    Drilling an acrylic tank?

    Another tip given to me was go in reverse with the hole saw, there is less chance it will bind up and chip something. Worked like a charm for my sump.

    Help with identifying an anemone

    I've used lemon juice, you have to actually inject it in them though. Kalk might work or it might make more. Boiling water sounds like a good idea but ild remove the rock if you could and nuke it.

    So we just spent all day today removing and replacing all the rock in the tank. We (I) am putting corals back, it's amazing how much more room you get when you add more rock.

    Hippo tang

    Hypo salinity is significantly lower than where your at. Quick google and I come up with 1.010-1.013

    Hippo tang

    Copper or hypo salinity Garlic infused seaweed might build up the immune system and help it fight it on its own. I feed half a leaf twice a day and my purple tang has responded well to it. I have too many corals to drop the salinity and I refuse to use copper in my tank.
