get away with normal plexi-glass) possible warp-age (heat from the MH) and scratching (no way around that...

    A refugium question

    one can also get it from the bottom of a LR bin at a LFS. I was able to empty the bottom of a LR bin and got loads of gravel and rubble, (some rocks) and loads and loads of silt. It took me quite some time to get it all sorted. I siphoned a lot of it out of my tank. or GARF.org sales some with...

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    You should be able to use a good cooler (coleman or other camping kind) as a fuge... it would be hard to put a bulkhead in one, but if you had a couple on the same level you could use U pipes to connect them...
