    gettin my rock off that darn sand

    Here's a quick 3d sketch I tossed together to better explain what I'm talking about.

    gettin my rock off that darn sand

    No, basically I took the egg crate/lighting screen and put it on top of the sand. I then broke out a couple of the squares to make holes just big enough to put the pvc pipe thru. I then cut/drilled and stuck the pipes into these holes to make pylons for my rock to sit on. Basically the egg crate...

    gettin my rock off that darn sand

    that's what I figured... I guess since it's sitting on top of my sand bed right now, I just visualized it becoming a detritus trap.

    gettin my rock off that darn sand

    So… this weekend I got the bright idea of putting my rock up on pylons to get it off the sand and hopefully create better flow throughout my tank. To do this, I cut pvc, drilled a bunch of holes in it so pods, water, worms, ect could get thru it and help maintain movement even thru the piping...

    Depends on the company... What's your favorite fish?

    is this normal

    Well, you're still gonna have a flat worm promblem then...Guess if it already ate it, all you can do is watch the coral and hope it's okay. Of course if you get another nudi, you'll need to isolate/separate that coral.

    killin aiptasia

    From years ago, in my fish only inexperienced days, I have a dead sea fan that I glued to a small rock and have stuck in my reef tank. I know it's a little sad, but it helps fill in the back of my tank and collects stray cheato strands rather well...anyway, the other day I saw an aiptasia on it...

    I've had friends so far, but it's been flirting with disaster every time I come home for some reason or another?! Someday, I'd like to automate it... Anyone else here run their tank with no sump?

    DSB w vs w/o Plenum

    so, do you think bothering to build a pipe support structure, kind of like dock planks, to suspend my rock 1/4 to 1/4" off the sand would be substantially benifitial to flow and keeping those unwanted particles in suspension? If it were any higher than that I don't think I could hide the...

    New RO unit

    yup, it's generally not a good idea to do anything in this hobby to quickly, but that's part of the fun, testing your patients!

    a couple little ones from IPSF, but haven't seen them since releasing into my sand... (I know, I know...sand!!) What has been the biggest waste of money you've bought since starting this hobby?

    Erik, not sure exactly what you're looking for; I myself only tattoo, but the shop does have someone who does scarification and branding, I could also give you other advise on where to go if I think it would better suit your needs. I know a few people in the business that will do all sorts of...

    DSB w vs w/o Plenum

    Do you think raising our live rock off the substrait, would help substantially with flow for our live rock and live sand? I like a dsb myself, so am thinking if I can raise my rock off the sand itself, perhaps using pvc plumbing pipes, with a few holes drilled into the sides of them, it could...

    snobanker... generally yes. It depends on the tattoo, but yeah, I do touch up work on a lot of older tattoos. there's also the option sometimes of covering them up and changing it into a new tattoo.. being an older tattoo, it actually can make it a lot easier to freshen up or change. I work two...

    Though most of the time I spend on here (which is way to much!) is just browsing around and learning all I can, when ever I do have a question or have asked for help in anyway, people have been very generous. Someday I'll be able to offer back frags of my own hopefully, but for now, at least I...
