    Carbon is confusing

    Or even the whole top seven with reasons for the order so that we can then also do our own price and availability comparisons and figure out what we want to use independently-That would be great if you don’t mind?!? Cheers, Tracy

    I need to know quick! RTN?

    Was your glue cyanoacrylate based? This is the only kind I use and I have heard others can be bad for the coral/reef? also was the "fuzzy" tissue brownish or just white?

    A Better Salt Study Thread

    Wow- I would like to add some food for thought. It would seem that the biggest complaint about the salt study is the N of one with multiple batches of each of the 10 brands tested by 100% water change to a new batch at certain times. In my opinion the critiques appear to come from educated...

    overflow questions

    I found a good design for a closed loop that seems to have good coverage posted by Mojoreef here http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8922&page=8 in posts #119, 120, and 121. It would require leaving some space behind the tank, drilling holes in the eurobrace so that it would not...

    overflow questions

    Ron, Thanks for the advice and tips- keep it coming:D I love the idea of the peninsula tank to be able to put stuff on both sides for viewing and it has got me thinking about future possibilities. For now however I think I would like to stick with the long side against the wall type since...

    Ron, Thanks for your help!:) The dimensions are not set in stone however the space I am working with is 91 inches. To the right is a doorway, to the left I would like to leave room for the skimmer (due to height) and chiller(due to heat) outside of the stand. I figure the maximum length that...

    overflow questions

    Thanks a bunch Ron! The plan for this 72TX25Wx27T tank was 1/2 inch sides with a euro brace and 3/4 inch bottom. would you recommend thicker even with the euro brace? do you know how much this tank would weigh with the thickness of glass you recommend? Thanks again for your time. Cheers, Tracy

    Thanks Krish! I will shoot him a PM and also see what kind of responses may show up here yet. Charlie- I was looking at InterAmerican. The last Spokane club meeting was at Johns house and his tank was sweet looking- and they had great quotes too. Our new club in the Palouse (PRAS- Palouse...

    overflow questions

    I am having a new tank built. 72LX25WX27T with three sides Starfire. I was going to do two off end internal overflows. But I am considering external overflows. I have questions on a few things if anyone can help: 1. On a glass tank with external overflows the top of the back panel is just...

    Reptile to saltwater???

    I found a tank with a 60x24 footprint like I have been looking for, however it has been used to house a boa for quite some time. Anyone know if this would be incompatable with saltwater conversion? It is 32 inches tall and 1/2 inch glass- anyone know the minimum thickness for a 60Lx24Wx32T...

    Tis a sad day

    Charlie- I am very sorry to hear of your tank crash and hope that you are not discouraged so much that you won’t start another SPS tank. I have been stewing over your situation and this tread - did you notice any STN before all the RTN started? I ask because I have had a problem with some STN...

    QT for Acro Eating Flatworms

    Hey martin- If you are going to go through the hassle you might as well do the millies to- I have read posts where people have found them to be infected and if you remove the rest of the acros for the series of treatments hoping that the AFWs will starve in the mean time- the millies will likely...
